I don't own any musicals but the only one's I like are the original Producers, Little Shop of Horrors, Blues Brothers, you think the South Park movie counts as a musical.
Lastly whats the criteria for a musical, generally I say if the movie has more than 2 songs that are sung its a musical.

I'd say the criteria for a musical is that it has alot of music in it as a very dominant force in the film itself.  It doesn't have to be musical numbers in it in the traditional classical musical sense like say Singin' in the Rain where all the characters are singing their thoughts and feelings out loud and dancing and whatnot.

I just remembered I also have DR. DOLITTLE with Rex Harrison.

I said I'd forget some, and, indeed, I did, several of which have been mentioned since my first post in this thread:

Little Shop of Horrors
Labyrinth
Footloose
Flashdance
Mary Poppins
My Fair Lady

The Sound of Music (ech)
The Muppet Movie (and the others as well)
Young Frankenstein
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Phantom of the Paradise
Rock 'n Roll Frankenstein
1776


and one that hasn't been mentioned yet, but that I know many here own:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (it's only a model)

Oh, and if Wag can count the musical Buffy and Xena episodes, then I'll count the musical Hamlet episode of Gilligan's Island (a true classic if there ever was one!).

And there's probably more that I've forgotten.

If we're stretching definitions, I'd like to add The Wicker Man, with it's many folk songs. Among the most notable:

Between the clothes and the hair and the goofy musical number, this guy reminds me of Benny Hill. When I watch this, I half expect him to launch into a verse about some woman's knickers. :teddyr:
