However since The Muppets are in for others so is Meet The Feebles for me 01 The Rocky Horror Picture SHow 02 Grease 03 Meet The Feebles 04 Pink Floyd's The Wall 05 Purple Rain 06 The Wizard Of Oz 07 Little Shop Of Horrors 08 Shock Treatment 09 The Blues Brothers 10 Blazin' Saddles 11 Oh! What A Lovely War 12 Viva Las Vegas 13 Chitty Chitty Bang Bang 14 Les Miserables 15 The King And I 16 A Hard Day's Night 17 Willy Wonka & The Choclate Factory (71) 18 Repo: The Genetic Opera 19 Sweeney Todd 20 Head 21 Rock 'N Roll High School

I found the love, I found the love in me Pronouns: He/Him Joined: 13 December 2007 Posts: 87,451 User: 5,042	So hard to decipher what is and what isn't a musical. So for Disney movies etc.. I don't feel like they're "musicals" as opposed to movies just with a couple of songs in... And I was very close to not including autobiographical ones for that reason, but decided to just score/rank them a bit further down (Walk the Line for example is one of my absolute fave films) so I don't know. But here, have this list! 01. La La Land (2017) 02. Little Shop of Horrors (1986) 03. The Muppets Christmas Carol (1992) 04. Pitch Perfect (2012) 05. Oliver! (1968) 06. Les Miserables (2012) 07. Annie (1982) 08. Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) 09. Walk The Line (2005) 10. Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (1971) --- 11. Grease (1978) 12. Hairspray! (2007) 13. Jersey Boys (2014) 14. Sweeney Todd (2007) 15. Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) 16. High School Musical (2006) 17. Mamma Mia! (2008) 18. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) 19. High School Musical 2 (2007) 20. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)

The owls are not what they seem Pronouns: He/him Joined: 11 July 2009 Posts: 37,127 User: 9,232	1. Mary Poppins 2. The Wizard of Oz 3. The Lion King 4. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang 5. La La Land 6. Bugsy Malone 7. Beauty and the Beast 8. High School Musical (It was cute at the time ok) 9. Frozen 10. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory About all I can do I'm afraid as I haven't seen a lot of the big classic musicals I included Disney films that are most renowned for their music even if I deduct them a little bit as I would've given them my top vote in animation. (These are all originals, no remakes)

my anxiety attacks Joined: 15 April 2009 Posts: 30,756 User: 8,674	Outside the top 3 it's tough to order because I don't know whether to favour movies that I view as more genuine musicals (like Into The Woods/Chicago/Annie which you'll find on Broadway), base it on which have the best songs or which movies I enjoy the most overall 1. Grease 2. Mamma Mia 3. High School Musical (no shame, this absolutely has to slay) 4. Sing Street 5. Pitch Perfect 6. Trolls 7. Pitch Perfect 2 8. Charlie & the Chocolate Factory 9. Into The Woods 10. Frozen 11. Moana 12. Sing 13. Chicago 14. Annie (2014) 15. Begin Again (I can't remember how much music this includes, but Wiki does use the term 'musical' and Sam has included it to)
