Top 10 Movie Musicals of All TimePDFPrintE-mail
Ignatius Oyama

Who doesn’t like movie musicals? Even the blind and the deaf like films set to music and dance, even without the dance part. This film genre is irresistible because of the songs and melodies, basically.

1. Cabaret (1972) – Factor in an American female dancer, a rich German politician, a teacher from London, a Jewish man with an identity crisis in the Berlin of 1930 and you have the formula for a topnotch musical.


2. Grease (1978) – A sweet conservative Australian girl falls in love with a good-looking American boy on vacation down under. They separate when the American goes home to the U.S. but unexpectedly are united when the Aussie girl enrolls in the same high school in American as her boyfriend. Stars Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta who were in their twenties but pass for high-school lovers.

3. The Lion King (1994) – An unscrupulous and ambitious lion with the help of hyenas kills the lion king to usurp his title. The late king’s male cub runs away to save himself and comes back as a young adult to claim his righteous title.

4. Mary Poppins (1964) – Live action and animation in a wonderful mix with lots of singing and dancing. Stars the ever-delightful Julies Andrews and Dick Van Dyke with the irritatingly fake English accent.

5. My Fair Lady (1964) – Adapted from the Broadway musical about a professor who takes a bet to transform a rough Cockney girl into a lady.

6. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) – A ridiculous story of a couple who leaves Denton, Ohio but have to take shelter in the castle of a transvestite scientist where an annual convention of visitors from planet Transsexual is held. Take it from there.

7. Singin’ in the Rain (1952) – A wonderful tale set in 1927 when the era of the silent movie make the transformation into sound, but a beautiful leading lady has such a terrible voice not fit for her looks that her leading man falls in love with another girl who dubs his leading lady’s voice. Stars the legendary dancer/actor Gene Kelly.

8. The Sound of Music (1965) – Another Julie Andrews starrer where she plays a woman who gives up her ambition to be a nun and becomes the governess of the children of a high-ranking naval officer, a widower engaged to be married. Andrews brings music and fun into the lives of the children and she falls in love with their father.

9. West Side Story (1961) – Romeo and Juliet set in New York with the Capulets and Montagues becoming two rival street gangs, the Jets and Sharks. The superb music is by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and the just as wonderful choreography by Jerome Robbins make this a musical with high viewing repeatability.

10. The Wizard of Oz (1939) – L. Frank Baum’s book is made into a movie musical starring Judy Garland as Dorothy a Kansas farm girl who is taken with her dog Toto into the enchanted land of Oz where she goes on adventures with a scarecrow, a lion and a tin man.
