Hi dodoy,

Yes I like musicals, I am not sure which is my favourite. I like the ones you do, I also like "The King and I" and "Carousel", there are so many to choose from.

Aloha dodoy,

Welcome Aboard! A good question I might add...Well, I come to think about three films which are tied for first place as my favorites:

*I'm Singing In The Rain*
*An American In Paris*
*The Sound Of Music*

[rovikered]

I don't do films.

Hi Dodoy
I notice you sneaked in a crafty advertisement under cover of your innocent sounding question! Naughty! But since you ask, I too like the Sound of Music, I love Richard Rodgers' tunes and I adore Julie Andrews' singing voice, even if her acting isn't up to much!

How about a very old one: Meet Me in St Louis? I just adore it. Judy Garland, trolley cars, great songs, snow people, a degree of silliness and the opportunity for a really good cry towards the end. Who could ask for more?

Cheers

Vicki

Yes, that's a good one Vicki. And who can forget "The wizard of OZ"?

Ah, The Wizard of Oz. I think one of the most magical moments in film is when Dorothy wakes up from black and white Kansas and finds herself in full colour Oz.

West Side Story
My Fair Lady
Mary Poppins/Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (still hum those tunes)
The Sound of Music
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Phantom of the Opera
Chicago

And a whole lot more... or should I say, "And All That Jazz?"

Vicki -thanks for reminding us of that magical moment - truly imaginative use of the medium of film. It must have had an enormous impact on the first audiences who saw it.

I remember once hearing Andrew Lloyd Weber being interviewed and saying that his father was an admirer of Richard Rodgers and told the young Andrew that when he had written a song as good as "Some enchanted evening" he could consider himself a composer of musicals. Perhaps one day he will ........ John

In no particular order - All equal favorites

Paint Your Wagon
State Fair
The Sound of Music
Phantom of the Opera
Mary Poppins

And there are more ...

the sound of music...........

But what popped into my mind (shh - it's early here), was a film I first saw in New York in 1939. It was also my first introduction (that I can remember) to classical music. Fantasia.
