The 10 best film musicals
Telegraph film critic David Gritten recently offered his list, which I found via ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
movie_greats. He had one or two good choices on there, and a lot of terrible ones, and omitted a few essential ones. So I'm setting this right by making my own list. (Not that he'll ever see it, but I'll feel better.)
I'm trying to be as objective as possible, so some of my favorites (like The Court Jester) got left out, in favor of some that are, objectively speaking, greater musical achievements (like West Side Story). The top three do happen to be my top three favorite musical films, though.
Anyone else want to try their hand at a top 10 film musicals list?
