Movie musical meme

[litlover12]

Swiped this from a thread at Broadway World: What are your top ten performances in a musical film?

Here are mine:

1. Gene Kelly, Singin' in the Rain
2. Rex Harrison, My Fair Lady
3. Donald O’Connor, Singin' in the Rain
4. William Daniels, 1776
5. Audrey Hepburn, My Fair Lady
6. Danny Kaye, The Court Jester
7. Julie Andrews, The Sound of Music
8. Debbie Reynolds, Singin' in the Rain
9. Maurice Chevalier, Gigi
10. Carol Burnett, Annie

Honorable mention to Fred Astaire and Judy Garland for their entire bodies of work. I couldn't come up with just one favorite performance for either of them.

And a short list of favorite non-singing/non-dancing performances in a movie musical: Jean Hagen in Singin' in the Rain, Eve Arden in Cover Girl, and Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore in Top Hat.
