Mar 20, 2024 · The Sound of Music (1965) In one of the most classic musical films to date, Julie Andrews plays a governess who wins the hearts of the Von Trapp family in Nazi-era Austria. The result is a beloved ...
- 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' (1975) The cult musical of all musicals, Rocky Horror Picture Show still inspires live renditions in local theaters that recreate the eerie happenings of Dr. Frankenfurter's mansion.
- 'Cabaret' (1972) Liza Minnelli takes center stage in this musical film that put her on the map (it swept up eight Oscars in its day).

While it may not have been advertised as a musical, the adaptation of the Broadway musical adaptation of the 2004 movie Mean Girls certainly contained some bangers. The Gen-Z take on the millennial classic starred Reneé Rappas Regina George in a souped-up version of the story that also highlighted the best songs from the stage show.
Jason Moore's sly, giddily crowd-pleasing teen comedy—a cappella group The Bellas' first appearance—received positive reviews, and was a leggy sleeper hit at the box office. It also proved to be a Hollywood calling card for many members of its young, purely talented cast including Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and Adam DeVine. So-so Pitch Perfect 2 w...
Stunning 3D vistas and toe-tapping earworms are highlights of Disney Studios’ musical comedy adventure film about a Polynesian girl who sets out to save her island from a blight with the help of a demigod. The story is pretty routine, but the audiovisual loveliness is transporting. Nominated for a Best Animated Feature Oscar, losing to the same stu...
Based on a 1988 John Waters comedy and the Broadway sensation it inspired, this blissful family comedy deals with the racial tensions of 1960s Baltimore. The seriously impressive cast includes John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, James Marsden, Amanda Bynes, Christopher Walken, Allison Janney and Zac Efron—but Queen Latifah, who plays record shop owne...
Released 10 months after the death of Walt Disney (this is the final film he produced), The Jungle Book adapted Rudyard Kipling‘s 1894 book with memorable characters and catchy songs. Jon Favreau‘s electrifying 2016 live-action hybrid reimagining remains the high-water mark for Disney remakes, by a margin.
Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II collaborated on many of the most iconic musicals ever made (and penned countless show-tune earworms that are ingrained in pop culture). Their fifth musical (a romance about governess Anna Leonowens and the King of Siam) is one of their most famous, adapted into a sumptuous film starring Yul Brynner (who won ...
Featherweight but also pretty fabulous, this jukebox musical sees an all-star cast including Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth let their hair down in a Greek set family rom-com inspired by the immortal pop of ABBA. The best moment, hands down, is Streep's surprisingly emotional "The Winner Takes It Al...
A marked improvement over the mostly unremarkable 1962 theatrical film starring Rosalind Russell and Natalie Wood, the made-for-TV film—from the show—based on Gypsy Rose Lee's autobiography was a major vehicle for star Bette Midler the same year as Hocus Pocus. Nominated 12 Primetime Emmys including Best Made for Television Movie and Best Lead Actr...
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball in an affably gonzo '70s acid trip. The Who's rock opera makes for wonderfully weird motion picture enlivened with committed performances. Roger Daltrey spearheads a cast including Ann-Margret. Oliver Reed, Elton John, Tina Turner and even Jack Nicholson.
Alan Parker‘s teen drama loosely inspired by A Chorus Line chronicles the lifeand times of students at New York City’s High School of Performing Arts. The picture is perhaps best known for its anthemic, Oscar-nominated title song.
- Cabaret (1972) Like many of the greatest musicals, Cabaret is about show business, but its hands grasp out luridly beyond itself. In Bob Fosse’s sordid, magnetic, exhilarating depiction of a Weimar-era nightclub, the sexy and creepy entertainment onstage serves as a grotesque funhouse reflection of the darkening reality of Germany; the divinely decadent party of the Kit Kat Klub is on the verge of death, and the Nazi party—with its signature goose step, like a kick line gone bad—is waiting in the wings.
- Singin' in the Rain (1952) Is there a better rainy-day movie than this? Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly’s musical comedy about the birth pangs of “talking pictures” is a rush of pure, undiluted joy.
- West Side Story (2021) Film. Musical. Is it blasphemous to suggest the Steven Spielberg remake is better than the beloved 1961 original? It shouldn’t be. After all, it’s Spielberg, who applies every cinematic trick he knows to bring the old story of starred-crossed lovers and sing-fighting street gangs in 1950s New York roaring into the 21st century.
- The Wizard of Oz (1939) She sings wistfully, staring off toward an unseen horizon. Her dog looks too. And in less than three minutes of screen time, the whole of adolescent dreaminess is delivered to your wet eyes.

The movies on this list are ranked according to their success (awards & nominations), their popularity, and their true greatness from a directing/writing standpoint.
