Yes, and it really is very good. Daniel Day Lewis, Penelope Cruz and Sofia Loren all have great singing voices. Definately recommended

Horrible box office in the States, horrible reviews, horrible movie.

I saw it once and have no desire to see it again.

Hard to pick one favorite so my short list is..

My Fair Lady - Rex Harrison
Threepenny Opera (Mac the Kife) - Raul Julia
Camelot - Richard Harris
Finians Rainbow- Fred Astaire
How to Succeed in Business - Robert Morse
Chicago - Renee Zellwigger
Gypsy - Roz Russell
The Band Wagon - Fred Astaire

Kiss me Kate, Camelot and How To Succeed In Business all have truly magnificent songs in them. Ann Millar steals the show in Kiss Me Kate, her legs are amazing and I think she had them insured for millions of dollars at the time, I also think she held the record for the fastest tap dancer too. She does an amazing dance routine too the song 'It's too darn hot'. Its got to be seen to be believed

if you liked the film you should check out the DVD of the original stage production which is far superior starring george hearn and angela lansbury. the film was good but didnt quite capture the brilliance of the show as a whole.

Does Sister Act count?

**vaughnleland** · 07-27-2012, 01:27 PM

not the film..but they did a stage musical for broadway last season.

I'm not really into watching stage productions,I only watched the movie because Jonny Depp was in it.

**vaughnleland** · 07-27-2012, 04:29 PM

trust me its brilliant. and its a professionally done dvd its not a bootleg. hearn and lansbury are the epitome of these roles. and the film is missing a good 7 songs from the award winning score.

**neighboursfan** · 07-28-2012, 03:37 PM

Nope sorry you've still not convinced me to watch it,as I said I only watched the movie because Jonny Depp was in it.I usually avoid watching any movie that's a musical as I'm not into that type of movie.For me that was just a one off.

**Maria - Noele Gordon Fan** · 07-28-2012, 06:41 PM

My favourite is West Side Story.

Others I like in no particular order are : Sound Of Music, The King & I, Grease and Gypsy.

**Scarlett** · 07-28-2012, 07:59 PM

I saw King and I performed live last year and I did not like it...I fell asleep.

**Maria - Noele Gordon Fan** · 07-29-2012, 08:04 PM

I was thinking of the film, Scarlett.

**E.J. Andre** · 07-29-2012, 11:48 PM

This Is Spinal Tap. On the short list of great comedies. Funniest rock film ever ('mockumentary,' if you prefer). Grease, A Hard Day's Night, Wizard of Oz.

**Scarlett** · 07-31-2012, 03:23 AM

Wizard of Oz is one of the best musical films ever....period!

**i love jr ewing** · 07-31-2012, 04:33 AM

My favorite musical films are The Sound OF Music and Annie.

Sorry to quote myself, but....

I am now watching a live concert of The Wizard of Oz, courtesy of my Inner Library Loan Program, and the TNT Network that produced the program in the 90s. It's a benefit concert for the Children's Defense Fund. Jewel is Dorothy, Natalie Cole is Glinda the Good, Debra Winger is Wicked Witch of the West, Nathan Lane is the Cowardly Lion, the Harlem Boys Choir are the Munchkins, one of the boys is Toto.
