An underrated 20th century musical in my opinion is the 1954 film Brigadoon.

@cindygeorge9938 Год назад

You forgot the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Tim curry was awesome in that movie 🍿🍿

The Rocky horror picture show should have earned a mention...

The fact that no one mentioned Seven Briides for Seven Brothers , Holiday Inn or even White Christmas should be a crime, but I am not here to judge. If you have never seen these , you should put them on your must watch list

_West side Story_ is still has sone of the greatest musical numbers in history, an amazing cast in both the original, and the remake, and is still the best version of _Romeo and Juliet_ in my opinion.

@julianaylor4351 Год назад

Have you seen the combined Romeo and Juliet that was done for King Charles the third's Coronation concert...combining a song from West Side Story, the ballet and Shakespeare as well as art school visuals?

@sheilaholmes996 Год назад

Amen!

@ConnorMiller417 Год назад

The Wizard of Oz can never be topped. It’s a family classic and Judy Garland’s performance inspired many young girls to get into the music industry. It’s sad that she will probably be forgotten within the next couple decades because I’m afraid they’ll pull movies from the 20th century off of TV.

@lisam4066 Год назад

In my opinion that would be a disgrace and very sad

Musicals like "Grease" and "The wizard of Oz" are my childhood (specially since those musicals we're once performed at my school) therefore, thanks Ms Mojo and a happy tuesday morning to you as well. Take care and i hope i see you soon for more. God bless you and greetings from Colombia to you as well.

@teresacarosella7624 Год назад

I realize it was a short list, but there are so many musicals that didn't get a mention. Chicago, chorus line, fiddler on the roof, music man, hello dolly, and 7 brides for 7 brothers, just to name a few off the top of my head

@trinaq Год назад

"West Side Story" has the most iconic choreography, I love that the brawl scenes were staged to make it look more like a dance than a full on fight.

@manuelorozco7760 Год назад

That was one thing missing from the remake

Oklahoma! My first introduction to musical theatre, cant beat Gordon Macrae and Shirley Jones.

@patrickfort4467 Год назад

Cabaret and West Side Story are my two favorites, but also consider Holiday Inn - Crosby, Astaire, and Irving Berlin's music. What a combination, including one of the most popular songs of all time, White Christmas.

@cair124 Год назад

Or, for that matter, "White Christmas", which was essentially a remake of Holiday Inn.

@tracysteele7652 Год назад

Where was Oliver and Saturday night fever not even listed in the honourable mentions

An underrated 20th century musical in my opinion is the 1954 film Brigadoon.

@roxy5588 Год назад

That movie is so good. Loved it so much Gene Kelly and Cyd Charise were an amazing duo.

@scvcebc 7 месяцев назад

In an episode of Modern Family, Mitchell and Cameron are arguing about whether Mitchell has enough building skills to put together their adopted daughter's playhouse. Mitchell boasted that he helped build the sets of his college production of Brigadoon and said: "Do you think the village of Brigadoon just magically appeared?"

@mr.decencykeepinitreal6348 Год назад

Both ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and the original ‘West Side Story’ are equally good.

@chazarcola7639 Год назад

OLIVER ( 1968 ) directed by Carol Reed. THE BOYFRIEND ( 1971 ) directed by Ken Russell.

@jeffwatkins352 5 месяцев назад

As a dedicated Ken Russell fan, I'm glad you mention TBF. While I wouldn't class it as one of the 10 best, I still love it. Interestingly, and I'm sure not by accident, it includes two of the SITR numbers. Ken was a wonderfully wicked lad, he was!

@julianaylor4351 Год назад

Cabaret is based on a Christopher Isherwood novel, plus may I recommend looking at Weimar Republic art in an art gallery, which the director used as inspiration, giving the style he wanted for the visuals to the costume and set designers.

Singin' in the Rain is the GREATEST musical film PLAIN and SIMPLE! Nothing holds a candle to that masterpiece.

@ILJ68 Год назад

One of my all time favourites not even mentioned. Hair! (1979) dir. Miloš Foreman. A truly powerful story was created from a stage musical without a liner plot line. Iconic numbers Aquarius, Hair! Let the Sunshine In, Easy to be Hard, I Got Life. All set during the Vietnam War in the late 60’s. Magical performances by John Savage, Beverley D’Angelo and Treat Williams. Wonderful choreography by Twyla Tharp. Just wonderful.

@Omar-wq9dz Год назад

I’ve always had a soft spot for musicals for some reason. I guess because I can’t sing and dance, so I gravitate towards them

Some underrated 20th century musicals I really like are You Were Never Lovelier with Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth, and Romance On The High Seas with Doris Day

@paulhuggard3162 Год назад

The fact that Oliver! is never mentioned in these lists astounds me. The movie is just as good as the phonomenal stage musical moving around scenes to great effect. I still believe it is the best movie musical and musical in general alongside Sound of Music and it is a crime not to mention it on this list.

@97anluwagi62 Год назад

I love all these movies! However, was "Oliver!" not considered? It won Oscar Best Picture. Also Little Shop of Horrors.

The Whiz and The Rocky Horror Picture Show are among my favorites. Evita, Chicago and Moulin Rouge get high marks.

Met Me In St Louis features Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. Four honourable mentions Top Hat, On The Town, High Society and South Pacific.

Mary Poppins was my first live action movie musical! I also love Grease. Sound of Music is semi holiday viewing tradition

@kylejohnson6867 Год назад

Wow, I admire the effort taken to create a list of the 10 best of anything. Most of the effort unfortunately will be second guessed or analyzed until the joy is gone, but I hope not. I enjoy the work your channel creates for its viewers, thank you. (Now here comes that second guessing I was talking about). No love for “My Fair Lady,” it couldn’t be because of the dubbed voice work because Debbie Reynolds’ singing was dubbed for “Singing In the Rain.” Just wondered by it didn’t make the cut.

@rjleslee Год назад

South Pacific! So exotic n enchanting shld be on the list.

@tealbingy5450 Год назад

Thanks for including The Bandwagon. Storywise, it's not the best, but the musical numbers are wonderful! I'd put it higher than you did. Others deserving of notice "Annie Get Your Gun", "Hello Dolly", "Cover Girl", and "It's Always Fair Weather". And Annie for using Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan.

@coltonwayne3226 Год назад

The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins👍but I would have added Victor/Victoria and White Christmas.

@dramac333 Год назад

Interestingly, two of your choices featured Oscar Levant, whom Sean Hayes won a Tony Award for playing in "Goodnight, Oscar". Both films take advantage of Levant's amazing piano talents, as the stage play takes advantage of Hayes' own piano talent.

Disappointed other 20th century musical films like My Fair Lady, Fiddler on the Roof and Little Shop of Horrors didn’t make the list or honorable mentions. By the way, I’m planning to do a graphic novel which will be a legacy sequel to Little Shop of Horrors in the future.

@williamfairchild7439 Год назад

My favourite classic movie musical is The Sound of Music

@blossom114 Год назад

The second I saw the video posted I KNEW #1 was going to be Singing in the Rain. My personal favorite movie is Meet Me In St Louis...but I knew the #1 would have to be SITR. Was in a stage production of it 18 years ago and ... it was something else. In the good way.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Yentl, Fiddler on the Roof, Oliver!, My Fair Lady

@tigerlily0719 Год назад

You omitted one of the best ever. 7 Brides For 7 Brothers showcases Howard Keel's operatic range like no other. Jayne Powell's performance is not equaled and it was the first movie that put Russ Tamblyn on the map. I normally agree with most of mojo's choices, but not this time.

@kennethferrari5232 Год назад

Two With Love and Little Shop Of Horrors are my favorites.

@lizzieallen2284 Год назад

It doesn't get better than Singin' in the Rain so good to see it at No 1 but I have always had a soft spot for The Pajama Game starring the great Doris Day
