We have exactly two months until the Sept 17th deadline to submit ballots for the upcoming MoFo Top 100 Musical Countdown. I want MoFos to give me 1-3 of your top musicals that will make your ballot. If I watch them and love them, they will make my ballot and get more points. The more points a musical gets the better chance it has of making the countdown. I need to seriously start watching musicals, so hit me up!
The deadline for the Top Musicals list is coming up! Submit your ballot now, or read about it here
Get me to watch your top musicals, but no promises
Sure I've seen a lot of musicals but so long ago that if I don't rewatch them they won't make my ballot. So give me some of your top musicals and I'll try to watch them, but like the title says no promises

Oops! Forgot that important piece of info. The Judy Garland one. I think in the 50s maybe.

From the list I sent via dms a while ago, I think these are the only two you haven't seen:
Dancer in the Dark
Hellzapoppin'
Not sure how much you'd like Dancer in the Dark, but I could see you enjoying Hellzapoppin'.

4 I couldn't miss:
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg 1964
Beautiful colours. Engaging and iconic characters and story.
Every word of dialogue sung.
The Wizard of Oz 1939
An outright marvel at the time, it must have seemed like some kind of magic.
The Sound of Music 1965
Beauiful, charming, and ultimately quite thrilling
La La Land 2016
It will sweep you up and capture your heart.
Special mention to Cabaret (1972), which follows some charming relationships and also gives some historical insight/perspective into a vital time in Europe's history.

The Pirate (1948, Vincente Minnelli) - Such a fun and underrated Gene Kelly and Judy Garland picture. Beautiful technicolor and sooo fast paced with some amazing song numbers such as "Nina," "Mack the Black" and "Be a Clown" with the Nicholas Brothers. Everyone loves Singin' in the Rain and American in Paris... rightfully so and both also make my list too, but The Pirate is sooo undervalued when it comes to Gene Kelly films. It's a silly farce and really shouldn't work because the storyline is absurd BUT Minnelli AND Kelly AND Garland play it for laughs... not as a comedy laughs, but more like a satire and wink of the eye that they are having fun with such silly material. It's pure escapism and I think this is the most athletic and over the top I've ever seen Gene Kelly. Oh and his Pirate Ballet is something to behold. No idea, why this film is all but forgotten.
The Smiling Lieutenant (1931, Ernst Lubitsch) - Really enjoy the cleverness of this Lubitsch film and it works also as a satire; a satire on relationships, courtships, and social status. The Breakfast Table Love song is hilarious and great fun, and often is overlooked in favor of the Jazz Up Your Lingerie number.
All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989, Don Bluth) - I have always admired Disney films and the classic era of Disney animation is second to none in terms of beauty and style and songs. Writing and emotional wallop however go to Don Bluth. This is something of a transposing of the A Guy Named Joe story... but with anthropomorphic dogs. The film also leaves me an emotional mess - I mean duh, the acceptance of the inevitability of the death of man's best friends and how we have to cope with that. Oh and it's a great story and hilarious characters too with themes not quite seen in Disney films and much harder edged. I remember how popular this film was when I was a kid. Of course it was overshadowed by Disney's The Little Mermaid which also came out in 1989, but I think this is the better film. And as popular as it was for little kids at the time, I was seven, I think today it's a bit of an unknown or cult classic... certainly anyone between the ages of 40-50 will be very familiar with it, but for anyone under 30, I imagine it's an unknown. As far as I can tell, we can nominate animated films for the list... so this is the one animated film I'm nominating in hopes of it making the list.

It's probably too weird for you, but I really liked Stingray Sam. It's from the same director and is very similar to The American Astronaut, but I didn't think it was quite as weird. It's only about an hour long and is on YouTube.

Thanks MV, I seen your review of Stingray Sam and that you liked it...it kinda sounded cool so I'll watch it. I might even rewatch The American Astronaut as I love that opening number.
