Movie Musicals - fyre - 01-31-2009
I can't be the only one who likes musicals, right? So recommend some, please.
Re: Movie Musicals - Chooly - 01-31-2009
Cannibal: The Musical.
I haven't seen much other than clips but I heard great things
Re: Movie Musicals - WTF Joel - 01-31-2009
I hear Evil Dead the Musical was good, though that was a play :\
Re: Movie Musicals - Scary Womanizing Pig Mask - 01-31-2009
Off the top of my head, The Little Shop of Horrors movie is pretty great, as is the movie version of Hedwig. Legally Blonde the Musical is well worth watching (and my personal favorite musical, along with the aforementioned two) as well. (You can check out a free licensed video of it here.)

Plays don't count unless there is a DVD of the performance.

On a similar note (geddit?), South Park and Team America are the two best musicals ever made.
Actually, I lied: Aladdin.

Disney needs to drop the crappy 3D movies (not disney/pixar) and start doing some awesome cartoon musicals. Recently saw mulan again, just great.

I'm not into musicals at all... I prefer some real theatre...

Not everyone lives in a major metropolitan area, unfortunately.

Seen 'em.
I think later I'll post what I've seen, and maybe micro-reviews.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along blog. Site blocks non-US IP's, so torrent it if you're out of the country. Seriously worth the 40 minutes.

Saw it last summer when it was released, watched it again last month, and ordered the dvd last week. Neil Patrick Harris is incredible. He is great on the Assassins 2004 soundtrack, I wish there was a DVD of that performance.
Re: Movie Musicals - fyre - 01-31-2009
My list of musicals (in no particular order), just in case anyone else is looking for something to watch...
It's been a while since I've seen some of these, so my recollections might be a bit off.
Sweeney Todd: Very good, not great. The actors all do a very capable job considering they aren't trained singers, and Sondheim's songs are great. It's very Tim Burton, which could be a good or a bad thing depending on how you feel about him.
Hairspray: Surprisingly good fun, especially considering how wholesome it is.
Dr. Horrible: AWESOME.
Moulin Rouge: Pretty good. Cool songs. Would have been much better without the ADD editing.
8 Women: Excellent, but probably not for everyone.
West Side Story: Classic must-watch. It's got same lame bits and some dated elements, but also some really great numbers.
Rocky Horror Picture Show: Everyone's seen it. If you haven't, you're gay. No really.
Across the Universe: Attractive, talented people singing Beatles songs. I loved it.
The Producers: Great. Yes, it's technically a remake of the classic non-musical Producers, but it totally stands on it own. Uma Thurman is hawt. The whole movie is fuckin' hilarious. I'd recommend it even if you're not really a musical fan. Anyone can appreciate a song called Springtime for Hitler.
...more later maybe. Or not.

In that case, you'll really like Hedwig, very similar campy style.

Yes.
Re: Movie Musicals - Riosan - 01-31-2009
I feel the need to mention The Wall and Interstella 5555.
Neither are musicals in the original sense, but technically "musical movies".
