It seems people generally have strong opinions regarding movie musicals. They either LOVE them OR HATE them. I LOVE some movie musicals and HATE others.

The thread rules are simple>>>>>

(1) Post a trailer(or title) of a movie musical you LOVE......OR

(2) Post a trailer(or title) of a movie musical you HATE......OR

(3) Post a trailer(or title) of one movie musical you LOVE AND one that you HATE>>>>>

Just mark which musical movie you LOVE AND/OR HATE.

I LOVE FIDDLER ON THE ROOF.....great story and music>>>>>

YouTube - Fiddler on the Roof Trailer

I HATE SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS.....just found it annoying>>>>>

YouTube - Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954): Trailer HQ

So which movie musicals do you LOVE and which movie musicals do you HATE????? .

My Fair Lady is my favorite. When I was a kid, my mother and I would stay up and watch old movies on TV. Often they were musicals. Good times. Good memories.

LOVE The Sound of Music
LOVE Beauty and the Beast....though that was a movie first, but it's still my favorite! (Kid at heart...what can I say?!)

LIKE The Phantom of the Opera (I'm guessing if I saw it on Broadway vs the movie version it would top my list...but the movie version according to my friend whose seen it on Broadway was disappointing...so it hits my LIKE list.)

DISLIKE Hello Dolly...just not a favorite of mine

Sorry...no movie clips!

I've never been a great fan of musicals ( and loathe most of them) but I love "My Fair Lady" , I know all the words to all the tunes ! I also greatly enjoyed "Mamma Mia" (the film) as an ABBA fan and there was such a sense of pure joy in the movie that I could cope with it being a musical... Just about.
