Movie Musical Poll

[Richard B]

I can only post 10 choices, so I rounded up some of the biggies. So vote away...I'm curious.

This is my very fist (and probably last poll) I've ever done.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Do you have a cigarette darling? I'M DESPERATE!!!!

:D

[dissention]

I'll have to ponder this for a few minutes, dear. If Rocky Horror was on there, it would have gotten my vote in an instant, but I'm torn on a couple of the choices.

what did you decide on?

[sparky]

Since I hate musicals, this was easy. Moulin Rouge. It had a tremendous impact on me. I was an idiot, and completely in love when I saw it. I sobbed like a jackass. The idea of using modern pop music to infuse a dead genre with life is one I like. Way to go Baz. And Catharine Martin is genius.

Cabaret was fun....the others, whatever.

[Richard B]

I thought about Rocky Horror...but it got bumped.

I must say for me, Little Shop of Horros, rocks my vote. I can't get enough of it.

Down on skidrow...

[strandinthewind]

I chose The Sound of Music - perhaps because I habe been called the Baroness " Darling, haven't you ever heard of a delightful little thing called boarding school?" Ebberfeld on more than one occasion :laugh:

Seriously, the music was fab., Julie Andrews was fab., and who the hell has a dry eye when the big nun BELTS out Climb Every Mountain :laugh: Speaking of which there used to be this HUGE drag queen here (Fajita Marinara I think) who did and interesting, but killer rendition of this - it involved props :eek: and that is all I am saying :laugh:

Also, Grease was great and just so happy.

Rocky comes in as great as well.

[dissention]

what did you decide on?

Nothing yet. I'm leaning towards Little Shop of Horrors based on creativity alone and because it cracked me up.

I love Moulin Rouge, but it loses points for not having a whole lot of original music and because I f*cking hate Ewan McGregor's oversinging.

[BTFLCHLD]

tommy receives my vote :wavey:

[Neal]

It's the only one on the list that I can even bear to watch.

[strandinthewind]

tommy receives my vote :wavey:

I LOVED Tommy :nod: - Ann Marg. deserved an award for that - thought playing a lush sexpot was not to method for her :laugh: Tina T. - though - STOLE that show hands down :eek:

Actually, I really like them all a temendous amount with the exception of Little Shop of Horrors, which I thought was just okay.

I had to chose between Moulin Rouge and Cabaret but I decided on Cabaret just because it's a damn good movie/musical...and Liza just BECAME her character...not to mention the amazing director that was Bob Fosse!

I loved Ewan's singing btw. I can understand what you mean by oversinging...still he has got a great voice on him.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

My girlfriend and you would get along SOOOO WELL! She is a HUGE Ann-Margret fan!

[strandinthewind]

All that camera play drove me nuts and IMO took away from the talent of the Zeta Jones and cast. It was too jumpy and distracting. Also, I am not a huge fan of Fosse, though he had oodles of talent. In the end, I like the movie despite that distraction.

[dissention]

Tina T. - though - STOLE that show hands down :eek:


That shot of the camera panning up her legs as Acid Queen starts is one of the best things ever captured on film. Words cannot describe it.

If Chicago would have been made in the 1970's like it was supposed to and Bob Fosse could have actually directed it...it would have been SUPREME!

I believe that had it where Liza and Ann-Margret would star. If only...

[Brwn_eyes0511]

BTW...

Where the freakin' hell is Meet Me In St. Louis or A Star Is Born (1954 version)? :)

[dissention]

He sounds constipated. It drives me nuts. But the movie itself is so bombastic and orgasmic that I'm going to vote for it. Plus, it has Jim Broadbent singing "Like A Virgin." He rocks, bitches.

If your child ain’t all he should be now
This girl will put him right
I’ll show him what he could be now
Just give me one night

I’m the gypsy, the acid queen
Pay me before I start
I’m the gypsy and I’m guaranteed
To mend his aching heart

Give us a room, close the door
Leave us for a while
You won’t be a boy no more
Young, but not a child

I’m the gypsy, the acid queen
Pay me before I start
I’m the gypsy, I’m guaranteed
To tear your soul apart

Gather your wits and hold them fast
Your mind must learn to roam
Just as the gypsy queen must do
You’re gonna hit the road

My work’s been done, now look at him
He’s never been more alive
His head it shakes, his fingers clutch
Watch his body writhe

I’m the gypsy, the acid queen
Pay me before I start
I’m the gypsy, I’m guaranteed
To break your little heart

If your child ain’t all he should be now
This girl will put him right
I’ll show him what he could be now
Just give me one more night

I’m the gypsy, the acid queen
Pay me before I start
I’m the gypsy, I’m guaranteed
To tear your soul apart

[GypsySorcerer]

Moulin Rouge gets my vote. Kidman's portrayal of Satine is one of my favorite performances ever. I do like many of the others, though, notably Cabaret, Chicago and Grease.

[Richard B]

BTW...

Where the freakin' hell is Meet Me In St. Louis or A Star Is Born (1954 version)? :)
I LOVE Meet Me In St. Louis too!! I thought about both of them, but the darn poll only let me include 10. I tried to grab a large time frame.

[Serrart]

Among those Cabaret (Bob Fosse :angel: ), but my favourite is probably All That Jazz, followed by Rocky Horror Picture Show, On connait La chanson, High Society, Shall We Dance, Meet Me in Saint Louis, The Band Wagon, and so on.

Romy

[Brwn_eyes0511]

You are, too, Don't lie. ;)

I actually do like Ann-Margret. I actually, thanks to my gf, have had the chance to meet her...she is super nice!

However when people do bring up the Cilla vs. A-M war...Cilla always gets my vote! :D

gets to me everytime damn it!

I'm partial to the "Roxanne" number. Every time I see it, it truly amazes me. Nicole's entrance to "Sparkling Diamonds/Material Girl" is pretty marvelous as well, I think she has such a lovely voice. And, of course, "One Day I'll Fly Away" is awesome.

Preach it. "Roxanne" is probably the most well-done scene in the entire movie. Extremely effective.

Audrey II: [singing] Would you like a Cadillac car? / Or a guest shot on Jack Paar? / How about a date with Hedy Lamarr? / You can get it.
Audrey II: [singing] I got killer buds / A power stem / Nasty pods / And I'm using them! / So better move 'em out / Nature calls / You got my pun? / I'm gonna bust your balls!

[Serrart]

Preach it. "Roxanne" is probably the most well-done scene in the entire movie. Extremely effective.

There's a new chinese musical called Perhaps Love (jealousy, tango, lonely angry man singing among the elements) where they pratically copied it, but it works well also in their version

Interesting. I am going to have to pop in the DVD tonight after this discussion. :laugh:

[strandinthewind]

I also have to saw Phantom was very well done and ER's voice without flaw - though Minnie Driver stole every scene she was in and that wig needed a crane to put on :laugh:

Also, had Lupone done Evita - well words cannot really describe how wondersful she would have been in it.

[GypsySorcerer]

The movie was great and the augmentation to the score was brilliant - the key of C for Esther was a little much though she did a great job with what little voice she had/has. In the end, I give it a B+.

It was entertaining, but Schumacher is such a hack and I thought a lot of the music was cloying after awhile.

I recently read an interview with Josh Lucas (read: HOT) and he said Emmy Rossum was the bitchiest, most evil person he's worked with. :laugh:

Years ago I had a tape of an entire Broadway production with her in it. Sadly, I have no clue where it is.

I give her major props for pulling the vocals off as well as she did. Pryce did a fine job, but Banderas was just eh.

[strandinthewind]

[JazmenFlowers]

if only Sarah Brightman played the role she created - although I wonder if even she could hit the notes the way she used to...

A Call From the Vatican from Krakowski was my particular favorite. HOT HOT HOT.

Wizard of Oz...

This was tough, I like almost all of them. I had to go with my sentimental favorite The Wizard Of Oz, but it's really a tie between that and Cabaret, which I also love.

Rocky Horror, Little Shop, Moulin Rouge, Sound of Music and Grease are also high on my list.

BTW, I voted for Wizard of Oz, like that surprises anyone who knows me (Hello? WICKED!!!)

But really, I am such a fan of the musicals, I don't have a favorite.

Here are some that are great films that no one ever considers in the musical catagory, but are:

The Blues Brothers

and

South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut

Thankgod I'm not the only one. I never saw the appeal in Grease, it's horrendous. I did like Zeta-Jones' opening number in Chicago, but you know how I feel about Zellwegger. Pug face totally ruined any chance of me liking that movie.

What do you think The Rocky Horror Picture Show is? "The Time Warp," "You're A Hot Dog," "Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me," "Dammit Janet," "The Floor Show," "Hot Patootie," etc. I mean, c'mon! :laugh: Those are campy, fun, hysterical numbers that get me clapping and dancing.

True - but they are not the good clean happy fun - girl in love with a guy kind of thing like Grease.

Note - I LOVE Rocky Horror and have done the whole stage acting out in front of the movie thing - I was, of course, Rocky - though I did others as well, including Janet and Magenta :eek: Hey, it was college and I was stoned :laugh:

I've been Brad, Magenta, Columbia, and *gulp* Betty Hapschatt. :laugh: I used to do it all the time when I was in college, it was a blast. The theater would show all the old trailers for Deep Throat, Pink Flamingos, etc.

That must have been fun. I did my Rocky Horror midnight mass homage years ago. I'm not that big of a fan of it actually....reminds me of all the awful Warhol films. But it was fun being at the show. A huge food fight broke out, which was unexpected but rather fun.
