Movie Musical Poll
 

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.

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

:D

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?

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.

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...

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.

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.

tommy receives my vote :wavey:

Chicago
 

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

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.

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

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.

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.
