Fame

Cabaret!

I love Liza!

The Sound of Music

Yikes! Just one movie?

"West Side Story"

"Singing in the Rain"

And for pure fun, it's hard to beat "Grease."

Yeah, I thought about that one, too. Wait 'till they do Hairspray!

mine is "Oklahoma" but that's all because of my mom... since birth, I've been raised on songs from it

The Sound of Music!!!!!!!!! There was a time in my life when I would watch it every day (I was like 5 or so then)

I don't think it's a movie... but Tommy is really REALLY good.

Other than that:
West Side Story
Chicago
and of course, Grease

I think you're right. It started out as a "Rock Opera," then was done on stage, but I don't remember a movie.

Chicago is another obvious great one.

ETA Speaking of Rock Operas and movies, there's Jesus Christ, Superstar -- which occurred to me because our daughter opens in it tonight at a local theatre company. Her husband is directing.

The Sound of Music

I forgot Sweet Charity... funny musical.

West Side Story
Hairspray
the Rocky Horror Picture Show

I love The Rocky Horror Picture Show!

You'll love this little bit of trivia, then: when Shirley Jones was taking acting lessons at the Pittsburgh Playhouse, she lived in the Alpha Delta Pi house - and there are several photos of her to prove it!


I like the South of Music, too, but I also liked A Chorus Line and a lot of the others mentioned. Not a fan of Grease, because it's better onstage.
