Title: Are you a musical lover?
Post by: Petrie on January 06, 2005, 09:46:50 AM
No, having three song cues in the film, does not make LBT movies musicals.  :lol

I'm sure you all know what musicals are - many songs, ususally one or two major dance numbers that branch off from one of the songs.  That's as simple as they get.

I've followed many of them, and have my list of favorites, and I've found that I often care for the music more than the plot line.  I don't think I've ever enjoyed the plot more than the music.

1.  The Sound of Music
2.  The King and I
3.  The Wizard of Oz (it's major dance scene, The Jitterbug was cut from the film)
4.  Chicago
5.  Oklahoma!
6.  Anything Goes
7.  Grease (Now can you hand jive?)
8.  Newsies
9.  The Music Man
10. Annie
11. Singing in the Rain

I'm bound to see many more.  I'll probably watch a few more we have on tape that I haven't really watched yet - A Chorus Line, and Bye Bye Birdie. ;)

Do they just have to be musicals? The only real musical I liked was "Little Shop of Horrors". Ya know...the massive man-eating plant that bellows rather melodiously "Feed me Seymour!" LOL! Love it!

I feel like such an antagonist in things like this...I seem to like and dislike the opposite to everyone else! PMSL!  :P: I didn't like Grease or West Side Story. Sound of Music I havent really seen much of and don't even go there with the theatre and operas!  <_<

In terms of movies, I love a bit of action! Not macho men with big guns who mindless blow stuff up (there goes my views on Rambo  :P: LOL) but...the kinda stuff that has you on the edge of your seat. Since I find myself and what I do a bit boring...I love to indulge in more exciting things like action flicks and fast-paced video games.  :^.^: So, in light of this, musicals don't float me boat to well!  :x

But that's just me! Im not expecting everyone to be the same! Coz I'd be very stupid and narrow-minded if I did!  :rolleyes:

Action Mystery and fantasy are my favorites. Don't go in  much for sappy love stories, but a edge-of-the-seat thriller will always keep me hooked.
