I know, bloody unbelievable. Can you imagine though, getting to the top and realising what you have accomplished. I couldn't look at Boulders Point, felt sick for him!!

I just tried to watch West Side Story on Netflix. I managed 15 mins before giving up. I tried FFWD to see if there was actually any dialogue and there is, but I can't be arsed with it now. The dancing instead of fighting and the finger clicking was beyond irritating.

Err - that's because its a bloody musical.
It's like watching the greatest story ever told and moaning it was a bit religious.

Musicals are incredibly easy to rank, shortest = best.

And there wasn't any songs in the first 15 mins either. I'm a big fan of musicals. I just got irritated by this one.
The first full 5 mins for example is just a static picture with some lines on and some background music. Appalling.

Muppets Christmas Carol isn't a musical imo. However, yes, agree, all musicals are shite. I even turn off the singing simpsons episodes.

Once More With Feeling (The Buffy episode) is one of my favourites.
Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog is also excellent (and another by Joss Whedon).
Those two have the advantage of only being around 45mins long.
Grease
Singing In The Rain
Little Shop Of Horrors
Moulin Rouge
Dream Girls
Various Disney ones
Oh and Rocketman more recently was decent.
A mate of mine loves The Greatest Showman but I've not gotten round to that one yet.

Amen brother!
Musically they aren't as good as general music releases as they have to try and bend to some sort of content relating to the story and as an overall film/play the story doesn't flow as well because they keep shoehorning song/dance routines into inappropriate situations.

Greatest showman is awesome. I love Chicago on stage, it’s excellent.
