It seems every time someone asks the question “What’s your favorite? (fill in the blank) that’s what happens to me…BLANK. So, I decided to prep for the next occasion. Here’s the American Film Institute’s list of the Top 5 Musicals of All time! West Side Story and Cabaret have already made the list on my Songbird Oscar Winners post. I think I got this!
Can you name yours? Let’s share.
| # | FILM | YEAR | STUDIO |
| 1 | SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN | 1952 | MGM |
| 2 | WEST SIDE STORY | 1961 | United Artists |
| 3 | WIZARD OF OZ, THE | 1939 | MGM |
| 4 | SOUND OF MUSIC, THE | 1965 | Twentieth Century-Fox |
| 5 | CABARET | 1972 | Allied Artists |
Some of my favorite quotes from the films!
Lina: [with a voice to peel paint] And I cayn’t stand’im. Holy crap! This line makes the movie for me!!
[singing]
Bernardo: ” I’d like to go back to San Juan.”
Anita: “I know a boat you can get on!”
Ha! You do you, cause I’m gonna do me!
Cowardly Lion: ” Alright I’ll go in there for Dorothy. Wicked Witch or no Wicked Witch, guards or no guards, I’ll tear them apart. I may not come out alive, but I’m going in there. There’s only one thing I want you fellows to do.”
Tin Woodsman, Scarecrow: “What’s that?”
Cowardly Lion: “Talk me out of it!”
Oh Lion – you just gotta love him!
Maria: “When the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.”
Without a doubt! Amen!
Sally: ” I’m going to be a great film star! That is, if booze and sex don’t get me first.”
Quote is dead on. What’s up Ms Liza?
