- DirectorAshutosh GowarikerStarsAamir KhanRaghubir YadavGracy SinghThe people of a small village in Victorian India stake their future on a game of cricket against their ruthless British rulers.For me, the best musical ever made! Not only is it filled with incredible songs and dance numbers, it's about as inspirational a film as I've ever seen as a group of villagers challenge the British to a game of cricket!
- DirectorMichael GraceyStarsHugh JackmanMichelle WilliamsZac EfronCelebrates the birth of show business and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.Again, a movie that is filled with tremendous songs and dance sequences, but also a film that begs its viewers to love and appreciate who you are! And to also never stop imagining and fulfill your dreams!
- DirectorVincente MinnelliStarsGene KellyLeslie CaronOscar LevantThree friends struggle to find work in Paris. Things become more complicated when two of them fall in love with the same woman.Gene Kelly was a master at directing, writing, choreography, dancing, and singing. In short, he did it all! And this musical has one of the best dance sequences at the end! Always a joy to watch!
- DirectorRobert WiseStarsJulie AndrewsChristopher PlummerEleanor ParkerA young novice is sent by her convent in 1930s Austria to become a governess to the seven children of a widowed naval officer.Julie Andrews captivated the world with her stellar performance as a nun turned governess set in the beautiful town of Salzburg, Austria. Again, not a bad song in the bunch, and inspirational as she brings joy to her adopted family as they seek to escape the Nazis.
- DirectorStanley DonenStarsJane PowellHoward KeelJeff RichardsWhen a backwoodsman in 1850s Oregon brings a wife home to his farm, his six brothers decide that they want to get married too.Some of the most innovative dance sequences ever put to film about seven mountain-dwelling brothers who decide that they all want to get married! Also has great songs as well!
- DirectorWalter LangStarsJeanne CrainDana AndrewsDick HaymesEach member of the Frake clan has his/her own reason for attending the annual Iowa State Fair.Brother and sister find themselves at the Iowa State Fair, hoping to find love! Another musical with fantastic songs! Not much dancing, but that's all right!
- DirectorStanley DonenGene KellyStarsGene KellyDonald O'ConnorDebbie ReynoldsA silent film star falls for a chorus girl just as he and his delusionally jealous screen partner are trying to make the difficult transition to talking pictures in 1920s Hollywood.Another Gene Kelly classic with great songs and dance numbers, including his iconic number "Singin' in the Rain" which he somehow filmed when he was terribly ill with fever!
- DirectorAdam ShankmanStarsJulianne HoughDiego BonetaTom CruiseA small-town girl and a city boy meet on the Sunset Strip while pursuing their Hollywood dreams.As a product of the 80s, this is my guilty pleasure musical! It's got all of my favorite songs, and Tom Cruise steals the movie with his performance--and 5-octave range--as hard rocker, Stacee Jaxx! Even the members of Def Leppard were mesmerized by his rendition of "Pour Some Sugar On Me."
- DirectorGeorge CukorStarsAudrey HepburnRex HarrisonStanley HollowayIn 1910s London, snobbish phonetics professor Henry Higgins agrees to a wager that he can make crude flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, presentable in high society.The only downside about this classic movie is that Audrey Hepburn's voice was dubbed. Still, the story, dance sequences, and songs are all first-rate!
- DirectorRohan SippyStarsAishwarya Rai BachchanAbhishek BachchanSatish ShahA man is coerced by his uncle to get married and assigns this task to his secretary. However the man falls for the secretary herself, who has a dark past.Delightful Bollywood film about an Indian man who never wants to get married--until he meets a woman who warms his heart! Fantastic song and dance numbers throughout!
