CBR's 10 Best Movie Musicals That Use All Existing Songs

"Jukebox musicals have been around in movie form since 1942 with the release of 'Yankee Doodle Dandy,' which told the story of well-known Broadway writer George M. Cohan. These musicals are a special form of cinema as they all consist of well-known music from pop culture instead of original music made for the musical. Some of these movies will focus on one artist, such as ABBA or The Pretenders, while others pull in upwards of 60 different artists being covered in one movie. This list focuses on non-biopic jukebox musicals since they belong to their own category of movie, so 'Rocketman' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody' won't be covered." - cbr.com
