Parade description: We Ranked the 67 Best Movie Musicals of All Time, From 'West Side Story' to '8 Mile'
If you can't get enough of movie musicals, then get ready for some speaker-blowing brilliance. We've rounded up and ranked the all-time best movie musicals. Ever since inaugural "talkie" The Jazz Singer was released in 1927 (itself not that great a film, sadly), the movie musical has evolved and endured.
For this list of the best film musicals ever made, we're taking into account a picture's overall greatness, how well it's aged, re-watchability and impact on pop culture. In the case of stage-to-screen adaptations, we're judging based solely on the merits of the motion picture, not the source material. We've included classic animated musicals, but this list does not include music documentaries, non-singing dance films, or concert films (that includes Fantasia). To be clear: These are all outstanding, must-see musical films that we recommend everyone see at least once.
