I have it on DVD I think.
Never watched it fully.
Didn't think it was a musical though?

I generally can't stand them but for a musical, moulin rouge was quite enjoyable.

24 hour party people is excellent

Spinal tap is one of the funniest movies ever, never mind just the 10th best musical or whatever

'A Mighty Wind' is pretty good too, from the same stable as Tap. If they count, 'Shine' should be up there.

As for real musicals, I always thought 'My Fair Lady' was good, but then I had a thing for Audrey Hepburn but my fav would be 'Little Shop of Horrors', brilliant turn by Steve Martin as a Sadistic dentist.

Hate musicals with a passion meself. Maybe I was traumatised from an early age being brought up on a diet of The Sound of Music and Grease....

BTW, 12th man, for God's sake add a 'u' to 'Favorite'.

my own personal choices would include blues brothers & school of rock.

oh of course also "the sound of music"

The Commitments anyone?

Rude Boy with The Clash while being possibly one of the worst films in the sense of acting, storyline and all that carry on has probably the best live footage of any band ever.

**the 12 th man** · 15/04/2004, 8:33 AM

i suppose age groups comes into it.

like moulin rouge or wizard of oz compared to 24 hr party people or the clash film would imo appeal to completely different generations.

The rolling stones made a feature film. All the live footage was taken from their tour of ireland in 1965 when they plaed Dublin, Cork and Belfast. In Dublin the crowd invaded the stage and somebody grabbed the mic off Mick Jagger.

You dont get bands like that coming to cork now...... pity.
