I was 14 when this movie was released and I probably love it even more today than I did then.

[debm55]

50. Thank you .

[KitFox]

65. First song that came to mind. I love it and tears

26. The Bandwagon. Greatest musical ever!

Best song - Triplets.

[debm55]

[nuxvomica]

44. When I was a kid, we only had two LPs in the house

One was a compilation of pop tunes that my father got by sending in Lucky Strike coupons but the other was "Danny Kaye Live at the Sands", which included Kaye's rendition of "Triplets" and we kids pretty much memorized it.

[Lunabell]

28. So many, but Camelot.

"If Ever I Would Leave You" gives me chills.

"Do You Hear the People Sing?" has a certain resonance to me lately. (I am also fond of "Master of the House" in all it variations!)

Never saw the movie. I think I liked all the songs but picked this one because Jean Valjean is my favorite character).

[surfered]

58. Evita - Rainbow High. Good music, incredible lyric

Eyes, hair, mouth, figure
Dress, voice, style, movement
Hands, magic, rings, glamour
Face, diamonds, excitement, image

I came from the people, they need to adore me
So Christian Dior me from my head to my toes

I’m their product, it’s vital you sell me
So Machiavelli me, make an Argentine rise
I need to be thrilling, I need to be rainbow high
They need their escape, and so do I

[debm55]

89. Thank you very much for sharing with us surfered. Agree with you

[3catwoman3]

61. Seeing as musicals are my favorite genre, it's impossible to pick just one.

My Fair Lady - all of 'em, especially I Could Have Danced All Night, I'm Gettin' Married In The Morning, & On The Street Where You Live
The Sound of Music - I Have Confidence and I Must Have Done Something Good
Chicago - All That Jazz
Music Man - pretty much everything except Sheboopie - what a dumb song
The King and I - Shall We Dance and Getting To Know You

[debm55]

91. Thank you very much 3catwoman3, Those are wonderful selections.

[wcmagumba]

62. Jonathan Livingston Seagull, "Be" sung by Neil Diamond...

The whole film and score is wonderful but I haven't seen it in years...Just popped into my wee noggin...

92. Thank you very much, wcmagumba. It would be interesting to see again.

[coprolite]

Grovel Grovel

[debm55]

94. Thank you very much for sharing with us, coprolite.

[Different Drummer]

64. Jesus Christ Superstar

Too Much Heaven On Their Minds

I don't have anything against the Murray Head version of this song, but the Carl Anderson version has always been my favorite.

[debm55]

95. Thank you Different Drummer. I had the album when it came out. and saw the movie and play. Carl Anderson gave a great

version.

[Alpeduez21]

66. I really like Sit Down, you're Rocking the Boat - Guys and Dolls and There are Worse Things I Could Do -Grease

[debm55]

[applegrove]

67. Not counting 'The Sound of Music', I like 'Hair'. Aquarious

is a fav.

[debm55]

97. Thank you applegrove. for sharing with us. I enjoy them both.

[AllaN01Bear]

68. some where over the rain bow. chitty chitty bang bang song.

[debm55]

98. Thank you very much AllaN01Bear. Two great choices.

[La Coliniere]

69. The Music Man

Tie. “Ya Got Trouble” and “Til There Was You”, but I enjoy all the songs, as corny as some of them are.

[debm55]

85. Thank you LaColiniere. Wonderful movie and two great song selections you have chosen.

[KitFox]

70. Reading through these reminds me how much I love musicals!

Too hard to choose just one but I have a memory of seeing “Oklahoma” in the theater with my whole family when I was 6 or 7 years old. I was taken with the song “Oh What A Beautiful Morning”. Deb, I agree with you on “Mary Poppins”. I love all the songs from it but “Feed the Birds” is so lovely and poignant.

[debm55]

82. Thank you KitFox. I like the title song from Oklahoma. I really like all the songs from Mary Poppins, but Feed the Birds

makes my heart sing.

[Jeebo]

71. "The Wizard of Oz" and all the songs in it.

"The Wizard of Oz" is the first movie I ever remember watching. I was 5, it was 1955 and we had just gotten our first television set. It was one of those big wooden console TVs, a piece of furniture, with the picture made up of fat horizontal lines that you could see halfway across the room. CBS showed "The Wizard of Oz" one Sunday afternoon and I was just so fascinated by that movie. I mean, it profoundly affected the 5-year-old me. That movie still moves me now, but on a very much different level. It's a classic.

My other favorite musical is "My Fair Lady". It won Best Picture in 1964 and deservedly so, in my humble opinion. Audrey Hepburn was positively radiant in that movie, as she was in all her movies. I like all the music in that movie, too. Couldn't pick a favorite.

I'm not really much of a fan of movie musicals, though. I like several other film genres much more. But of that specific genre, those two are my favorites.

-- Ron

[debm55]

80. Thank you very much, Ron. Two great selections, though the flying monkeys scare me.

[sarge1943]

72. Singing in the Rain: "Make 'em Laugh" n/t

[debm55]

77. Thank you very much sarge1943. What a wonderful movie and song.

[10 Turtle Day]

73. Top Hat with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (1935)

The song Cheek to Cheek by Irving Berlin. That feathered gown Ginger wore and how they make love through dance. Absolutely gorgeous. I just love their movies. Anytime I’m down or need some escapism watching one of their movies soothes me every time. I can understand how they were so popular in the Depression era.

[debm55]

76. Thank you very, very much. Love their dancing and movies. Where do you find them? I would be interested in watching them

[10 Turtle Day]

107. Mostly on TCM

Occasionally they’ll run several in a row. I have my favorite ones recorded.

[boonecreek]

74. "The Blues Brothers"

Cab Calloway performing "Minnie the Moocher".

[debm55]

75. Thank you boonecreek. So enjoy the two selections.

[pdxflyboy]

79. I saw Mary Poppins in the movie theater when it first came out.

I was in the 4th grade. "Feed The Birds" made my eyes wet.

[debm55]

84. Same here. Thank you pdxflyboy.

[redstatebluegirl]

81. Hair

Age of Aquarius

[debm55]

83. Thank you very much redstatebluegirl. Agree with your choice. Wonderful.

[randr]

101. Yellow Submarine

It's all too much!

[debm55]

103. Thank you very much randr. Loved that song.

[jmowreader]

104. Let me see, there are several I really like

West Side Story: "Gee Officer Krupke." This is only for the original West Side Story movie. I don't think the version in the 2021 remake works as well.

Rocky Horror Picture Show: "Sword of Damocles" and "Eddie." Since you know Eddie...

Oklahoma!: "Kansas City."

[Figarosmom]

106. Hard Days Night

Song Remains the Same (Stairway to Heaven), Yellow Submarine ( Lucy in the Sky), Hair ( Aquarius) and The Last Waltz (The Weight)

[OldBaldy1701E]

108. Jesus Christ Superstar

'I Don't Know How To Love Him'. Beautiful song. There are many great songs in that film. Another is 'Superstar'. And, who will ever forget the tune that I use in real life to this day...

"What's the buzz? Tell me whats'a'happenin'!"
