In reply to the discussion: What is in your opinion the most enjoyable musical film? [View all]The Velveteen Ocelot
(130,717 posts)82. Most musicals kind of suck, except for West Side Story and
a couple of the old Lerner and Lowe/Rodgers and Hammerstein productions. In the '70s Ingmar Bergman made a movie of Mozart's Magic Flute and it's terrific. It's in Swedish instead of the usual German so it sounds a bit weird. But it's a cool production. Mozart's singspiel operas, which have spoken instead of sung dialogue, are a lot like modern musical comedies except much better.
