are immaculate movie musicals.

as for stage shows:
*chicago
*crazy for you (silliest show ever--but imaginative and perfectly paced)
*west side story (practically an opera)
*jesus christ superstar (and the movie)
*godspell
*pippin (bad book, great music and concept)
*ragtime
*lion king (huge and beautiful)

film again:

*singing in the rain

hell...this is one of my areas of expertise.
