All the AFI-listed all-time 25 greatest musical movies are truly monumental,memorable,& marvelous.But it doesn't mean that the other popular & well-made musicals had been disregarded,missed-out,& discredited.Yet we're all still entitled to consider which movies that we'd seen to be our all-time favorite,highly-entertaining,& very-significant ones. Almost all the people around the world really love to see movies particularly the Musicals - that will delight,inspire,excite,& amuse them.
The Music Man is one of the tightest, most cohesive musicals ever. The songs all show Meredith Wilson's incredible mastery over his medium. Why that musical isn't on this list I simply can't imagine.
The sound of music will always be my favorite. With music man a close second. The sound of music was my father’s favorite movie. And he was a strong tough man. He loved the story along with the movie. It grew on me over time.
My list: 1. Meet Me in St. Louis 2. The Sound of Music 3. Cabaret 4. Singin’ in the Rain 5. The Wizard of Oz 6. 42nd Street 7. Fiddler on the Roof 8. A Star is Born (1954) 9. West Side Story 10. Moulin Rouge (2001)
In the previous video I have received many comments, which were not agree on the ranking. Make a ranking is a very difficult and complicated. You're the first person to mention A Chorus Line. A good film! Of all the comments that I remember, no one has ever mentioned this movie. Thank you for the note and support dear Monica!
From my perspective, the three MGM produced musicals included by the AFI: An American In Paris [ probably the greatest representation of Gene Kelly's dancing artistry on film against a backdrop of top level Gershwin music ] Singin In The Rain [ iconic dancing by Kelly and O'Connor with an assist by Reynolds ] and Minnelli's The Band Wagon [ Astaire at his late career best with wonderful Dietz and Schwartz music ] are the finest musicals. My Fair Lady and West Side Story are also superb.
My list: 1. Singin in the rain 2. West Side Story 3. My Fair Lady 4. The sound of music 5. Mary Poppins 6. The King and I 7. Gigi 8. An american in Paris. 9. Hello Dolly! 10. Seven brides for seven brothers
Great List! I would have some slightly different choices, based on preference; but there is nothing to scoff at with these selections! 1. Singin' in the Rain 2. On the Town 3. An American in Paris 4. A Star Is Born 5. The Band Wagon 6. Mary Poppins 7. Swing Time 8. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers 9. Yankee Doodle Dandy 10. The Music Man
Here's how the Top 25 list came about, courtesy of AFI: The American Film Institute (AFI) in Los Angeles, California conducted its 2006 polling on the Greatest Movie Musicals of All Time, to highlight the 25 Greatest Movie Musicals of All Time. A ballot was distributed in 2006 with 180 nominated musicals to a jury of over 500 leaders from the creative community, including composers, musicians, film artists (directors, screenwriters, actors, editors and cinematographers), critics and historians. Due to the extensive number of memorable movie musicals in American film, jurors were also allowed to write in votes for musicals that did not already appear on the ballot. Judging Criteria for Selecting the 25 Greatest Movie Musicals: MUSICAL - A feature-length American film* in which music and lyrics significantly advance the plot, develop character or are otherwise integral to the film narrative. *AFI defines an American film as an English language motion picture with significant creative and/or financial production elements from the United States. AFI defines a feature-length film as a motion picture of narrative format that is typically over 60 minutes in length. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - Musicals that have left an indelible mark on the history of the moving image - through innovation in song and dance, visionary narrative devices or other groundbreakingachievements. CREATIVE IMPACT - Musicals with songs that evoke the memory of its film source, thus ensuring and enlivening both the music and the movie's historical legacy. LEGACY - Musicals that continue to inspire artists and audiences alike.
there should be fiddler on the roof, phantom of the opera, oliver, and a couple of others i cant remember. but other than that i love all of the rest and love your tops picks.
Wonderful list, though I would put The Wizard of Oz at the top. It is truly an inspirational film with a message that resonates today as clearly as it did 74 years ago..
No Fiddler on the Roof, No Easter Parade, No Phantom of The Opera?... And those are just off the top of my head..Also if you're going to use Disney cartoons, you better add Cinderella.. And the glaring miss of Oklahoma and South Pacific... "I'm as corny as Kansas in August, high as a flag on the 4th of July"...
I’ve seen a lot of lists like this but this one is probably my favorite. There are obviously going to be some amazing musicals that aren’t on this list, but despite that, I think this selection is pretty awesome🥰🙌🏽
The music of the previous version was very nice. I had doubts until the end whether to delete it and load the original. But if you remember the music covered in the final, dialogue of the film Singin in the rain. Thank you again!
Sure Alan, I know your favorite movie musical is Top Hat. As you know, unfortunately I still can not receive TCM in my satellite TV. When I made this video it took me over 1 month to research the films and for montage. Thank you for your continued support!!
This video looks familiar, but it is so well done. Of course I love the music. I think it's hard to pull off a good musical. There has to be a story you can relate to and good music. I agree those are some of the best musical picks. ;)
Most of my favorite movie musicals are included here. Yea -- "Singing in the Rain" is #1! But, I wish "Fiddler on the Roof" had been included and "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and... Well, I guess they can't all be included in just the top 25! lol
in my opinion the Les Miserables movie had a lot of issues, yes there was great moments ( like Anne Hathaway), but some singers could have used some work and transitions were strange, and could have been more entertaining.
My vote is for Minnelli's An American In Paris [ Gene Kelly at his most creative and appealing}; Minnelli's The Band Wagon [ Fred Astaire at the zenith of his talents and a great Dietz and Schwartz score ] Gigi [ a great Lerner and Loewe score, which I don't believe made the list, and Cukor's My Fair Lady [ preserving Rex Harrison's classic performance, even though the film is marred by the absence of Julie Andrews' original stage creation of Eliza Doolittle.
Wonderful video, Mirko! I'm not totally agree with this ranking (I've missed "A Chorus Line" and I think that Funny girl, All that Jazz and My fair lady should be in better places) but you did an excellent work, dear friend! Hugs, Mónica

Breakfast at Tiffany's is not included among the 180 nominated films. It is not a musical film. The Rochy Horror Picture Show is in the list but did not enter among the top 25 musical films. Rent has not been named among the 180 films.
A seriously dubious list. Where are Les Miserables, Oliver, Jesus Christ Superstar, White Christmas, Babes in Arms, Flying Down to Rio, Phantom of the Opera, South Pacific, Fiddler on the Roof, Oklahoma, Holiday Inn, Can Can, Finnegan's Rainbow, The Court Jester, High Society, Kiss Me Kate, Paint Your Wagon, Two Weeks With Love, Desert Song, The Student Prince, Babes on Broadway, The Toast of New Orleans, Anchors Aweigh, Damn Yankees, Camelot, Blue Hawaii, Pajama Game, Calamity Jane, Broadway Melody of (1938 or 1940), Maytime, Rosalie, Balalaika, Ship Ahoy, The Chocolate Soldier, Streets of Fire, The Merry Widow, State Fair (1945 or 1962), First Love, It Started With Eve, Brigadoon, The Fleet's In, Annie Get Your Gun, The Great Ziegfield, et al. Any of the foregoing are more deserving than seven or eight of those listed.
This is the first UA-cam video I've see which has the correct movie at #1. Singing in the Rain is the best movie musical of all time.

Lia, thank you so much for seeing the video again, this time in its original version!
this was a wonderful tribute to movie musicals!!!!
You did a wonderful job on this video, Mirko. So glad to see it's still here.
Thank you very much Steffi and have a fantastic weekend to you too!
Thank you very much Craig!
In the previous video I have received many comments, which were not agree on the ranking. Make a ranking is a very difficult and complicated. You're the first person to mention A Chorus Line.

1. Singin' in the Rain
2. On the Town

4. A Star Is Born
5. The Band Wagon
6. Mary Poppins
7. Swing Time

Although there were some glaringly obvious mess ups, sound of music and mary poppins are both in the top ten. thats a win for me
Thanks very much!
The Greatest Movie of all time is the Sound of Music, West Side Story, Singing in the Rain, The Wizard of Oz.,
Grazie Franco, sono contento che ti piacciono i film musicali!!
A fantastic weekend for you too and thanks!

Nice list, but why the heck are they playing the music from Gone With The Wind, instead of selections from each of the musicals? That's really dumb!
I wondered about that too!
The list is from AFI, but the video is made by a UA-camr.
Maybe its copyrighted?
Yes, Ingrid I wanted to re-upload the video with the original music.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. A great weekend for you and all the best!!
Yeah, go Judy!!!
there should be fiddler on the roof, phantom of the opera, oliver, and a couple of others i cant remember. but other than that i love all of the rest and love your tops picks.
great list pretty much covers everything and number 1 is correct
5:08 Singin' in the rain rules 😍
This is Awesome!
Just wonderfull .
Wonderful list, though I would put The Wizard of Oz at the top. It is truly an inspirational film with a message that resonates today as clearly as it did 74 years ago..
This is AMAZING
Thanks to you Irene for watching and to have appreciated it!
No Fiddler on the Roof, No Easter Parade, No Phantom of The Opera?... And those are just off the top of my head..Also if you're going to use Disney cartoons, you better add Cinderella.. And the glaring miss of Oklahoma and South Pacific... "I'm as corny as Kansas in August, high as a flag on the 4th of July"...
Oh and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes ... "Diamonds are a girls best friend"
+impassable OR rather Pinnochio and Dumbo. They should be there instead of the campy crappy Grease & others like Funny Girl...
Grande musica, una buona fusione di immagini, con un magnifico finale; il film, cantando sotto la pioggia : il mio preferito!
I’ve seen a lot of lists like this but this one is probably my favorite. There are obviously going to be some amazing musicals that aren’t on this list, but despite that, I think this selection is pretty awesome🥰🙌🏽
The music of the previous version was very nice. I had doubts until the end whether to delete it and load the original. But if you remember the music covered in the final, dialogue of the film Singin in the rain. Thank you again!
I'm surprised to not see Fiddler on the Roof.
YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS...
You probably still remember the previous version that I uploaded almost 3 years ago.
I had re-upload the video with this original music. Thanks Deb!
Can't stop loving Gene Kelly... Wooooooow
What, no Gigi? That was so charming
I love LOVE singing in the Rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank to you!
wonderful
Yes, I recognized the video right away. take care. ;)
Well, I think people will be never very agree with rankings :D! You know, this is so subjective! I wish you a fantastic weekend, dear Mirko!
Sure Alan, I know your favorite movie musical is Top Hat. As you know, unfortunately I still can not receive TCM in my satellite TV. When I made this video it took me over 1 month to research the films and for montage. Thank you for your continued support!!
Excellent choices but A Star is Born definitely beats Singing in the Rain and how could you leave out Easter Parade?
It's not his/her list. It's the American Film Institute's list.

I love this
South Pacific!? Fiddler on the Roof, Annie Get Your Gun, Oklahoma... so many great ones!
in my opinion the Les Miserables movie had a lot of issues, yes there was great moments ( like Anne Hathaway), but some singers could have used some work and transitions were strange, and could have been more entertaining.
Thanks for watching!
Good list. But where is Shirley Jones. She was one of the best.
This is a great new musical "Part of Something Bigger (The Twitter Song)"
Great list. I wouldn’t change it, just add one more classic. “Rent”
wonderful list!!
but where is breakfast at tyfannis , rocky horror picture show and RENT?
Just out of curiosity why on earth are they using music that isn't from a musical to go with the top 25 Movie Musicals list?
The music is the same used during the event in which was presented the list of films.
@ TheBigValley Mirko - that still doesn't explain why that music was selected.
So long as Mary Poppins ( the best musical ever made) was mentioned I'm ok
I agree, that and the sound of music
My vote is for Minnelli's An American In Paris [ Gene Kelly at his most creative and appealing}; Minnelli's The Band Wagon [ Fred Astaire at the zenith of his talents and a great Dietz and Schwartz score ] Gigi [ a great Lerner and Loewe score, which I don't believe made the list, and Cukor's My Fair Lady [ preserving Rex Harrison's classic performance, even though the film is marred by the absence of Julie Andrews' original stage creation of Eliza Doolittle.

1776 should be on the list. Also Willy Wonka, Oliver
Oliver was a best picture.
West Side Story - number one; The Bandwagon - number two; and Singin' In the Rain - number three. Just to add my corrections.
donald sepanek that's bastardization of this sacred list

Breakfast at Tiffany's is not included among the 180 nominated films. It is not a musical film. The Rochy Horror Picture Show is in the list but did not enter among the top 25 musical films. Rent has not been named among the 180 films.
Wish victor/Victoria was on here
Lynda Jaeger SAME
In my opinion there should appear "Calamity Jane". Additionaly "The King and I" should be put higher. But everybody like other types. :)
Chorus Line didn't even make it but All that Jazz did? I find that very odd.
where's Fiddler on the Roof?
Why is Chicago on this list?
in the west side story sequence, the guy on the right is soooo cute. He has cute eyes
FUNNY GIRL IS THE BEST
Pajama Game and Oklahoma should be on the list.
This list is of 2006.
As much as I love Gene Kelly and Singin' in the Rain I think that number one should have been The King and I.
Fiddler on the Roof. White Christmas
The Wizard of Oz and The Sound of Music should DEFINITELY be above West Side Story. Otherwise, great list
+cajayson8301 Ebert nailed the correct opinion on WSS- see his review at Roger Ebert.com...
I’d put West Side Story 7th or 8th
cajayson8301 Nope. The only musical movie better than West Side Story is #1.
& they forgot the 2 best Disney Musicals- Pinnochio & Dumbo- WTF?
AGREED ON DUMBO!!! Also Who Framed Roger Rabbit! Excellent story, characters, & songs for both films!
this list was made in 2006 Sweeney todd was released in 2007
I highly disagree with Grease. It's one of the classics with Sining in the rain, the wizard of oz, and the sound of music!
A seriously dubious list. Where are Les Miserables, Oliver, Jesus Christ Superstar, White Christmas, Babes in Arms, Flying Down to Rio, Phantom of the Opera, South Pacific, Fiddler on the Roof, Oklahoma, Holiday Inn, Can Can, Finnegan's Rainbow, The Court Jester, High Society, Kiss Me Kate, Paint Your Wagon, Two Weeks With Love, Desert Song, The Student Prince, Babes on Broadway, The Toast of New Orleans, Anchors Aweigh, Damn Yankees, Camelot, Blue Hawaii, Pajama Game, Calamity Jane, Broadway Melody of (1938 or 1940), Maytime, Rosalie, Balalaika, Ship Ahoy, The Chocolate Soldier, Streets of Fire, The Merry Widow, State Fair (1945 or 1962), First Love, It Started With Eve, Brigadoon, The Fleet's In, Annie Get Your Gun, The Great Ziegfield, et al. Any of the foregoing are more deserving than seven or eight of those listed.
Me through the whole list-
Mkay...kay... hey, I know that one! Kewl... kay...kay
By the end-
But.... Little Shop of Horrors.......... D:
Seems funny for AFI to list the top 25 greatest movie musicals and then don't use footage from the actual musical! LOL
Odd that they're using music from a non-musical for this.
Gigi, the musical by Vincent Minelli that won nine Oscars is not on here????????????
I made another video with other films and added Gigì.
TheBigValley I'll look for it!!!!!!!!
The Musical film: Lovely on my Hand
Uhm, Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera, Annie???????
was expecting oliver!
No Viva Las Vegas?
No Fred Astaire at all? No Bandwagon, Funny Face or fill in the blank Astaire Rogers film?
Have another look, Allan.
whoops, must have blinked!
Allan Fisch Astaire is there but AMAZINGLY not even in the top 10
