5. The Wizard of Oz

I would have to add The Gang's All Here, if for no other reason, the insane Busby Berkeley/Carmen Miranda extravaganza The Lady in the Tutti Fruiti Hat.

Oooh. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Love that one. Mountain men...

On top of its hottie hotness, the dance sequence in the barn raising scene is excellent. One of my all-time favorite scenes.

Heidi's gay-man-in-straight-woman's-body Top 10 Musicals:

1 - Singin' in the Rain
2 - Mary Poppins
3 - West Side Story
4 - The Little Mermaid
5 - The Wizard of Oz
6 - The Sound of Music
7 - All That Jazz
8 - Duck Soup
9 - Oklahoma
10 - Velvet Goldmine

Runner-ups might include Cabaret, Once (too soon to tell on that one for me), Gold Diggers of 1933, Footlight Parade, but decidedly NOT Seven/Seven. I can't make my way through it!

By the way, as I was researching that list, I discovered that Aaron Sorkin, of all people, is adapting Sondheim's Follies for film, due 2009. Weird!

People...

Nathan Detroit, Sky Masterson, Nicely Nicely and the Guys of the Oldest Established Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York are protesting their exclusion from any musical list: straight, gay or other.

The Dolls too.

This I cannot allow.

I never did like Fantasia, but I'm willing to accept that I'm alone on that one. But Shrek? I think it relies on too many pop culture references to stay funny forever.

I'd say that's true of its sequels, but what the original references a thousand times more often than modern pop culture is classical age storybook tales. And so I think it will remain as timeless as those.

As for not liking Fantasia .... well, I hope you end up in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you're dead.

What? No Goonies? No Clash of the Titans?

I agree with Tom.
And I love Stripes.
