ABC presents Best In Film 3/22, includes Best Movie Musical category

The list of films -- from comedies to action flicks to musicals and more -- was compiled from well-known "best-of" surveys and awards lists. The final 10 films in each category were selected by an elite panel of film industry experts, including dozens of well-known actors, producers, directors and critics, which we then put to you in a popular vote.

The results will be revealed during a special two-hour ABC News broadcast, hosted by Tom Bergeron and Cynthia McFadden, on March 22 at 9 p.m. ET. Until then, you may watch clips from the films. Stay tuned for more information on the broadcast. We promise you will see the movies like you've never seen them before.

BEST MOVIE MUSICAL Nominees
Top (L-R): An American in Paris (1951), Cabaret (1972), Chicago (2002), Grease (197, My Fair Lady (1964)

Bottom (L-R): The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), Singin' in the Rain (1942), The Sound of Music (1965), West Side Story (1961), The Wizard of Oz (1931)

What would you rank these 10 movie musicals, 1 being the best?

That's what I was figuring because it is compiled from other sources and voted on by the public. However, the only one I admit to not having seen is "An American in Paris".

Also, Wizard of Oz was 1939, not 1931. They were still trying to perfect sound in 1931.

1. The Sound of Music
2. West Side Story
3. Chicago

^ I'm replacing this with Funny Girl, but that's just my personal preference.

Cant believe Wizard of Oz is third. I personally think Singing in the Rain shouldve gotten the top spot. I'm obviously biased, as it is my favorite movie, but not only is there great singing and dancing, but its hilarious, even after all these years. It is such a great all-around movie. I love all of the movies in the top 5, but Wizard of Oz and Singing in the Rain are, IMO, unquestionably better than Grease. but to each their own :)

"Wizard of Oz" should have been second. "My Fair Lady" should have been in the top 5 instead of "Grease." Yeah for "The Sound of Music" getting 1st place!

In the animated film category we had two films which became long running Broadway musicals:

1. The Lion King
2. Toy Story
3. Beauty and the Beast
4. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
5. Fantasia

When "Beauty and the Beast" landed in number 3 my sister was shocked.
