136. I've never heard of some of them, such as THE APPLE. Must investigate.

To be fair, The Apple is AWFUL.

The Apple is awful and amazing at the same time.

It's one of my favorite guilty pleasures.

Definitely encourage you to check it out Mamaleh.

I've seen 145.

Haven't seen:

Too Many Girls
Head
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
Romance and Cigarettes
Idlewild

I got 95. My early musicals knowledge is terrible.

But The Apple is in my Netflix queue. I cannot wait.

117... I'm ashamed of this number. I know what I'm going to be Netflix'ing.

63. Not bad for a 16 year old :)

61, but they left some out. Finian's Rainbow is not listed. I also want to know the criteria for how the Disney movies listed are, but others aren't.

The list is very odd. It's missing so many classics from the "golden age" of cinematic musicals and it includes some questionable titles (Cry Baby?) as well.

DICK TRACY is not a musical -- not no way, not no how.

How was The Pirate Movie listed but not the movie of The Pirates of Penzance?

And how can I live with myself that The Pirate Movie is one of my 95????

I definitely think Flashdance is a stretch as well. It did include some iconic songs, but that's it. Kind of surprising that they didn't include Footloose because of some of what they included.

And they are missing a bunch of Gene Kelly films too.

Some I wish I hadn't

127.

[Tink2]

Posted: 4/14/14 at 3:32pm

115. There are some on that list I have never even heard of. Yes, The Apple is one of them.

[devonian.t]

Posted: 4/14/14 at 3:38pm

121 But I can name another 20 I have seen that are not on the list. Agree about Dick Tracy, unless we are counting any film that has a song in it- maybe The Crying Game is a musical?

[Mister Matt]

Posted: 4/14/14 at 3:52pm

134 but there are probably at least 100 missing from that list and a few that really shouldn't be there.

taz - You have to see Too Many Girls! It's one of my favorites! Typical 30s college musical with some really fun production numbers. Lucy and Desi met for the first time filming this (Desi and Eddie Bracken reprise their roles from the Broadway production). I'd love to see this show get a revised revival a la No, No Nanette or Crazy For You.

They had Burlesque but not the other crappy pop star movies-- Glitter? Crossroads? From Justin to Kelly?

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 4/14/14 at 4:18pm

117

And that includes "Repo: A Genentic Opera".
