Little Shop of Horrors.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Top 3
1. Sound of Music
2. Chicago
3. Singing in the Rain
I think that one of the most underrated and well made movie musicals is "Hair". I also like a few others mentioned here. I'm surprised that the movie version of "The Wiz" would make it on anyone's favorite list. IMO, that move, along with "A Chorus Line" are two of the worst movie musicals ever made. To each his own.
Rocky Horror
Moulin Rouge, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and REEFER MADNESS
The Sound of Music
RENT
Chicago
The Wizard of Oz
and I know I will be shot for this, but I really hate the movie of "Cabaret"

Pab! of course, I love the movie of Hair. I think it actually improved on the show. Plus the Twyla Tharp choreography, a great cast and chorus. I think I need to put it on as soon as I get home.
Chicago
High Society, Broadway Melody of the 1940's, Rocky Horror, Bye Bye Birdie, Pajama Game, Millie (if you've never seen it, rent it to watch Carol Channing sing jazz baby), Annie, kiss me kate, music man, my fair lady, sound of music, cabaret, pirates of penzance, I'm such a nerd I could go on forever!!!!!
CHICAGO. No question. I don't remember the last time a movie blew me out of the water the way Chicago did.
