West Side Story, Fiddler On The Roof and especially The Music Man, all hold special places in my heart. But RENT is my #1 favorite!
Chicago would be high on the list without a doubt. I'm a sucker though for those old Gene Kelly musicals like Singin' in the Rain, An American in Paris, and even Brigadoon. Plus, as my guilty pleasure, just becauseI grew up with my mom listening to the soundtrack as she cleaned house, I'd have to tack Grease on there.

The penguins in Mary Poppins make me smile, as does Dick Van Dyke.

Okay, I def. cannot pick one but here are some I am partial to:
Singin' in the rain
Sound of music
Rent
My Fair Lady
Chicago
Mary Poppins
I am thoroughly entertained by The Producers, Moulin Rouge, and South Pacific, but I don't know if I can call them favs.
It seems that I'm the only one that worships A Star is Born. If you guys haven't seen it, I strongly recommend it! I can't even express the genius of Judy Garland.

I have to say it's a tie between Rent and Cabaret.
Honorable mentions: The Producers, Chicago, The Phantom of the Opera, Grease, and West Side Story!!
As for cartoons, I'd like to give a big shout out to The Lion King and The Prince of Egypt! =)
Moulin Rouge is great, it's just fun.
As far as originals go, though, I love West Side Story, My Fair Lady, Chicago, and The King and I.
Honorable mention to A Chorus Line for being so god-awful that it always makes me laugh.
Am I really the first one to say Les Miz? Come on doesn't anyone here the people sing?
My favorite movie musical will always be Rocky Horror, got hooked on that transexual Frankenfurter from my first midnight show at the age of 14.
