  omitting Barbra Streisand's Funny Girl and Yentl seems odd

  I could use your words in my work? Would it be probable? If yes, please contact with me!http://www.nflhere.us/

  WEST SIDE STORY is my official favorite movie of all time, but I've had problems with it as a grown-up and I couldn't see voting for it over SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, which really IS the best musical of the last 75 years. If you were doing a list of the last 25 years (slim pickings indeed), I would choose Madonna's TRUTH OR DARE (1991), which truly is a backstage Hollywood musical, documentary trappings or not.

  Where is The Umbrellas of Cherbourg on this list?

  47 people think Moulin Rouge is the best musical in the last 75 years? Have these folks seen anything before Quentin Tarantino?

  It's The Band Wagon with Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Nanette Fabray, Oscar Levant and Jack Buchanan. Duh! (Don't you guys know anything about movie musicals?)

  Where Can I choose "My fair Lady"? Just won 8 Oscars

  Xanadu. I'm serious.

  I had to pick 30 movies between 1937 and 2012--and left off quite a few personal faves, from The Music Man to An American in Paris.

  So no chance for "Dancer in the Dark"... :(

  Finnian's Rainbow, Brigadoon ....

• Anne Thompson | December 24, 2012 2:47 PMReply

  Damn, I did the whole thing over to include that one and it's missing. I thought I put it in. It's too late now cause various folks have started voting. HUGE OMISSION.

  Two other glaring omissions: MY FAIR LADY and ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.
  
  And, please: it's SINGIN' IN THE RAIN -- not "Singing"! (It has my vote, and I've often wondered why so many movie and other trade publications forget about that swingin' contraction.)

  no An American in Paris?
