I would like to know why Fame was put in this list as it came out in 1980 and you clearly stated that list is for movies from 1985. That spot could of been for another movie. Really now guys.

[@stektek17]

I was going to point out the same thing. Fame is pre-1985.

[@Magz66ify]

I think you should have been clearer in your definition of musicals. Jersey Boys does not use the song lyrics to help tell the story i.e. substitute dialogue with songs. If you are going to include it, then you should have also included A Star is Born, Rocketman, and Bohemian Rhapsody. Just to name a few. As an avid musical watcher, I am seriously disappointed/disgusted with this list.

greatest Showman is BY FAR the best modern musical and ought to be number one hands down. I realise its only an opinion but seriously, Hugh Jackman, Zac Effron and all the rest of the cast are extremely mind blowing. The songs are all sublime and i cannot get enough of it. Have i mentioned the brilliant story yet? No, i have not which is fabulous. Hence me saying, in my opinion at least, it really ought to be first, no question.

Yea I really like the disney news es with Jeremy jordan in it

[@LamourVanity09]

@@unicornpotato0751 movie was before Jordan existed in 1993. Honestly it had an underground following of us and some are still split on the stage production. I myself don’t like the changes made on the stage. Jack isn’t an artist, he legit loves the Penny novels about the west, and would never be mean to Crutchy about it. Also Our man Denton was replaced with whatever the Mary Sue reporter is, and David’s sister, Sarah who is Jack’s love interest. She’s underdeveloped in the movie, and I hate rather than develop her for the stage they just got rid of her altogether. It felt at the time like a movie I’d been so attached to most of my life had been butchered and pushed aside. I still have trouble with the changes :/

[@allih8021]

I totally agree! And I think that would have been more fitting for this list than something like "Dancing Queen" which was written as a pop radio hit before being co-opted decades later for a musical. I'm not trying to throw shade at Mamma Mia! but I'd have preferred a full list of songs written for the musical it was in. In fact, I'm a little cranky about how much of this list focused on Broadway musicals done as movies rather than actual movie musicals.

Keep your opinions to yourself. If you don’t like The Greatest Showman that’s fine but don’t be mean to people who do.

Watching this countdown has made me want to watch all the musicals on the list.

[@eme.261]

At least once a week, "Elephant Love Medley" pops unbidden into my thoughts and I eventually break out singing. At that moment, if I'm going through a period of low-grade depression, my feelings are instantly lifted.

[@marysuesagor5187]

I know that the recorded HAMILTON may not count as a movie per see, but the one song that comes to my mind at the strangest times is YOU'LL BE BACK- the King's first song. I don't know why it runs through my head as it does, but it's almost a daily occurrence!

[@sacredjules]

If it counts as a musical, "That Thing You Do" from the same titled movie is catchy as hell.

[@lindabent7135]

I would say it is a musical and I totally agree. As soon as the soundtrack came out I couldn't listen to that CD more if I tried. I would even listen to it on my CD walk-man whenever I would go anywhere. LOL.

[@etcetera1995]

Honestly, it doesn't hold a candle to the stage version of the song. Carter and Todd are just so... *Boring* in that number. But Pretty Women? Rickman and Depp's version has to be my favorite out of any I've ever heard. Definitely the best song on that version of the soundtrack.

[@pennyc11]

@@etcetera1995 Little Priest was meant to be a passive tune. I liked the movie version of it and it always makes me smile a bit. Because so many wicked people in the world.

[@quiquaequod322]

I cast a vote for "Falling Slowly" from ONCE (2007). The Oscar-winning Song is not as high energy as those on this list, but it gets into your head when you hear it. It can replace #14, FAME (1980), which many have pointed out does not even belong here.
