Top 5: Musicals of the 1960's

[@Shopmyst]

#1 West Side Story, #2 My Fair Lady, #3 Hair, #4 Oliver, #5 Man of La Mancha. This is the best list, ignore all the other opinions.

If you want movie musicals, the hair movie was later than the 1960s.I can go with Oliver, which I love.

The very best from this lot is undoubtedly, "The sound of music". A true gem in the history of motion picture making. Acting, songs, and a narrative that will touch your heart like no other film. A monument in movie making. Julie Andrews' best in her entire career, though she did win an Oscar for Mary Poppins. West side story was another great film of the early 60's with crackerjack performances by George Chakaris and Rita Moreno and ably supported by Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer. Both Chakaris and Moreno each walked away with a supporting Oscar.

Marni Nixon was involved in four of these films (yes, even Mary Poppins as the three singing geese!). And yet she never received an Honorary Oscar.

No Oliver? No Funny girl? No Sweet Charity?

[@FilmSnobReviews]

I cannot stand Oliver. Funny Girl would've been 6th

These are movies, not stage productions. And Sound of music was on Broadway in the 1950s.

[@FilmSnobReviews]

@laura Nowhere did I indicate they were Stage Productions. IN FACT, I go out of my way in the description to explain this. We’re talking strictly about motion picture musicals. Additionally. Sound of Musics Broadway date has no effect on the motion picture release date.

………Camelot, Man of La Mancha, Fiddler on the Roof, Hair, are my faves’, in no particular order………

Thought this group was pretty solid as a top 5 , but My Fair Lady was the Best Musical ever, the Songs were unbeivable in that all of them were excellent no throwaways for killing time and the move acting was superb i would have out Mary Poppins as it also had greaiemusic and acting ,as a Tie with Sound of music, Nice group Thanks for putiing it up

My Fair Lady was very good but West Side Story was better.

This is clearly one person’s opinion and that’s fine. Everybody gets one and I do too. I can’t stand The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. I have tried on more than an occasion or two and I just don’t get it. The Sound of Music has its moments but definitely not in MY top five. Here goes: 5. The Music Man 4. West Side Story 3. Oliver! 2. My Fair Lady 1. Funny Girl

[@FilmSnobReviews]

I dig your list! Also of course it is one persons opinion all top anything lists are. Umbrella isn’t her every much in the way I don’t care much for OLIVER! SOM is damn fantastic though.

How can they forget Jesus Christ Superstar and Hair?

[@FilmSnobReviews]

Well Jesus Christ Superstar hit theaters in 1973 and Hair in 1979

[@gwenshin]

@@FilmSnobReviews Ok, my bad.

[@FilmSnobReviews]

It’s all good. I’d love to teach more on the subject. If not there’s a ton of great reference for this.

[@amyclarke41]

America yes

[@hiridavidfeign]

I, also a film snob of a certain pedigree, am in agreement with these selections. Let us now form an alliance of snobbery.

If you do Knight Rider things, then you fine broadway shows that actor William Daniels was in.
