Other than Jennifer Hudson and a good portion of Jamie Foxx, those were the only two good things about the film. It was a good film, but not amazing either. Jennifer Hudson was absolutely amazing, I agree, but to take part of the best, there needs to be multiple things that were amazing. Chemistry with the entire crew, acting (from *multiple* people), character development, songs, lyrics, music, storyline relativity with the world, etc.
Did you really name Emma Thompson as a star in Beauty and the Beast while showing a scene with Emma Watson. I realize Emma Thompson was Mrs Potts, but it's a rather confusing celebrity citation.
RedRoseSeptember22 beauty and beast was boring. I rather watch the original amazing animated movie than the live action one. Don’t get me wrong I love beauty and beast and I love Emma Watson. But it is not better than la la land. Beauty and the beast is another remake. La la land is a original. The problem with beauty and the beast is you can’t remake a classic. And to answer your question la la land is not boring. It’s saying every single day life is boring. It is not stuff happens every single day. La la land is great film because it’s talking about if you are going to focus on your career or you relationship. So la la land is a great film that deserves to be higher than beauty and beast.
diana M it is not about if they won awards. It is about if it a great film. La la land is a great film. Beauty and the beast is good but not the amazing original that is la la land. Beauty and the beast is just a remake that is not better than the original.
You know what I've noticed? These modern musical films didn't get mentioned or on the list. 1. The Phantom of the Opera (2004) 2. The Muppets (2011) 3. Mamma Mia! (2008) 4. HIgh School Musical 3; Senior Year (2008) 5. Enchanted (2007) 6. Hedwig and the Angry Itch (2001) 7. School of Rock (2003) 8. The Producers (2005) 9. Jersey Boys (2014) 10. Pitch Perfect films (2012-2015)
Phantom, Mamma Mia, the Producers and Jersey Boys are all mediocre at best, Enchanted is Disney, and School of Rock isn't really a musical. Pitch perfect 1 is good, and could be in this list, but other than that, none really.
Caleb Brink its the nostalgia for the well known songs I guess. La La Land has really just one really standout song : City of Stars who I had is a great song. With beauty and beast you just couldn't help sing along all the songs while watching the film because you remember them from 20 years ago. Nostalgia is really a powerful thing. I loved the movie for it even though I hatted Emma Watson as Belle and didn't buy the chemistry between the actors but I loved it because I loved the old songs The new ones I already forgot them honestly. We only really love beauty and the beast because of Nostalgia and a few well done numbers because honestly the adaptation was really badly done and didn't have the magic and feeling of the original but our minds settle for the crap we are seeing beauty and the beast on the big screen again with great sound. Hear oí get the songs on high a volume in a huge screen. That's why we loved beauty and the beast even though it really disappointed. Hope I explained myself
Caleb Brink if you put the original 1991 Beauty and the Beast aside, the new 1 is defiantly better than La La Land, Just think about it, La LA land has a good sountrack but very little story Beauty and the Beast has both a good soundtrack and a powerful strong story. Also Beauty and the Beast is a musical that both kids and adults can enjoy.
It's difficult to put the original Beauty and the Beast aside when the new one is so determined to cram nostalgia down the viewer's throats, with little to no original content. Actually, let me rephrase that: the new one has no GOOD original content.
And Mamma Mia! The 2008 Musical Romantic Comedy Film? I think it was the best that I've ever seen... PD: And the Phantom of the Opera was really good too.
j-dizzle time . How would it be bad? How this movie would be bad? If it was adapted of the famous Broadway Musical, of the same name, and based on the songs of the successful pop group ABBA? I really think and believe, the original songs (sung by the group), and the movie songs (like the movie too), were really good. All of them. PD: That's just my opinion. And for what I see, the opinion of too much other people, (not only yours can count or be a really detailed and deep bad comment with respect of the movie), by the way. That's all. Sorry for the disturbances. And if at any time I offended you, I'm really sorry. No more preamble, and no more to write. I leave. Goodbye.
the songs are good, the acting was ok and the story was fine. wanna know why it was ruined? it was the singing. having to hear Merryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan along with a handful of others absolutely BUTCHER these classic songs was almost unbearable. they were off-key, had bad voices and sounded goofy sometimes. I think they should've done what Phantom of the opera did and hire actual singers instead of star power. even if the acting suffers a bit.
Ok, Pierce Brosnan was undeniably AWEFUL...but Meryl Streep did the best performance of The Winner Takes It All and Slipping Through My Fingers I've ever heard! Back away from Meryl!
NOPE. sorry but Meryl was bad too. and she's done at least 3 singing roles since. her best singing was from into the woods. ill give her a pass for Florence foster Jenkins tho because she was supposed to be a bad singer.
My top 8 list is: 1: Mamma Mia 1/2 2: Billy Elliot Live 3: Hairspray 4: The sound of music 5: Grease 6: Mary poppins 1/2 7: Boheamian Rapsody 8: Beauty and the beast
Hewy Toonmore It is the first adaptation I watched of the musical. I have watched the 25th anniversary with Ramin and Sierra and prefer it over the movie. The movie isn't perfect but it introduced me to the musical which I love.
Thanks to the greatest showman we deserve a redux of this list. Really it was that good, I never thought a musical as good as Moulin Rouge would ever come and then I saw The greatest showman with amazing songs, perfect singing and dancing and big musical numbers. It’s a musical that will make you leave the theater with a smile on your face. ok here my top 10 I'm expanding the criteria of what counts as modern day including the 90s and animated films . 1 Moulin Rouge 2 The Greatest Showman 3 Chicago 4 Beauty and the beast( animated version) 5 The Lion King 6 Rock of Ages 7 Burlesque 8 Mamma Mia 9 Enchanted 10 Frozen
I Love Sweeny Todd, Chicago, Hairspray But I miss in that list the movies Mamma Mia, Beautiful Girl (2003) and of course my favourite musical all the way: The Phantom of the opera!
I'm just happy Rent made it on here. Honestly, I didn't expect it to make the list. I don't know many people who are familiar with it, or even know it exists.
Beauty and the beast is so wonderful. But seriously, only an honourable mention for Dream Girls, with oscar and golden globe wins, and NO mamma Mia or phantom of the opera? I hope you've made a second list here!
Nope. Nope nope nope nope. Nu-uh. Wrong. Sweeney Todd should be SOOO much higher up this list, as should Chicago. I would've even put Moulin Rouge a little higher. And Les Miz should not be #1. Rent is an amazing show, but the movie version isn't that great. What's good about it is it kept much of the musical intact, except the recitative parts, which were sadly cut. I really didn't like Once, and La La Land is completely overrated. I also think Enchanted deserved at least an honorable mention... unless it wasn't included because it's Disney? But Sweeney shoulda been way higher.
Alexandra Rodriguez I like high school musical too, but it's Disney, and she said that she doesn't include them. But I would like her to make a list for Disney musicals.
I love les mis. So much. But my question is WHY THE FUCK IS PHANTOM OF THE OPERA NOT ON THIS????? ITS NOT EVEN ON THE HONORABLE MENTIONS!!! LES MIS IS MY FAVORITE MUSICAL FOLLOWED BY PHANTOM!! UGHHHHHH SO TRIGGERED
OK...other musical theatre humans will probably back me up here....BUT HOW DID BEAUTY AND THE BEAST MAKE IT ON THE LOST AND NOT THE LAST 5 YEARS. WHAT IS THIS MADNESS. I'M SO ANNOYED RIGHT NOW
Scotti Brown it's because of Girard butlers performance it wasn't that good, plus it was a Joel Schumacher film. It wasn't well edited and barely anyone could sing. It's definitely a movie that needs a remake
Scotti Brown It's a bad movie. Gerald can't sing and the acting from the main actors was mediocre at best. I may not like the Broadway show but even I can see that the Broadway show was a lot better than the movie.
Honestly i thought The Greatest Showman was going to be in here but guess what it is not in here ;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;
I rather agree with most of this list. PERFECT BECAUSE LES MIS IS NUMBER ONE! But...There's just one thing I must correct... WRONG! The highlight of Les miserables is not Anne's version of I Dreamed a Dream, but every single second Aaron is on screen
I think the High School Musical franchise helped re-popularize the genre with a much younger audience. regardless of whether you think the actors are cheesy and the story cliched, you can't deny the catchyness of the songs. And while Chicago and LesMiserable might've been the first Musicals in a while to win Oscars, School of Rock had a massive impact and gained a cult-status and most likely influenced High School Musical in the same way
How is GREASE & FAME not in this list. Those are cultural iconic films. Les Miserables is a great Broadway play but did not nowhere the impact of those two films. WOW!!!!
I agree with Rent and Les Mis taking the top spots, but... 1. I thought you said "no Disney musicals". Why is the Live Action "Beauty and the Beast" even on there if it was co-produced by Disney and it's almost a verbatim remake of the original? 2. Emma Watson was terrible as a singer in the movie, and was so auto-tuned and overproduced to make her sound good, she sounded robotic for half of the movie. Why include a musical where the supposed star was out-shined by her cast? 3. Where is "Mamma Mia!" and "Phantom of the Opera"? "Rock of Ages" is also amazing. 4. "Dreamgirls" really only got an honourable mention?
Yes! I friggen love Repo! Although I actually prefer The Devil's Carnival and it's sequel a bit, just speaking personally, Repo's probably a bit more solid. And say it with me: Zydrate comes in a little glass vial!
I can’t believe they point out that “modern movie musicals have a tendency to attract big names in spades but limited singing range” and in the same list, praise Beauty and the Beast (Emma Watson, Emma Thompson) and Les Mis (Russell freakin Crowe). The hypocrisy. This might be the worst Watch Mojo list I’ve seen in awhile.
LOL this list is trash. The rent movie was a critical and public failure for a reason. 30 year olds singing about not wanting to pay their rent was laughable at the time. Beauty and the beast cast a lead that can’t sing.

Not mentioning Mamma Mia or High School Musical 3 is an absolute crime.
the first high school musical is better
@@isaacmulisa Na dawg, the second one is the best.
@@misterwhy6026 super true
Mamma Mia is the most overrated musical ever
Mamma Mia! and Enchanted should have made the list! Or at least an honourable mention
I think Enchanted counts as a Disney movie.
but so does beauty and the beast 2017
Yes, Enchanted is a wonderful movie! I love all the comedy in it.
Enchanted was technically a Disney musical, so it was excluded
Enchanted was technically a Disney musical, so it was excluded
Dreamgirls as only an honourable mention?!?
I know right?! It's insulting. Jennifer Hudson's performance alone should have been reason enough to put it in the top 10.
staciemwahhaha
is your profile pic neko atsume?
The Flame Twins And Burning Passion yeah haha
Ikr! I think it should be in place of Beauty In The Beast
Other than Jennifer Hudson and a good portion of Jamie Foxx, those were the only two good things about the film. It was a good film, but not amazing either.

Ikr. I only watched it to see tgs
The greatest showman wasnt out when this list was made
it wasnt that great tbh
The songs were killer though
Its not on thr list?!?!
4:20
"Emma Thomson" . . . erm. . . I think you mean Emma Watson
you do realize that there are two Emmas in the Beauty and the Beast?
Emma Watson played Belle but Emma Thompson played Mrs. Potts
@@sarahrodrigues4936 why’d they show Emma Watson and say Emma Thompson
emma watson ain't a hollywood great 💀
Did you really name Emma Thompson as a star in Beauty and the Beast while showing a scene with Emma Watson. I realize Emma Thompson was Mrs Potts, but it's a rather confusing celebrity citation.
I thought the same thing. I was sat there like "right because thst makes total sense hshs"
Other HM's:

Daniel Mart If anyone who listed poultrygeist night of the chicken dead please don't put it the comments
Wtf?
Daniel Mart FYI
Daniel Mart yes I agree with you
Daniel Mart I was😕nt mad on lala land
How did beauty and the beast get a higher score then La La Land
Julian Ramirez because lala land has won enough awards
Julian Ramirez both suck, in my opinion...
+Julian Ramirez because it was better and La La Land is boring XD
RedRoseSeptember22 beauty and beast was boring. I rather watch the original amazing animated movie than the live action one. Don’t get me wrong I love beauty and beast and I love Emma Watson. But it is not better than la la land. Beauty and the beast is another remake. La la land is a original. The problem with beauty and the beast is you can’t remake a classic.

diana M it is not about if they won awards. It is about if it a great film. La la land is a great film. Beauty and the beast is good but not the amazing original that is la la land. Beauty and the beast is just a remake that is not better than the original.
Not adding Mamma Mia is truly a shame...
Bestmindofmygeneration ikr ;^;
I love mamma mia
Shame would have been putting a boring movie like Mamma Mia in the list
HOW DO SO MANY OF YOU LIKE MAMMA MIA. IT IS GARBAGE EVEN AS A STAGE SHOW. HOLY FUCKSAUCE.
thats not even just it. MAMMA MIA ISNT ON ANY OF HER LISTS LIKE WTF IM SO PISSED
Anne Hathwaway was breathtaking in Les Misérables.
ultraqueef everyone goes on and on about how she did it all in one take but Broadway performers do it all the time and it's live without autotune
and film actors rarely are brave enough to do it in close up on screen WITHOUT autotune, so.......
Yaaa 😱
I agree completely.
everyone talks about Ann all the time but for me it was Hugh Jackman who made the Film as Jean Valjean
...did you just say Emma Thompson? Unless I'm missing something and she got married, her surname is Watson
+Servals Thompson was in it as well but they did show Watson when they said thompson
Servals preach
Emma Watson played Belle, and Emma Thompson played Mrs. Potts. There are two different Emmas.
Luv2dance1426 she also played Mrs Lovett in the new York philharmonic production of sweeney todd in 2014
Servals Emma Thompson played Mrs. Potts
How La La Land is only #8????
It's not THAT good.
jmmayamedina55 cuz it's their list, not yours, so suck it. Doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.
I’ve never seen it but is really that good?
Should be #1, it was absolute masterwork
@@isaiahadams1996 nah. Try the last 5 years instead
Excuse me but where is Mamma Mia?? :/
That movie is equally loved and hated, so I think this more movie musicals that have more unanimous acclaim.
ZOMBIE UNICORNS It's because it sucks.
ZOMBIE UNICORNS it's because it already is in the other (general) best musicals into film, they don't take them twice..
Because it's painfully boring to watch
Ujjwal Uniyal just like your comment is painfully boring to read. I yawned 6 times while reading your comment.
It's Moulin Rouge, not Moule Rouge. Holy crud!
museumgirl9 It's French, so the "in" at the end of Moulin is pronounced with a nasal "a" sound somewhat like in "and."
I seriously doubted myself when hearing the pronunciation. thank u for putting me back on track.
@@MrJamiesilaban By the way, had it been the Moule Rouge, it would have been "The Red Mussel". Something to think about.
The Greatest Showman, ahem
CY Chow the greatest showman wasn’t out yet when the video was made
I have got dvd of the greatest show man
The Greatest Showman (2017)

10. Pitch Perfect films (2012-2015)
Phantom, Mamma Mia, the Producers and Jersey Boys are all mediocre at best, Enchanted is Disney, and School of Rock isn't really a musical. Pitch perfect 1 is good, and could be in this list, but other than that, none really.
MC Wyman I don't think pitch perfect was really a musical
School of rock isn't a musical, you could replace it with the 2005 Charlie and the chocolate factory
Sean Horace they made a new pitch perfect so put 2012-2017
The Muppets was freaking hysterical! ;)
Wait... Beauty and the Beast above La La Land??? 😂😂😂 no freaking way!
Caleb Brink its the nostalgia for the well known songs I guess. La La Land has really just one really standout song : City of Stars who I had is a great song.
With beauty and beast you just couldn't help sing along all the songs while watching the film because you remember them from 20 years ago. Nostalgia is really a powerful thing.

Clay Flix exactly!
Clay Fllix It may be difficult but It CAN be done, and when It is I honestly find it to be superior to La La Land ( though I do like La La Land)
Where is Phantom of The Opera?!
Y'all need to update this for Greatest Showman
Sweeney Todd needs to be higher!!!!
Where was the greatest showman
And Mamma Mia! The 2008 Musical Romantic Comedy Film? I think it was the best that I've ever seen...
PD: And the Phantom of the Opera was really good too.
mama mia was horrid. ruined the music of ABBA
j-dizzle time . How would it be bad? How this movie would be bad? If it was adapted of the famous Broadway Musical, of the same name, and based on the songs of the successful pop group ABBA?

Just so everyone knows, no. 8 was actually Moonlight. Sorry for the confusion 😀😀
That makes more sense.
The Greatest Showman definitely would've been on this list, had this video been releases 6 months later
this list was terrible...
It's so bad. Like not even funny how bad
ja 123 idk there were a lot of good stuff on this list. ok a lot was missing, but you can’t argue that some of these deserved to be on the list
Honestly I enjoy singing along to the Into The Woods prologue a little too much, especially Red Riding Hood's part
(Cough, cough) The Greatest Showman (cough cough)
I see Emma Watson I click
Well you must update the list... The Greatest Showman 2017?
The last five years??? YESSSSSSS it's sooo underrated I'm so happy it's at least an honorable mention I'm obsessed with that movie😊
I wish it were #1
Irena Connelly same
Mh list, is only top 3
#1 The Greatest Showman
#2 Beauty and The Beast
#3 hairspray
#4 Greece
#5 ( dknt know if this counts ) Descendants
Mmm... missing: The Greatest Showman (loved it!) Jersey Boys... Mamma Mía! and there are some more, but I’m halfway asleep...
@@machiseminario3302 the greatest showman wasn't made when this vid came out lol
My top 8 list is:
1: Mamma Mia 1/2
2: Billy Elliot Live
3: Hairspray
4: The sound of music
5: Grease
6: Mary poppins 1/2
7: Boheamian Rapsody
8: Beauty and the beast
How did Phantom of the Opera (2004) not make the list?
Because it's a terrible movie.
Hewy Toonmore It is the first adaptation I watched of the musical. I have watched the 25th anniversary with Ramin and Sierra and prefer it over the movie. The movie isn't perfect but it introduced me to the musical which I love.
Erika B, when I first watched this, I was like: "I SMELL PHANTOM!"
Wacky_Writer's World Apparently MsMojo didn't smell it 😂
Most people don't like that film version.
You missed some.
Mama Mia
Phantom of the Opera
The greatest showman
Enchanted
Ect...
Mamma Mia? Burlesque? Dreamgirls? anyone?
Owen Sheehan Burlesque...maybe...
Olive Summers I think it's because they're "jukebox" musical that take songs away from pop culture and better musicals.
Burlesque is a piece of shit
Thanks to the greatest showman we deserve a redux of this list.
Really it was that good, I never thought a musical as good as Moulin Rouge would ever come and then I saw The greatest showman with amazing songs, perfect singing and dancing and big musical numbers.
It’s a musical that will make you leave the theater with a smile on your face.
ok here my top 10
I'm expanding the criteria of what counts as modern day including the 90s and animated films .
1 Moulin Rouge
2 The Greatest Showman
3 Chicago
4 Beauty and the beast( animated version)
5 The Lion King
6 Rock of Ages
7 Burlesque
8 Mamma Mia
9 Enchanted
10 Frozen
We need a Wicked movie!
staciemwahhaha yasss
staciemwahhaha There's one coming
A movie version of Wicked is supposed to come in 2019.
YES!!! ;D
there's one coming!
If this was made in 2018, The Greatest Showman would be number 1
Not even by far sweetie
sassybassy never😂
this called for an update
Where's the greatest showman
I Love Sweeny Todd, Chicago, Hairspray
But I miss in that list the movies Mamma Mia, Beautiful Girl (2003) and of course my favourite musical all the way: The Phantom of the opera!
I agree! Where is Mamma Mia???
The Greatest Showman COUGH COUGH
sweeny todd should have been at least top 3
What about mamma Mia?? But definitely agree with no1 one of my fav movies ever
This list should be redone now that The Greatest Showman is out!
Not having mamma mia and hairspray only being #4 is a disgrace
Now we can add The Greatest Showman
THE GREATEST SHOWMAANNNNNN
if this video had just been made a little later I bet The Greatest Showman would've gotten a spot on here
Ummmmmm where the heck is The Greatest Showman I call recount
La La Land and Dreamgirls should be in the top three!!!
I'm just happy Rent made it on here. Honestly, I didn't expect it to make the list. I don't know many people who are familiar with it, or even know it exists.
I just finished watching it Again! So many rewatches! I love it so much!
Mamma Mia?
High school musical?
The Greatest Showman?
This list sucks
Yeah. Chicago being 4 places under Les Mis was a huge mistake.
Les Mis being in the top 10 at all was a huge mistake
les mis is amazing!
I beg to differ bitch
Beauty and the beast is so wonderful. But seriously, only an honourable mention for Dream Girls, with oscar and golden globe wins, and NO mamma Mia or phantom of the opera? I hope you've made a second list here!
Nope. Nope nope nope nope. Nu-uh. Wrong. Sweeney Todd should be SOOO much higher up this list, as should Chicago. I would've even put Moulin Rouge a little higher. And Les Miz should not be #1. Rent is an amazing show, but the movie version isn't that great. What's good about it is it kept much of the musical intact, except the recitative parts, which were sadly cut. I really didn't like Once, and La La Land is completely overrated. I also think Enchanted deserved at least an honorable mention... unless it wasn't included because it's Disney? But Sweeney shoulda been way higher.
Renée Camus this is the only comment I’ve found where I’ve agreed completely to every idea/opinion. THIS ^^^
Yay! Thanks Alexandra. Good to know I have backup. :)
Into The Woods
Maybe phantom should have been on this list?
I believe this will need to be updated now that The Greatest Showman has made a huge splash!
Rock of ages, Mama Mia, phantom of the opera, high school musical
Alexandra Rodriguez I like high school musical too, but it's Disney, and she said that she doesn't include them. But I would like her to make a list for Disney musicals.
PLs bring out the "The Greatest Showman" it changed my life since I watched it
Hairspray was my fav❤️😭😂
La la land was so overated. 3 songs in the first 30 minutes and then only 2 more in the next hour and a half.
And now we have The greatest showman😍
I love les mis. So much. But my question is WHY THE FUCK IS PHANTOM OF THE OPERA NOT ON THIS????? ITS NOT EVEN ON THE HONORABLE MENTIONS!!! LES MIS IS MY FAVORITE MUSICAL FOLLOWED BY PHANTOM!! UGHHHHHH SO TRIGGERED
Sweeney Todd shouldn't be so low on the list! That's one of my all time favorite musicals!
OK...other musical theatre humans will probably back me up here....BUT HOW DID BEAUTY AND THE BEAST MAKE IT ON THE LOST AND NOT THE LAST 5 YEARS. WHAT IS THIS MADNESS. I'M SO ANNOYED RIGHT NOW
I agree with the number 1 pick, but I really missed Mamma Mia!
Beauty And The Beast 2017 is one of the worst modern movie musicals its just a remake that doesn’t understand what made the original so beloved
the movies on this list are great but they are misplaced, great collection though!
hairspray was filmed close to my parents house
Hairspray is the best musical ever
I guess The Greatest Showman is too new for this list (otherwise it totally would've been mentioned somewhere on this list, I guarantee it)
The greatest Showman will be my no.1 😊 its just fantastic
No Phantom of the Opera????? Really?!?!?!?!
Scotti Brown it's because of Girard butlers performance it wasn't that good, plus it was a Joel Schumacher film. It wasn't well edited and barely anyone could sing. It's definitely a movie that needs a remake
Austin Persing you do realize that Andrew Lloyd Webber auditioned the actors himself and basically had the final say on who got what part.
Scotti Brown It's a bad movie. Gerald can't sing and the acting from the main actors was mediocre at best. I may not like the Broadway show but even I can see that the Broadway show was a lot better than the movie.
The guy who played phantom couldn't sing.
sarah gattis if they had done it in the same vein of Chicago 😀
High school musical, the phantom of the opera (2004), mamma Mia, newsies, cinderella (2015) was pretty good, pitch perfect
Honestly i thought The Greatest Showman was going to be in here but guess what it is not in here ;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;
WHERE WAS PHANTOM OF THE OPERA????????????????????????
I rather agree with most of this list. PERFECT BECAUSE LES MIS IS NUMBER ONE!
But...There's just one thing I must correct...
WRONG! The highlight of Les miserables is not Anne's version of I Dreamed a Dream, but every single second Aaron is on screen
Bailey Bieganek Oh my god Aaron yes!!!!
WhiteRebeldeAngel hehe of course. Aaron of course
3:38
Missed opportunity: won seven-no six Oscars
Where the fuck was Phantom Of The Opera???!!!!!
Hairspray is my favvvv. Perfect casting imo for all the characters
Hairspray fan here
The Sound of Music
Evita
The Greatest Showman
So glad Once made it on the list, it's a great story with hauntingly beautiful songs. This is definitely a must watch for those who haven't seen it!
It wasn’t 1980 Les Miz debuted on stage it was 1985...
I really do agree with this list but where's The Phantom of the Opera (2004)?
Off the list where it belongs
Ethan Butler they had that in their other list on watchmojo
It's not a good adaptation of the stage production.
Pitch Perfect definitely should be on the list
Where is Phantom of the Opera?! Rigged.
Who y'all there watched this because of the greatest showman
#1: The Greatest Showman
I think the High School Musical franchise helped re-popularize the genre with a much younger audience. regardless of whether you think the actors are cheesy and the story cliched, you can't deny the catchyness of the songs. And while Chicago and LesMiserable might've been the first Musicals in a while to win Oscars, School of Rock had a massive impact and gained a cult-status and most likely influenced High School Musical in the same way
Christo Abrie High School Musical partially got me into theatre
Across the Universe is a wonderful movie! Definitely deserved a spot on this list!
Redo this and put in the greatest showman, mama Mia and all the Pitch Perfects
Yes! I absolutely love Beauty and the Beast!! It’s one of my favorite Disney movies ever since I was a kid.
How is GREASE & FAME not in this list. Those are cultural iconic films. Les Miserables is a great Broadway play but did not nowhere the impact of those two
films. WOW!!!!
Yes!! Thank you for mentioning Across the Universe!! Such a brilliant movie 😍
I agree with Rent and Les Mis taking the top spots, but...
1. I thought you said "no Disney musicals". Why is the Live Action "Beauty and the Beast" even on there if it was co-produced by Disney and it's almost a verbatim remake of the original?
2. Emma Watson was terrible as a singer in the movie, and was so auto-tuned and overproduced to make her sound good, she sounded robotic for half of the movie. Why include a musical where the supposed star was out-shined by her cast?
3. Where is "Mamma Mia!" and "Phantom of the Opera"? "Rock of Ages" is also amazing.
4. "Dreamgirls" really only got an honourable mention?
Repo! The genetic Opera!!!!
jordynliketheriver What no.
Yes! I friggen love Repo! Although I actually prefer The Devil's Carnival and it's sequel a bit, just speaking personally, Repo's probably a bit more solid. And say it with me: Zydrate comes in a little glass vial!
A LITTLE GLASS VIAL!?
Phoenix Blackblood A LITTLE GLASS VIAL!
Raye J AND THE LITTLE GLASS VIAL GOES INTO THE GUN LIKE A BATTERY
I can’t believe they point out that “modern movie musicals have a tendency to attract big names in spades but limited singing range” and in the same list, praise Beauty and the Beast (Emma Watson, Emma Thompson) and Les Mis (Russell freakin Crowe). The hypocrisy. This might be the worst Watch Mojo list I’ve seen in awhile.
This list was too early. The greatest showman would easily make this list now
LOL this list is trash. The rent movie was a critical and public failure for a reason. 30 year olds singing about not wanting to pay their rent was laughable at the time. Beauty and the beast cast a lead that can’t sing.
Are you serious, Rent #2? And how can Dreamgirls just be an honorable mention, and did you forget Enchanted and Mamma Mia? This list is so wrong.
