100 BEST MUSICAL MOVIES OF ALL TIME

The Wizard of Oz celebrates its 85th anniversary!

If you’ve got a song in your heart, we’ve got a list for your eyes: The
best-reviewed musicals from Wizard of Oz to La La Land! With Lin-Manuel
Miranda’s In the Heights finally making the leap from Broadway to screen, we’ve
put together 100 showstoppers that’s all-singing, all-dancing!

Every expression of the musical movie is present in this cavalcade of the 100
best-reviewed: the classics (All That Jazz, The Sound of Music), the mostly
moderns (La La Land, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, Mary Poppins Returns), the
MGMs (Singin’ in the Rain, An American in Paris), the Astaire & Rogers (Top Hat,
Swing Time), intimate indies (Once, Dancer in the Dark), and stuff for the kids
(Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang). We kept this
countdown to live-action musicals, so nothing animated except for the partially
so, like Mary Poppins.

And we picked movies where people break into song and dance, not ones where they
just perform music; in other words, Crazy Heart, Bohemian Rhapsody, and the 2018
A Star Is Born don’t work for this list, but the Judy Garland A Star Is Born
does. Recently, we’ve added Wonka, The Color Purple, and Flora and Son. Then, we
sorted all the movies by Tomatometer, with Certified Fresh films first.

And now it’s time for the big showstopper: The 100 Best Musical Movies of All
Time!
