Want to know the best Top 100 Musicals movies? How about the worst Top 100 Musicals movies? Curious about Top 100 Musicals box office grosses or which Top 100 Musicals movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Top 100 Musicals movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information…and alot more.
Over the years we have received many requests to do UMR pages on genres. Besides doing a Sports movie page we have pretty much ignored those requests. We ignored those requests because we could not figure out a way to put together a page on a whole genre. Recently we stumbled across a book called Musicals by Daniel Cohen. In that book Cohen looked at the best of the best musicals from the 1920s to the mid 1980s. At the end of the book was a filmography of all the movies in his book. That seemed like a great starting point for us to finally do a UMR page on musicals. Here are rules we used when putting together this page.
(1) If Cohen listed the movie in his book…the movie made the page. (2) Although we are not really huge musical movie fans….a few of the musicals we actually like….did not make his book. So we added our favorite musicals like Paint Your Wagon (Clint singing…. how did that not make the book?) and The Rocky Horror Picture show. (3) Then we included movie musicals made after Cohen’s book was published. (4) We did not include Biopics. Yes movies like The Buddy Holly Story, Coal Miner’s Daughter and La Bamba have lots of music but almost all of it occurs on a stage or in a studio. (5) We also did not include album movies like Purple Rain and Pink Floyd’s The Wall or most of the Disney animated classics….with the exception of Beauty and The Beast which was on every Best Musical Movie list we saw. (6) In the end we actually ended up with way more than 100 movies….279 to be precise. So since we researched them….we figured we would include them. (7) Can’t find a musical on the table? If it was before 1984….it is not our fault….you have to blame Daniel Cohen. If the movie is made after 1984….then we will take the blame. BUT….leave a comment detailing the missing movie…..and we will include it. Enjoy!

270 movies! Wow! So is this your biggest list of films so far Bruce? I think every noteworthy musical is on here. Incredible.
I’ve counted 152 films seen, that’s 41 up from my last count when you had 216 films listed. I may have missed a few. Flora is still way ahead. The only chance of beating Flora is when you eventually get round to a sci-fi or horror movie page. 🙂
Good to see Singin’ in the Rain topping the critics chart and another top favorite, West Side Story tops the UMR chart.
I like the search box on top of the chart box, comes in very useful on a list this size.
Excellent work amigo. Voted Up!
Hey Steve….and the number keeps going up. I am thinking the more movies added to the page…the bigger lead Flora has over you. The search and sort buttons are vital for this page. I have been using it all day. Singin’ In The Rain….is hanging on to that top spot…..not thinking anything is going to dethrone it.
Thanks for a wonderful post ,Bruce.Very interesting!
Hey Cristina….thanks for such nice words. Glad you found it interesting.
Singin’ in the Rain and The Sound of Music….can’t choose
Hey John…..it is a tough call…..to me it is Singin In the Rain….I like movies that go behind the doors of Hollywood. Thanks for stopping by.

So 9 to research….1 to include (Dancing Lady)….with 9 cracking the Top 100…..thanks for the movie suggestions…you are the man!
Wait a sec Bruce are you saying a lot of these were already on the page? Where was I looking? Pretty sure Goodbye Mr Chips, Million Dollar Mermaid, Les Girls, Scrooge and others weren’t there when I was making the list, you did have them in strict alphabetical order? Or was Les Girls listed as Girls, Les? The Million Dollar Mermaid?
I see you’ve added 30 more, were they from my list?
I added in 34 movies from the list you gave me. I Married An Angel was the only one from your list that was already on there. So the movie tally went from 224 before your comment to 258 after your comment. Got 5 more of your movies that I am about to put in the page. Trying to get them in before I go to work.
I see. I got confused when you said they were already on the database, you meant the main database of every rated film. When you’ve finished I’ll check my tally again.
I would recommend adding a couple of more Elvis films, Blue Hawaii, GI Blues and Viva Las Vegas were very popular and King Creole is one of his most highly rated films. Cheers. Excellent work sorting all this out. There’s no page like this on the net.
Got 5 more in. Help! sits at 42nd……Oh, What A Lovely War sits at 102nd…..Dancing Lady sits at 150th……Jupiter’s Darling sits at 210th….and Varsity Show is 251st.
Sorry for the confusion….yes…I meant to say that those movies were all ready in the main database. And yes I would give the King more credit….and add in the ones you suggested. All the Elvis movies are already in the database….so it will not take much to get them in too.
Ok…Steve…let’s see just added in the list of the ones you suggested. King Creole is 40th, Viva Las Vegas is 111th, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is 152nd, G.I. Blues is 175th, Blue Hawaii is 190th, Easy to Love is 219th and Belle of the Yukon is 262nd. Once again..thanks for all of the suggestions.
No Godspell?
Hey Rick….well at the time there was no Godspell…..but after reading your comment…Godspell is now listed in the table….sitting in 145th place. Wow I did not know Victor Garber was making movies in the early 1970s. FYI Godspell was the 94th biggest box office hit of 1973.
