I'm sure we had a thread about musicals being rubbish before...

Actually, Team America: World Police is alright.

Labyrinth might actually be a musical. It certainly meets the shit criteria. Although that being said I don’t mind the odd musical. Dirty Dancing being a lifelong guilty pleasure despite Swayze’s Johnny being a bit noncey with a young girl called Baby.

Dirty Dancing (the film) isn’t a musical, it’s very soundtrack heavy. It’s also shit.

Not going to lie, I absolutely love Dirty Dancing.

Strictly Ballroom is a million times better than Dirty Dancing.

One does spring to mind: I do like Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. Now, that's in spite of the music, but it's a musical nonetheless.

I would be intrigued by a version that cuts out the musical numbers.

EDIT: Fucking hell. Better do it myself.

It's amazing how as you get older you fucking start to hate Grandpa Joe the workshy, grabbing, Des Lynam looking bastard.

They are doing a Willy Wonka prequel with Timotei Chalet in the lead and it can fuck off because Paul King chose to direct it rather than Paddington 3. Cunt.

This intersects beautifully with the "Things you know will be shit" thread. A prequel, I ask you.

Given how much trouble he had getting out of bed, I dread to think what the toilet set-up must be. They must be swimming in tods.

Fine. Dirty Dancing is shit for being set in the 60’s but featuring music from the 80’s. Stick to the time ffs.

He was quick enough to stop his pensioner orgy when he got a free bus trip out. And he nearly fucked it up for Charlie. Although Charlie was a drip. Me, I'm all about Veruca Salt. Her dad was Roy Kinnear and Roy Kinnear was ace. 

 

In fact the ending should have been Willy Wonka giving Roy Kinnear the factory and telling him to stay away from horses.

I'm sure I read that Patrick Swayze wanted "She's like the Wind" on the soundtrack of everything he was in during the 80s.

If we’ve established one scene can make a film into a musical, does that mean Team America can be considered a porno?

In the Dirty Dancing Universe they don’t hear the contemporary music, that’s for the kids at home and it’s all the better for it. She’s Like the Wind is a banger.

That’s, what his heart, yearns for now.
