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

By that token, is Magnolia a musical when they all sing along to Aimee Mann? Not for me, Clive. 

I'd say yes. Same as Rocky IV is a sci-fi film because of the Robot that Paulie fucks.

No, because it's great.

That’s not science fiction, that’s science fact.

Rocky IV is a porn flick, sign up at brazzers to see Paulie's pop shot on his robot step-mum.

One of my Exs was really into musicals, everything from Chicago, Buddy:Cast Recording, The King and I  Moulin Rouge, Mary Poppins etcetc. 

It was depressing as all hell. 

I understand why people like them, but not for me, Clive.

if I had to pick a few  then Little Shop of Horrors, Blues Brothers, South Park and A Star is Born (Gaga/Cooper version )  however tend to avoid musicals like the plague where I can

Regards Blues Brothers, Shake Your Tailfeather is one hundred percent a musical number as well

A film about music but not a musical.

[Steve Justice]

I'm not a big lover of them, but I am fond of Oliver, Little Shop of Horrors and The Producers. I also really enjoyed The Greatest Showman, but mostly as a spectacle. 

Does Labyrinth count as a musical?

The Producers (film) isn't a musical.

Although the other The Producers, which is a film of the musical of the film, is a musical.

I'm not going to argue with Odeon who called it as a musical https://www.odeon.co.uk/odeon-scene/a-star-is-born/

Its listed as a musical most other places with diegetic musical being wheeled out for others http://www.drurymirror.org/2018/10/12/in-honor-of-a-star-is-born-an-analysis-of-diegetic-musical-movies/

So I'm sticking with musical.

You haven't been this wrong since you called Westworld a horror film.

[King Coconut]

If Pat can have that I want Back to the Future. 

[lanky316]

Back to the Future is now a musical! It sounds absolutely horrific, although I'm sure it can't be worse than "Bruce" about the mechanical shark that kept malfunctioning while making Jaws... Almost think I'd prefer straight up Jaws - The Musical to that!

Cool, I'm glad you're not afraid to voice your opinion, however  I'd really appreciate you not  trying to gaslight mine. 

To me Westworld is a horror https://www.joblo.com/the-test-of-time-westworld-1973-292/ and A Star is Born is a musical. 

You dont agree, that's fine  however quite capable of having my own views ta. 

Ps Musicals are Shit.
