AFI's 100 Years of Musicals


Yesterday, we watched (for the 10th or so times) Moulin Rouge! upon the request of Andrea. I also found out that it is included in the American Film Institute's 100 Years of Musicals. It ranked 25th. The only other musical from 2000-present to be included in that list is Chicago at 12th position.

The top 10 are:

1.Singin' in the Rain
2. West Side Story
3. The Wizard of Oz
4. The Sound of Music
5. Cabaret
6. Mary Poppins
7. A Star is Born
8. My Fair Lady
9. An American in Paris
10. Meet Me in St. Louis
