Seen both and didn't like either. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers had promise and then faded.
The MoFo Top 100 Musicals Countdown

Seen Yellow Submarine. Didn't think of it for the countdown.
Obviously the music's great, so that accounts for something, but I also don't do drugs so I can't really recommend the trip.

Holy cow.
I just assumed Seven Brides For Seven Brothers would be top-20 if not top-10.
My first absolute shock of the countdown.
I had it at No.10, fwiw.

I haven't seen either of these movies.
I lost interest in Woody Allen after Manhattan. Though I did really like that one with Cate Blanchett as the social climber on the down-a-later.

Stats: Pit Stop #3
Now that we've hit the second pit stop (70), here are some stats:
Decade Breakdown
- 1920s = 0
- 1930s = 3
- 1940s = 2
- 1950s = 6
- 1960s = 3
- 1970s = 2
- 1980s = 3
- 1990s = 3
- 2000s = 2
- 2010s = 4
- 2020s = 2
As was expected, the 1950s continue rolling with three more on this latest batch for a lead of 6 entries. The 1960s also have a strong showing with 2 more, with a pretty level rest.
Recurring Directors
- Stanley Donen = 2
- Vincente Minnelli = 2
This latest batch also gave us our first two repeating directors in Vincente Minnelli (Gigi and The Band Wagon) and Stanley Donen (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and On the Town)
We also have had 5 animated films so far.

Ah - another from my list. It's been a while!
72. Yellow Submarine (1968) - Nearly everything the Beatles touched turned to gold (I say nearly because I watched their Magical Mystery Tour special - probably the only thing Beatles-related I could really think poorly of) and Yellow Submarine is a fantabulous creation. The mix of psychedelic animation and brilliant music is charming and the kooky story like something from a dream. It's funny and it's heart is in a wonderfully pure and innocent place (oh, for some of that innocence and love in today's world!) The sheer bizarreness of some of the visuals is thrilling because of how much there is to see and how strikingly uncanny it all is. I love it, so of course it needed to make my musicals ballot - I had it at #22.
71. Seven Brides For Seven Brothers (1954) - I've been avoiding this musical my whole life. Who knows, maybe it's time I gave it a go. I'm put off a little by how unnaturally cheery it appears to be - but I'm slowly gaining an appreciation for well choreographed song and dance in musicals of old.

I successfully predicted the future as I haven't seen these films either.
