The MoFo Top 100 Musicals Countdown

Fantasia was my number 4. I knew it was the one as soon as I saw the posts, and Thursday even messaged me about its legitimacy before I had the chance to embarrass myself by openly asking the question on the thread. Excellent timing.


Young Girls of Rochefort didn't make my ballot, but it came close. I was interested in finally seeing it on one of our official lists, though.

Haven't seen any of these, although I think I've seen most of Fantasia in bits and pieces.


SEEN: 19/66
MY BALLOT: 7/25

Some of the latest reveals not on my list:

#42 - An American in Paris (1951)
Saw it specially for the countdown. It is just meh, considerably dated.

#40 - Sing Street (2016)
Saw this movie when it came out because it was included in the awards season. It is OK, some nice moments...

#39 - Nashville (1975)
It was briefly on my watch list when I scanned Robert Altman's works about ten years ago. Couldn't get to it.

#36 - The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967)
I planned to see this film for the countdown but couldn't find it.

I've only seen like three classic Disney animated movies and all of them because they were nominated in different HoFs. As I've said so many times before, I did not grow up with Disney and only seen those few classics as an adult. I liked them sorta.

Fantasia is great and I would put it with Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid on a short list of animated Disney films... for my money, that would be worthy of a top 100 musical films list.

I’ve seen Fantasia, but did not vote for it.

Not seen the other one.

I finally watched The Young Girls of Rochefort for this countdown. I didn't love it but I loved enough about it to give it 2 points.

I'm not crazy about Fantasia.

5. Charlotte's Web (#79)
7. Stingray Sam (#46)
10. The Lure (#51)
14. A Star is Born 2018 (#43)
15. Sing Street (#40)
17. Calamity Jane (#84)
20. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (#66)
21. A Star is Born 1954 (#67)
23. Pink Floyd - The Wall (#41)
24. The Young Girls of Rochefort (#36)
25. 42nd Street (#76)

I said before that Sing Street was the one film I wanted to see for this countdown, but I guess a second one would have been The Young Girls of Rochefort.

I think it's fine to call Fantasia a musical but I just don't like it that much, although I appreciate the attempt to do something a bit different.
