I don't know about the rest, but I'm betting Trap and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes take the top two spots.
The MoFo Top 100 Musicals Countdown
→ in Movie Reviews
Last chance now to guess the order of the top 10 before I post #10.
To put an end to the speculation, I can confirm that Footloose received zero points from being on zero lists.

I’ve seen Hearts Beat Loud, Repo!, and The Commitments. I might have also seen Winnie the Pooh but not sure. No votes.

Anyways, I know we have 10 left but I really have like the unpredictability of this list order. Even if La La was upset and didn't make the top 10.
I have to be the first guy to bring this up but I usually am, what we thinking next? A 90s redux? Sports? Films not on any lists?

Just seen Pooh, Annette, and Buster Scruggs of the near misses. Winnie is the only that I liked really of the 3 and that's all childhood nostalgia.

Nice to see that The Commitments came so close to making the cut. The was my favorite movie for many years.
I wasn't sure if it's actually a musical, so I didn't put it on my ballot. It very well could have made the cut if I had done so...(wipes tear). At least those other Irish quasi-musicals did so well (Sing Street and Once, my #10 and #18 picks).

Oh goodness! My top 10 would be so off I'm sure since I already missed the boat with The Rocky Horror Picture Show and La La Land, both of which I was sure would make the top five... again, I'm not displeased about that as neither made my ballot, but I'm horrible at guessing apparently.
Instead of being ambitious for the top 10, I will just guess the top three:
1. The Lion King
2. The Wizard of Oz
3. Singin' in the Rain

The male lead just infuriated me to the point where I had to watch the movie in half hour increments. But it's a good story with a nicely vague ending. Didn't make my ballot, and certainly not Cukor's best, but kudos to the guy for making at least two entries on our list.

YEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH BUDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
My Fair Lady made the top 10!! That's what I was hoping for. Good work MoFo. It was my number one and honestly, it's not even close for me. It's not even a photo finish or neck and neck. It's a whole lap of the track first place finish. My Fair Lady leaves every other musical in the dust and it's such a perfect, beautiful, intelligent, and audience demanding musical that's so thematically and philosophically rich and every single bit of music is just gorgeous and lively and so well written. Lerner and Loewe absolutely eat Rodgers and Hammerstein for breakfast. It's just loverly and damn perfect is all.
More later when I get time to do a proper writeup. If there is any other movie that has challenged my Top 10 of All Time films, period, list it's My Fair Lady and my love for it only grows each new time I see it.

I have an odd history with My Fair Lady. I randomly watched it on TV with a friend many years ago and weirdly liked it. I bought the DVD, watched it again, and still liked it. Then a few years ago I rewatched it, absolutely hated it, and gave away the DVD.
I considered rewatching it for this countdown but then I saw that it is almost 3 hours long and said "Nope."
