So, do you disagree with any of the choices? What’s missing? What’s overrated? Which is your favorite “line” of movies?
It looks like the “musicals” line hit Amadeus and fell off a cliff. Amadeus is fictional history with some music. It is not a musical. And while Singin’ in the Rain is arguably a movie musical, where are the definitive movies of musicals, like Chicago? (And probably the upcoming Les Mis, too.)
And what city did the landmark holiday films get farmed off to? White Christmas and Miracle on 34th Street?
And last, because a list like this will create more division than unity, Arsenic and Old Lace was a hot mess on screen. It works as a stage show and should have been left alone, even with Clark Gable and Peter Lorre.
I agree that Amadeus is a history about musical composition (and envy, and leadership) not a “musical” per se. Well said.
I was in the play Arsenic and Old Lace–so naturally I agree with your last point. 🙂
This is brilliant. Love the movies in bold that cross genres. I’d take The Incredibles off and put Beauty and The Beast in. And I’d do that without a second thought. 🙂
Well played. I enjoy incredibles more–but B&theB is stellar. I was sure it was on here, and looked… but it’s not… that’s a miss. One of the classics.
Oh! And where dark and weird drama meets comedy I’d put “punch drunk love”
