OMG. Sound of music should be in the top 5 at least, if not number 1. I'm sure it's one of the most viewed movie musicals of all time and it only just fell out of the domestic top 100 most viewed list (after 40 years)...

I can't believe they put South Part on there...

Thanks for posting

Amanda isn't the best singer but she does have a decent voice.

South Park is way too high, The Wizard of Oz is #1 as it should be, it's great to see Hairspray on there, and I agree, The Sound of Music should be ranked higher too because it's one of the best movie musicals of all time, in my opinion.

Nice to see Hairspray on the list, it deserves it. Theres a lot I dont agree with the list on, look at Grease way down there.

sparky · 04-08-2008, 04:17 AM

^I have to agree with you. How can they leave an all time classic like Grease out of the top ten, and have South Park ahead of it by a mile? I've seen South Park, but I never even thought of it as a musical.

Anyway, I think it's great that Amanda was part of a movie like this. Just to get on the list while the movie is still pretty new is impressive. It's right up there with all the classics.

I agree, Grease should be higher, I didn't notice that before.
