Nomination list for the AFI 100 Greatest Musicals - who is your favorite
http://www.afi.com/docs/tvevents/pdf/musicals_ballot.pdf

All the standards are nominated including all the Disney Cartoon musicals. Some interesting nominations include: "Hedgewig and the Angry Inch", "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut" and even "Dick Tracy"

So what do you think are the best musicals out there?

14. #170...these guys were involved a little bit


The "America" rooftop choreography and singing is one of the greatest musical productions ever committed to film. In 70 MM it took one's breath away.
