1. Oklahoma!
The Agnes DeMille choreography was fantastic. A beautiful looking film, as well.

3. I said Fiddler on the Roof
Now, my favorite musical is Les Miserable, but I didn't like the movie.

5. "My Fair Lady", hands down. "The Music Man" is a *very* close second.
And other great ones: "1776", "Chicago", "Little Shop of Horrors"

6. I love many of the choices that people have given, but voted for OLIVER
To me it has the best score of them all.
