    Yes, this does include Musicals, but it is so, so much more than that!

    Any film that deals with or primarily features music, musicians, musical themes, etc and genres from biopics (Amadeus, Respect, Rocketman etc) to comedy (Almost Famous, High Fidelity, Empire Records etc), mockumentaries (Spinal Tap, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping etc) to animated features (all those Disney movies etc), movies based on albums (The Wall, Tommy, Slade on Fire etc) and that is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, and other movies that has a soundtrack that is built into the actual narrative of the film (think Guardians ofthe Galaxy, Baby Driver etc) - but not just music/songs that the movie is set to/uses. I get that straight up musicals are not everyone's taste, but this is about so, so much more than that. :)

    Anyhow, even if you're not sure for now, keep an open mind and check out the list of nominated films when this stage is completed and you may find yourselves able to chip in with ranking a few. I know you guys like music, don't say you don't because, well fpr instamce, Scotia how many BotB's have you won? lol :)

    I'm in the Spinal Tap camp as well for number one spot, but I do also like me a bit of Gilbert & Sullivan and I'm not ashamed about looking for brownie points.

    You better have sat right through that nightmare, lol. That is for those of us who have earned the right to have suffered that, lol... although found an even worse musical... Annette, wuth Adam Driver... that was truly terrible and would gladly sit through Cats again than sit through that again... only because Cats was shorter, lol

    I’ve listed quite a few musicals that I’ve seen live in the theatre before seeing the movie. The movies never seem to work as well but Cats was particularly bad- embarrassing.
    Never seen Annette but it must be seriously bad if it’s worse than Cats.

    Never went to the live theatre for Cats, just at the movies. I can't see but was sititng on the aisle near the entrance so could tell when people were leaving... 12 walked out. only 3 others in the screening made it to the end, as when it ended heard one guy say... We made it! and a woman laugh, and a different woman's voice ask if i needed help,so know there were only 3 others that sat all the way through.

    My daughter likes the theatre though, so have had to take her to Wicked, Avenue Q and bunch of others, going to Book of Mormon in like 3 weeks in Glasgow.

    I can recommend Cadillac Records. It's a great take on the history of Chess Records.
    Music is top notch, and you don't need to be a blues fanatic to enjoy it!

    Aye, can’t stand the * either. Avoid at all costs especially if Whoopi Goldberg is involved.
