if joaquin is singin', then it's a musical
i hate when people think movies like walk the line or ray aren't musicals. of course they're musicals. they sing like the entire movie. but i hate both of those movies. probably because they're musicals. and if you're going to make a musical, it better be fuckin great.
here are my favorite musicals:
singin' in the rain
dancer in the dark
night of the hunter
west side story
42nd street

can we get a shout out for "Umbrellas of Cherbourg", the most musical of all musicals. They don't talke a single word in the whole thing.
Also, the art direction is worth not hating it for.

since i like over-the-top musicals, i'll put paint your wagon on my list, but not ahead of singin' in the rain.
here's why singin' in the rain is great:
(1) it doesn't make any sense
(2) it's the most self-aware movie i've ever seen
(3) the main guy is so insecure he's ready to commit suicide when some girl tells him his pictures are't that great
(4) the songs are crazy and great
(5) the technicolor makes me think i'm watching an archers movie
(6) the long section in the middle where they talk about women's fashio for no reason
and finally (7) the pay-off at the end where the two of them look at a billboard of the movie they're in.
so you're an idiot greg.

also, there is that time where he sings, in the rain.
RE: Umbrellas of C.B.
Astute observation about the women, but keep in mind this:
women were generally worthless, according to history, until at LEAST the late 70's.
Don't blame the movie, blame history.
I mean if the movie was Spaceships of Cherbourg then you would see Women on level fields with the men, shaking robotic arms and hovercrafting all over the place.
Plus, I though it should be mentioned because of all of the "Greg's Anatomy Fans" who don't even know who Catherine Denueve is.
