 | Singin' in the Rain (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $10.73 Many consider it the best musical of all time. I have to agree.

 | The Wizard of Oz (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy used from: $11.99 No need to comment since everyone has seen it!
|
 | Young at Heart
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $7.25 Sinatra's best role, though not Oscar-nominated. His scenes with Ethel Barrymore are especially memorable. Not sure it's really a musical, though some call it one.But I'll take the excuse to recommend my fave Sinatra movie.
|
 | Lady and the Tramp (50th Anniversary Edition)
Buy used from: $15.99 I recently added this to this list. I only realized later that this movie, though animated, is also a musical. Not only can I tolerate it, but it made my List of GREAT SCREEN ROMANCES(See my Listmania)
|
 | The Marx Brothers Silver Screen Collection (The Cocoanuts / Animal Crackers / Monkey Business / Horse Feathers / Duck Soup)
Buy new: $28.49 / Used from: $23.95 Most of the Marx Brothers movies are musicals, usually enjoyable despite that, not because of it (unless the song is performed by Groucho).

 | Roy Rogers 20 Movie Pack (4 DVD)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $7.37 Roy Rogers was a terrific musical performer, more easily appreciated by watching his movies than listening to CDs. In fact, the music was often the best part of his films, which were pretty much aimed at kids really, B movies at best, except for a few. He had a cool manner onscreen, though. Still one of my few heroes, for his onscreen persona, music, his personal life and faith.

 | Victor/Victoria
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $9.23 Tolerable. I didn't want to run for the exit. Lesley Ann Warren is very good(Best Supporting Actress nomination).
|
 | Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney Special Platinum Edition)
Buy used from: $9.45 Another enjoyable animated feature that is also somewhat of a musical. The first animated feature film, if I recall correctly.
|
 | Walk the Line (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $1.11 I know, it's not REALLY a musical. The characters don't sing except when it's a scripted on-stage performance. It's an interesting film but I was disappointed because it only covered up to the early 70's and because the role of Christ in Cash's character development was only superficially portrayed.
