My Top 10 Musicals


A Hard Day's Night (1964)

1. A Hard Day's Night (1964)

A 'typical' day in the life of the Beatles (John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr), including an even dozen of their famous songs. The greatest rock & roll comedy adventure ever filmed. Vintage Beatles.


2. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1966)

A wily slave (Zero Mostel) must unite a virgin courtesan (Annette Andre) and his young smitten master (Michael Crawford) to earn his freedom. Directed by Richard Lester, who also directed my #1 pick.

Yellow Submarine (1968)

3. Yellow Submarine (1968)

The cartoon Beatles agree to accompany Captain Fred in his Yellow Submarine and go to Pepperland to free it from the music hating Blue Meanies. Although the band had nothing to do with the actual film or voice-overs, they do put in a 30 second cameo at the very end of the movie.


4. Grease (1978)

The friendships, romances, and adventures of a group of high school kids in the 1950s. Olivia Newton-John, John Travolta, Jeff Connaway, Didi Conn, Stockard Channing and Dinah Manoff star.
