What about the precursor to MTV. "Tommy , the Movie". ? Come on, Jack Nicholson singing, Elton of 4 foot doc Martins, Tina Turner morphing into an Iron Maiden and chocolate covered Ann Margret. ?
Cabaret of course should have been number one. Despite its popularity, I always thought Grease was kind of awful, at least until the final number, which is fun.
You’re right I did not mention 1979’s Hair. Two reasons. I don’t particularly care for it and two it’s my list. I think that Wonka is far more then just “a great children’s movie” as you’ve so eloquently put it.
Good list! I think Jesus Christ Superstar should be in there over Rocky Horror . Better music…
I respect that opinion even if I disagree with it.
This decade was tough. No fiddler on the roof? No the Muppet movie? Saturday night fever? Godspell? Jesus Christ superstar?
j.c.superstar was wretched and you know it!

Was that "all that jazz"? Or "A Chorus Line"? Now I'll have to go re-watch both...
looks quite similar from the clip indeed.
You should do top 10s. I would've included "Jesus Christ Superstar" and maybe "Phantom of the Paradise" as an honorable mention.

Yes, especially compared to the stage production. Really, a disco/pop title song in a movie set in the 50s?
If Rocky Horror is not on this list I will Riot!!!!
Well take a look and you’ll see haha.
FilmSnobReviews There will be no rioting today
The Wiz (1978)
Chorus line?
Made in the 1980s
@@lizzieallen2284 oops. thanx 4 the clarification.
WHAT! No Lost Horizon!?
No Jesus Christ Superstar?
What about saturday night fever
The characters in Saturday Night Fever don’t sing and thusly I would disqualify it.
Whaaaaat? Willy Wonka? Really? It is a great children’s movie but the best musical of the 70s? WTF???!!! And you didn’t even mention Hair!

@@FilmSnobReviews Hair IS overrated, and sadly today would suffer under "cancel culture".
@@pjangels609 story? yes, overrated. but the music is gr8! Far better than j.c.superstar!
Yes, you are correct. I hadn't watched it since a mere teen, and many of the songs would be axed. "White boys are pretty..."lol
