- DirectorRobert WiseStarsJulie AndrewsChristopher PlummerEleanor ParkerA young novice is sent by her convent in 1930s Austria to become a governess to the seven children of a widowed naval officer.Of course, how can you NOT like this movie? If you don't know about this movie than you must have grown up in a deprived home or were sheltered badly against great things.
If you have seen this movie, give yourself a pat on the back. You're doing great things in this world just by watching this movie. - DirectorTim BurtonStarsJohnny DeppHelena Bonham CarterAlan RickmanThe legendary tale of a barber who returns from wrongful imprisonment to 1840s London, bent on revenge for the rape and death of his wife, and resumes his trade while forming a sinister partnership with his fellow tenant, Mrs. Lovett.Yes it's a bit dark and demented but it's got Johnny Depp! plus the music is fantastic as well. Again, it showcases the many talents of Tim Burton for making a musical.
- DirectorAlan ParkerStarsMadonnaJonathan PryceAntonio BanderasThe hit musical based on the life of Eva Perón (Evita Duarte), a B-picture Argentinian actress who eventually became the wife of Argentinian president Juan Domingo Perón, and the most beloved and hated woman in Argentina.The music is just wonderful in this film. It made me want to learn more about the person and what she did for her country.
- DirectorSusan StromanStarsNathan LaneMatthew BroderickUma ThurmanAfter putting together another Broadway flop, down-on-his-luck producer Max Bialystock teams up with timid accountant Leo Bloom in a get-rich-quick scheme to put on the world's worst show.Those two characters together made one great film from a true classic.
- DirectorFrank OzStarsRick MoranisEllen GreeneVincent GardeniaA nerdy florist finds his chance for success and romance with the help of a giant man-eating plant who demands to be fed.If you've never seen this movie, stop what your doing now and go watch it. The songs are catchy and the story truly unique. You can thank Roger Corman for that, he made the original movie.
- DirectorMel StuartStarsGene WilderJack AlbertsonPeter OstrumA poor but hopeful boy seeks one of the five coveted golden tickets that will send him on a tour of Willy Wonka's mysterious chocolate factory.A true classic in every right. The music was perfect.
