I'd add A Chorus Line as well, although I'm not the first to bring it up in this thread.
Also, I find Finian's Rainbow pretty much a mess (even though it has more charming and effective moments than some of these others). I think Hello, Dolly! is a distinctly lesser film than 1776, and can we even bring up something like On Your Toes? Not to mention Fifty Million Frenchmen, mentioned by Michael_212 a bit further down. And I think both Carousel and Kiss Me, Kate are mostly pretty bad, though the latter does have moments. Carousel may be the biggest letdown of all. Rarely has such a great stage musical made such a bad movie. |
