Movie Musicals: Which should I see first? (Phantom of the Opera, Chicago, The Producers.)?

I think all of these movie musicals are great, and if you are a big musical fan it wouldn't really matter which order you saw them in.  However if you aren't a really big fan of the genre, I would suggest watching chicago first (because despite the songs, it is the kind of stuff you are used to seeing in movies), then phantom (make sure that you do get the musical version, not one of the old versions)then the producers (again, although I have heard the old one is very good, it isn't a musical - make sure you get the new one with nathan lane and uma thurman etc).  The producers is really, really over the top, it's actually just like watching a stage musical (which is why I love it, but if you aren't used to watching musicals it can be a little in your face).\nThen if you like them, go and watch as many other musicals as you can put your hands on!  There are heaps and heaps to choose from.  Nowadays very few musical movies are made, but back in the day they were the staple of hollywood.  Try getting some of the really old ones with people like Judy Garland and Ethel Merman.\nSome of my favourite movie musicals are Thoroughly Modern Millie, Oklahoma, Cinderella and Rocky Horror Picture Show.\nI hope this helps; have fun with the musical watching!

ohhhhhhh yes.  City of God was excellent!  Other foreign favorites of mine are Triplets of Belleville, Audition, Versus, Battle Royale and The Chorus.  Foreign movies are so awesome.

Titanic was okay, not something I'd watch more than twice. \n\nThe phantom of the opera was good, but the theatre of it is MUCH MUCH better. I saw that first, it doesnt really compare to the movie although obviously you get more effects in the movie. I like the music and singing and all that stuff.

I like les miserables a lot!  The story is very good and I just love the music - Stars, On My Own, Do You Hear The People Sing..... You can also watch Miss Saigon... the music is also awesome.  Rent has some good stuff in there too!

Eight Below. It doesn't matter who you are; what age you are, or if you even like animals! You will leave the theater with a tear in your eye and a tenderness in your heart! SEE IT! :P

Well, "The Producers" isn't all that new.  The original movie that is was based on is from 1976 (I believe).  The Broadway show started in 2001, and won the "Best Musical" Tony Award, and 11 other Tonys (the most ever).  All 6 of the leads were nominated for Tonys.\n\nPart of the appeal is that it is a comedy (to quote the show "The theatre's so obsessed with dramas so depressed, it's hard to sell a ticket on broadway"), but there is also a plot within all the silliness.  It also pokes fun at American culture, specifically the theatre-going crowd.  Also the music is written in classic Broadway style.  Just listen to the overture and it feels like an old feel good musical.

Yes, because I have seen the other 2. New director though, Maybe better, may suck. Who Knows? I saw both of the other two in theaters also, so I will have to go see it in theater, it  is a must.

The Notebook, Serendipity, Just Like Heaven, Titanic, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, i could go and on. I love most of them . .\nbut out of ur choices, Id pick titanic. Romeo and juliet was good but the end annoys me. THey could have done things differently, where as in titanic he died to save her.
