Had not seen this film before but I bought it because I am very much a musical geek! 'Different' type of musical but I enjoyed it still. I don't think it is for everyone as it is a bit weird in places but I'm sure everyone will recognise at least one tune from this film. I was thoroughly impressed with Ewan McGreggors voice in this, particularly for the song come what may. I LOVE THIS FILM!! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 19, 2013 Verified Purchase I LOVE THIS FILM! Great film makes me cry every time just fantastic. Thought it was appropraite to look into the Baz Luhrmann files in preparation for 'The Great Gatsby' film he is doing. I would definately recommend this and his other films for people to watch. The films are brilliant and definately worth the watch as they are funny and whitty as well as being true to the script/ book that was used in the production of the movies.
But we recently discovered "The Great Muppet Caper" and genuinely didn't stop laughing from start to finish, with ingenious one-liners and silly callbacks as Kermit and the gang try to stop a jewel heist. Plus, watching Miss Piggy perform a fantasy swimming pool number straight out of a Busby Berkeley movie is inspired. Streaming on Disney+ with subscription (sign up for 7-day free trial) 'Funny Girl' (1968) Barbra Streisand gives the very definition of a star performance in this irresistible movie musical, for which she won the best actress Oscar. From her iconic opening line "Hello, gorgeous, " Streisand deftly juggles comedy and drama as she embodies pioneering Jewish comedian Fanny Brice. Many people complain that the film's second half drags, but we're generally so swept up by all of the first part's thrilling songs – "People, " "Don't Rain on My Parade" and "I'm the Greatest Star, " to name a few – that we're willing to cut it some slack. Streaming free on Crackle (no subscription needed) 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' (2007) Grisly horror meets Hot Topic in Tim Burton's darkly stylish adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's musical about a vengeful barber (Johnny Depp) whose victims are literally baked into pies by the besotted Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter) in Victorian-era London.
