Sound of Music. I really did not think much of it until my kids were little and did one of those things kids do, watch the same movie 400 times in a row. The more I watched SoM, the more depth I saw in the overall filming, editing and acting. You can note small things you miss in just a few viewings. Overall a very good film.

Second is Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Simply an outstanding film with fab dancing and singing and everything one wants or needs. Feels a lot like a stage setting. Excellent!

Third on my list is probably Singing in the Rain. Nuff said.

Fourth might be Sun Valley Serenade. Lots of energy in this one that keeps up throughout the movie. Basic formula film but good.

Oklahoma is great as a stage play but the only version that really flies on film is the Brits TV version. The old US version has great singing but the film never captures the stage depth.
