It's becoming a cold and dark december night, and I feel like some more movie nostalgia. Discuss Signors and Signoritas!

I just saw The Who's Tommy for the first time the other day.... That is surely the best musical I have ever seen (though I have seen a limited number of them...)

but here is my list:
1- Tommy
2- Pink Floyd's The Wall
3- South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut
4- Cannibal: The Musical
5- Spinal Tap (I only put this last because I am not sure if it really qualifies as a musical)

I agree with everyone's picks here. but....

(and I hope I'm not rip apart for this)

Moulin Rouge was simply a spectactular melodrama full of eye candy to wipe away those tears.
