They got the top two right, just in the wrong order.
> 5. Cabaret, (1972), Allied Artists
Top 5 - yes.
> 6. Mary Poppins, (1964), Disney
Interesting choice. A little stiff for my taste, and Dick Van Dyke's Cockney accent is so bad that it's classic. But there are some nice tunes here, though a little dated for today's kids, I fear.
> 9. An American In Paris, (1951), MGM
I would place this above "Mary Poppins."
> 14. All That Jazz, (2002), Miramax
This would be in my Top 10. Easily. But didn't this come out in '79?
> 18. Yankee Doodle Dandy, (1942), Warner Bros.
Dopey flick, but some great dancing. One of the best lines the late Gene Siskel got off was when this film was being colorized by Ted Turner for TV (and I paraphrase), "Finally, we get to see the American flag in color."
> 19. On the Town, (1949), MiraMGM
Dumb, but irresitable. Hey, it's Gene fucking Kelly.
> 20. Grease, (1978), Paramount
The wife and I knew the choreographer for this film, so we got a lot of backstage gossip. A few decent tunes, but 20's about right.
> 25. Moulin Rouge!, (2001), 20th Century Fox
My daughter loves this film. I was put off by it the first time -- all that anachronistic music. But I've since settled down, and have enjoyed it for what it is -- a mystical ode to Absinthe!
