AFI's 100 Years...Greatest Movie Musicals
If you are a member of the Oscar group, you will know that I have a deep appreciation for the American Film Institute and their 100 Years...100 Movies series. The latest incarnation, so appropos for this group, is the Greatest Movie Musicals. There are only 25, but it's an interesting list to discuss. What do you think of it? (See below).
