I was half tempted to say South Park: BLU myself, but I'm glad somebody else did. While not the best musical ever, it's probably the best constructed screen musical in many, many years (as I confirmed to myself the other day when I rewatched it).

Another good recent musical is 8 Women. Plus it has Catherine Deneuve and Ludivine Sagnier in it...a pity I can't speak French....

If you love musicals I can't see how you couldn't love "WMWF" (although clearly, you guys have done just that.)

Strikes against OMWF:

1) The singing is atrocious.
2) The songwriting is nu-Broadway rock-opera hell.
3) Did I mention the singing is atrocious?

My favorite musicals:

West Side Story
Singin' In The Rain
Candide
Joseph and the Amazing Techniocolor Dreamcoat
South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut
Chicago
Damn Yankees
The Lion King
My Fair Lady
