With her Alzheimers slowly, but surely progressing, if I put that movie in for her she lights up and gets very happy and I like seeing her that way, so Sound of Music also gets my vote.

Paint Your Wagon. Lee Marvin's vocal range is amazing, Clint's performance is subtle but serviceable. But most importantly, pretty much all I know and admire about you people is thanks to Paint Your Wagon. I especially like the fact that if one of your wives gets a little uppity you can just auction her off.

Nope, this discussion begins and ends with Paint Your Wagon.There's no such thing as luck, only drunken invincibility. Make it happen.

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

I also love how Eastwood's character is just called "Pardner.""More crazy people to Provo go than to any other town in the state."

Les Miserables.
This is just a fantastic musical overall."They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Brigadoon.
I own it on DVD and we watch it every year while we are wrapping Christmas gifts. I don't know how it ended up as a holiday tradition for us but it has and I absolutely love it.
Scottish town that appears only once every 100 years, who doesn't love that.
I was saddened when Vance Johnson passed away a few years ago. Good actor.

Les Miserables.
This is just a fantastic musical overall.
Second, we had a special carve-out for musicals in our mission rules. So "Master of the House" was a staple for us back in the apartment.
Second would be Fiddler. Third is probably anything with Julie Andrews in it. Fourth goes to the entire Rogers and Hammerstein collection.
Yes, I'm very old school.Awesomeness now has a name. Let me introduce myself.

For musical theater connoisseurs, the Hugh Jackman production of Oklahoma, available to rent in the PBS Great Performances collection, is really quite impressive.

I was actually joking about Oklahoma, though.
My favorite old-school musicals are West Side Story and Fiddler.
Middle-era: I love Cats and Phantom; and Cabaret and Chicago have their moments, too.
New-era musicals, I'd go with Spring Awakening. Lion King is visually stunning and has a couple of great original numbers, but it's weighed down by the kiddie tunes left in from the movie. (This is understandable, since it's intended for families, but still it detracts from the artistic merit of the production.)
I thought the trend of taking a pop music icon (Billy Joel, ABBA, Beach Boys, etc) and developing a weak storyline around their music and creating a musical was interesting. I was curious (though fairly skeptical), but I've never seen any of them.
Loved Stomp.
And how can you forget The Music Man and Marian the Librarian.
