The Seven Best Movie Musicals: #4

4. My Fair Lady (1964)
Directed by George Cukor
Starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison
Winner of 8 Academy Awards, Including Best Picture. Nominated for 12.

An adaptation years in the making, George Cukor's "My Fair Lady" really did keep the spirit, tone and overall mood of the hit Broadway show of the same name. Of course, it would have been perfect if Julie Andrews were playing Eliza, but still, it's delightful to watch every time. And tell me you haven't hit the rewind button after songs like "I Could Have Danced All Night" and "Wouldn't it Be Loverly?"

once again, great but shouldn't have been higher than other more deserving musicals.
