The Seven Best Movie Musicals: #7

We've got an awfully long way to go until we get back at the Kodak, so, to eat up time, I'm going to do a 5-week project of the 7 best (insert genre here)s. The categories are Musical, Romance, Thriller, Comedy and Drama. The same film CAN be used twice. This week we're doing Movie Musicals, starting with #7. In case you haven't read my biography, I am a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE, HUGE, HUGE musical fan, so this ought to be fun. Here we go...

7. Mary Poppins (1964)
Directed by Robert Stevenson
Starring Julie Andrews & Dick Van Dyke
Winner of 5 Academy Awards Including Best Actress-Julie Andrews. Nominated for 13.

Marking the film breakthrough and Academy Award Winning performance of the amazing Julie Andrews, this supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (sorry, I couldn't resist) musical is one for the history books. It is imaginative, family friendly and incredibly entertianing. If only we could have movie musicals today.

Hmm... Where is The Sound of Music? That show that came on CBS hosted by Arnold the Governator that ranked the 100 Best movies, 100 best villians and heros, 100 best movie songs, and so forth... ranked the Sound of Music in the top 5.
