Behold, The Top Five Meme!

You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section (Top Five People I'd Like To Kill, Top Five Musical Pieces Ever Written, etc.). Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to all your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Then you post this offer in your own journal.

EDIT: Fuck a separate post. I'll answer here and now. Instant gratification for all!

Top Five Musicals

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

5. South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut. While not a musical in the traditional sense, it is a movie in which the characters break out into song quite frequently, and thus qualifies in my book. Also, the songs are uproariously funny.
4. The Sound Of Music. While perhaps slightly annoying, you cannot deny its ubiquitous nature. I bet dollars to donuts that right now, as you read this, somewhere in your brain a neuron is singing "THE HILLS ARE ALIVE; HOW I HATE THIS SO-ONG!"
3. The Phantom Of The Opera. Not the movie; the real musical. The movie is for posers.
2. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. You know, I said "Quoi?" when I first laid eyes on this musical. It seemed like such an odd movie to remake in musical format. Wonder no more. It was funny as fuck all.
1. Les Miserables. The story is fun. The songs are excellent. A lot of people die. French people, no less. What's not to like?

Honourable Mention: Spamalot. The essence of Monty Python And The Holy Grail, revised and reformatted for the musical stage, and delivered with the same insane exuberance that the original film cast had when the movie was made. Well-done.
