I swear I already saw this thread, but couldn't find it anywhere. Anyway, what are some of your favorites? I grew up watching musicals and going to musical theatre with my grandparents and I just loved them as a kid.

Some of my favorites off the top of my head:

An eclectic collection no doubt:

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (the movie)

"Once More, With Feeling" the Emmy nominated musical episode of Buffy

and South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut -- outstanding and very funny musical numbers in that movie.

:D

The Fruma Sarah part in the movie is particularly creepy, in a Kate Bushoid way.
