The Music Man
Seven Brides For Seven Brothers
Rent
Nine
Fame (1980 original)

Steer clear of Phantom of the opers. The movie doesn’t do it justice. Go see it in person if you ever get the chance!
I think you may have seen the best already.. Oklahoma? look for some of the older ones like My Fair Lady, Singing in the rain and such. They’re always good and don’t spoil the magic of the musical special effects etc
The Producers

if you love rocky horror watch its sequel shock treatment !
also try cry baby , little shop of horrors , and reefer madness…all madcap comedy musicals and all awesome !!!!
Easter Parade with Judy Garland and Fred Astaire.
“Oklahoma!” was the first musical where the songs actually tied in with the plot.
“Duck Soup” has the Marx Brothers as Groucho becomes the Prime Minister of Freedonia (Hail, hail Freedonia, Land of the free and brave!)
“A Hard Day’s Night” stars The Beatles in a Marx-esque romp about the boys and the efforts to get them on stage, on time, for a television event.
“Annie Get Your Gun” Big, colorful show about the romance between famous sharpshooter Annie Oakley and her husband, Frank Butler.
“The Wizard of Oz” The granddaddy of Technicolor musicals, and arguably the very best. I recently re-watched it, and it’s amazing. Even the little dog hits all his cues!
Repo! The Genetic Opera.
My favorite is Moulin Rouge. I watched it at http://www.ertx.com/movie-stream-/watch-moulin-rouge-2001-online/ . Nicole Kidman and Ewan MacGregor are amazing! Fantastic movie musical!
