E's List: The Musical Film Edition.

I'm the kind of person who enjoy a good rhythm when she hears one. Granted, musical films aren't for everybody and I completely understand that. However, if you enjoy those, I'll list some of my favorite ones below. 

#5: The Wizard of Oz, 1939.
Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) is a young Kansan girl who lives on a farm with her aunt and uncle. Along with her dog, Toto, she flees the farm to escape from a cruel neighbor. After she decides to return home, believing her aunt to be seriously ill, she is caught in a tornado and lands in Oz, a magical world.There she embarks on a quest to find the wizard of Oz, who'll help her return safely back home. On her journey, she meets wonderful creatures who'll help her find her way to the fame wizard. The Wizard of Oz is a classic and definitely worth watching.

#4: White Christmas, 1954.
White Christmas is a musical Christmas movie. When Bob Wallace (Bing Crosby) and Phil Davis (Danny Kaye) team up to form a musical act, success arises. Upon meeting the Haynes sister, a struggling musical act, Wallace and Davis decide to go to Vermont with them. There, the Haynes sister are to perform in a failing Vermont Inn. When Wallace and Davis realize that their former commanding general is now owning the Inn, they decide to bring their whole show to attract new customers. Heart-warming and sweet. Enjoyable even if you watch it outside of the holiday season.

#3: Mamma Mia, 2008. 
Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is desperate to have her father walk her down the aisle at her wedding, but her mother, Donna, (Meryl Streep) always kept his identity secret. After reading her mother's diary, she invites three men that could be her father to her wedding. Determined to discover the truth, Sophie decides to hide the men from her mother until the big day. However, the men reveal themselves to Donna, resulting in chaos. If you like ABBA's songs, you'll enjoy this movie.

#2: Grease, 1978.
When Danny Zuko meets Sandy Olsson, during the summer of 1958, it's love at first sight. However, Sandy is only there for the summer and is set to return to Australia in September. Eventually, her parents change their minds and Danny and Sandy meet again at school. However, to live up to his bad boy reputation, Danny rejects her in front of his friends.This movie is a classic. This movies is a legend. This movie is everything.

#1: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, 1954.
Milly is a hard-working young woman who, spontaneously, decides to marry Adam Pontipee, despite only knowing each other for a few hours. Once they newlyweds reach Adam's house in the mountains, Milly is surprised to see that Adam is living with his six younger brothers; Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim, Frank and Gideon. Determined to make her marriage and new family work, Milly decides to teach the boys some good manners in the hope of them getting married. I watched this movie for the first time when I was really young and it was love at first sight. That choice is very sentimental to me because this movie was part of my childhood. However, I highly recommend this one for any musical film lover.

This concludes today's list. I choose to not include any animated movies such as The Beauty and The Beast, simply because I feel I could do a list just for those. Until then, leave me your recommendations in the comments.
