I hated Moulin Rouge, but loved Chicago. I might have enjoyed MR if had been slowed down a little bit. Too much "in your face". I've always wondered why the stage version of 42nd St has not been movified. It would be even more throw-back than Chicago, but it's got all the music and dancing anyone could ask for. It's drawback is that it really doesn't have an element of sexiness to it, which is what I think MR and Chicago had that kept the audience involved.
I adore musicals. I probably have 20 in my DVD collection. The best: Singing In The Rain, West Side Story, the Broadway Melody series. My 14-yr-old daughter has been listening to the soundtracks to Singinig In The Rain and Wicked almost exclusively lately.
