I tried to watch Once but got bored about 20 minutes in. Returned it without finishing it.

 

[Blobbenstein]

I like the songs in Westside Story.

Don't for get the Rocky Horror Show......then there was the musical version of Fawlty Towers....,..ok, I made the last one up.

Tommy was pretty creative. I saw that as a kid at my parents' film club. Not sure if I liked it at the time, but I think Ken Russell was pretty talented in making it.

I have always liked the word chump, so I'm in!

Shoes are for chumps! Jobs are for chumps! Food is for chumps!

 

[Dropkick]

It's spelled C-H-I-M-P not C-H-U-M-P Chum.

People I don't care for should be herded up and sent to live in a van down by the largest river on the continent they are residing at currently.

I was going to bold the ones I like, but then as I read further down the list I realized I would bold pretty much everything.
I haven't seen Mamma Mia, Yankee Doodle Dandy, or Kiss Me Kate.

Grease is just horrible. HORRIBLE.

 

[kibbleforlola]

I loved, I mean LOVED, Grease as a kid. I watched it as an adult and was all "I can't believe my mother let me watch this".

 

[Cerebellion]

Grease is just horrible. HORRIBLE.

I concur

Pussy wagon.

What? It taught the important lesson that women should tart themselves up to get their man.

It's mentioned in the song "Greased Lightnin'" from the film Grease. Also, a kick-*** automobile in Kill Bill.

 

[Dropkick]

Thanks for clearing that up, it was preying on my mind. I remembered it from Kill Bill but didn't remember it in Grease.

Once has a slow start, but it gets better. Also, neither of the two leads are actors.

Garfunkel and Oates are not very funny. Considerably worse than Shakespeare.
