The CineFiles: MUSICALS!

BUT FATHER, I WANT TO SIIIIIIIINGGGG!!! (cough, cough. Sniff, sniff) Ahem. Our latest episode is about Musicals. You heard it right. We talk about the 80s Australian flick STARSTRUCK, the awful 80s Midnight movie wannabe THE APPLE, Ken Russell's awesome TOMMY, the immortal WILLY WONKA and SINGING IN THE RAIN. It's... different. And Mike sings "Candy Man." And Gene Kelly could've kicked your ass.

Phatman: that Edwin-showing-legs was our revenge on his making us see THE APPLE.

Great Episode, Now I want to see The Apple!

@filmjunkiezach The following on this movie unbelievable. A friend took to a midnight show and it was nearly sold out with people singing all to the songs and lightning up their lighters during the soapy moments. Needless to say, I was surprised that so many people loved this movie, especially since the VHS was impossible to find and at the time it wasn't on DVD.

Yes it worked and we have jobloshow to thank for that. Thank you Mr. jobloshow!

Hey guy.... Your reviews and analysis are awesome always. But this copyright nazis of Youtube have muted this video, dont you have by any chance a channel on Spike, Blip, Metacafe, or Dailymotion..--In wich I could see this---.Ya know those sites in wich you can show and use copyrighted material if you are using for satire or parody, or a fair use with not taking profit of it? Just saying. Well, keep up the great job, the online show you make is amazing

[WalterLiddy]

What a load of shit about the sound. If something wasn't authorized, they could have you remove it - blanking out ALL the sound is just bullshit.

Great show. I hated the new version of Charlie. Hated the back story of Wonka. The old version was so much better. Anywabody ever saw the Indian movie Sholay? Great movie. I also love The Wizard of Oz. Heck, I even like the Warriors-version of it: The Wiz. Not a great movie, but some of the best dance sequences ever are in Sweet Charity. O, and I’m from ’69. So I had the perfect age fro Grease… But the best unmentioned movie to me is Cry Baby. I think it’s a masterpiece.

Singin' in the Rain isn't the start, it's the end of an era, a tribute to the great musicals of the 30s.

eric, great job. I love the animation. You have to teach me how to do it.

xxo glo

Begging your pardon, guys, but it's "Singin' in the Rain," not "Singing in the Rain."

And why the apology or whatever it was for sounding "gay," as you put it. Dayam, you straight guys need to get over it.

Rodger Daltrey was also good in a prison film called Mc Vicar.

That opening doesn't get old. Probably my sixth time watching this episode and this still makes me laugh, especially the Edwin dance and Jeff's solo. "It's a holiday....today....."
