WSS isn't just one of the best movie musicals ever made (maybe THE best?), it's one of the best films ever made. I love Mary Poppins but she ain't it (though, considering the audience for this substack, she's bound to win).

I must confess that I'm not voting for Cabaret solely on the film version. I read the book on which it was based, and watching Alan Cumming as the emcee in the Broadway musical was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. Of course, I was also smitten with Joel Grey when I first watched the film as a much younger person. So...it had to be Cabaret. It's the perfect combination of charm and misery.
