I love all the old musicals. I'd say my favorite is still "The Sound Of Music".
Ok so it's an inane question but it's my party and I'll ask what I want to. LOL.

The Sound of Music is mine too, I remember when it came out in 65 my friend and I went on the first night it came to our Cinema, we loved it so much we pestered our Parents to let us go and see it again the next night, and the next night...lol, a very close second would be "Annie" I love that too.
It's certainly not an inane question, it's bought back very fond memories for me as my friend died a few years ago, I still miss her
Edit: just found this about sound of music!

I just bought my favorite old musical and it is not what one might expect. I love Evita and the music from it but my secret true favorite is Naught Marietta with Jeanette Macdonald and Nelson Eddy. I finally bought it and I've been singing the songs for days. I have a ton of old favorites. I like the movies from the 40's. . .and that is before my time but I love to watch the way they use lights and shadows and I like to see an actual background and check the credits for the location. I've also started listening to music that was popular before me. So much is just not out there and there is some fabulous stuff. I'm just getting into Benny Goodman. Favorite movies. . .I would have to watch them often. . .Titanic. . .the last one, Jaws the first two, Pride and Prejudice. . .just love Jane Austen that great women's libber of her day, Humphrey Bogart movies made with Lauren Bacall and Casablanca, GWTW. A couple of strange ones are Double Jeopardy and White Palace. . . and Wolf and The Goonies. I guess my favorite is Willow. I never thought about it but I guess I like those romantic ones. . .oh yea. . . all Micheal Douglas . ..especially Romancing the Stone, the Terminators and all of Bruce Willis' action movies. This could go on forever. . .there are just too many.

Paint You Wagon. Watch over again several times a year. Really like Harve Presnell's rendering of Mariah!

I agree with jfjohnsonrn2 and most of sage seeker.
Singing In The Rain
Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire.
Who could ask for anything more?
62 and taking ballroom dancing lessons and no doubt will never be nearly as good, but I'm trying.

Paint your wagon, with a close number two being teh Wizard of Oz. Paint your wagon was the only movie I liked Lee Marvin in. He's so astrigent in everything else (like The Dirty Dozen)!

"Kiss Me, Kate" with Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson. This one has Bob Fosse as one of the dancers. Also Ann Miller. Good music.
