Oliver for me, it's my comfort film, I watch it when all is not good in my little world and I'm feeling hard done by!!

My mum and dad went to see the live stage show of that years ago, and they never stopped going on about it.

Oliver! and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for me too.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is pretty good too benefitting from a fine John Barry/Don Black soundtrack.

It might not be British I don't know but MY FAIR LADY for me , sheer class !.

I know we play fast and loose with the definition - but in what sense could Hair be described as a BRITISH musical?

The film is great - one of my favourite "recent" musicals - but not British.

A lot of the films we're quoting are of dubious Britishness. MFL has a British cast and subject based on a play by a British/Irish writer. I'll go with it!

When I was doing some screen shots from Victim in Location, Location, Location I came across this shot of Oliver! at the New Theatre (now the Noel Coward). The orginal London prduction I guess.

Oliver. :)
I can still remember going to the cinema with some pals and coming away humming those great tunes for days. Though today when I watch it I feel a tinge of sadness for the loss of Ollie and poor Jack Wild, so tragic.

Bugsy Malone
Half A Sixpence
Oliver (First movie I ever saw at the cinema)

Oliver, My Fair Lady and though I haven't seen it in a long, long time Oh What a Lovely War.

Oliver. Because you've got to pick a pocket or two.
Tommy. Because we can see him, feel him and touch him.

MY FAIR LADY and MARY POPPINS are American films!
