Fame (1980)

Another Alan Parker classic, this time the hugely successful tale of a group of five would-be stars at New York's prestigious High School For The Performing Arts. The film was so popular that it spawned a hit TV series and stage musical, and propelled its young cast to real-life superstardom. The film is packed with outstanding songs, including Out Here On My Own and Red Light, but it's the theme tune, Fame, that'll get any child of the 80s singing at the top of their voice. "Baby remember my name....".

Fiddler on the Roof (1971)

Norman Jewison's superb adaptation of the long-running stage show. Topol reprising his stage role as Tevye, the bearded milkman whose concerns include his five wayward daughters and their marriage prospects. The fantastic tunes make this musical so memorable - every one brims with verve and vivacity. Even if you don't know what the line "all day long I'd biddy biddy bong" means (who does?), you'll never forget songs like If I Was A Rich Man.

Funny Face (1957)

Audrey Hepburn is the bookish NY beatnik chick whose life is turned upside down when fashion photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire) discovers her and whisks her off to Paris to become a top model. Glamour oozes from every pore of this film - the Parisian setting, the Givenchy outfits, the irresistible Gershwin tunes. Combine these with sizzling performances from the two leads and you've got top notch toe-tapping entertainment.
