35. Oklahoma (1955)
A classic 1950s extravaganza, despite the curiously sombre choice of Fred Zinneman as director, Oklahoma combines two sure-fire musical hit-makers: a Rodgers And Hammerstein score and Agnes De Mille choreography. Watch this film and you just won't be able to resist singing along to classic show tunes like Oh What A Beautiful Morning and Surrey With The Fringe On Top.

34. High Society (1956)
Lighthearted, entertaining romp through the troubled world of America's super-rich and super-ridiculous, with a fantastically high glamour quotient. Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra croon their way seductively through Cole Porter's delicious score, while Grace Kelly, in her last film before she became Princess Grace, adds mega-star appeal. Throw in a series of luxurious sets and fantastic outfits, plus a guest appearance by Louis Armstrong, and you've got one hell of a movie musical.

33. 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.

31. Blood Brothers
Written by Willy Russell and set in Liverpool, Blood Brothers tells the tale of two twin brothers separated at birth.
One brother goes on to live with a poor family the other affluent, raising the inevitable debate of nature versus nurture.
The bloody climax, although expected from the first scene, still tugs at those heart strings.
