95. Breaking Glass (1980)
Hazel O'Connor proves that sometimes pop stars can make the transition to screen stardom successfully.
In Breaking Glass, she plays a young rock star, who is determined to make it to the top but who, when she finally gets
there, finds her new position under threat from the lurking dangers of drugs. With its exploration of the trappings of
fame, this film could be seen as the Judy Garland story. A winning punk rock soundtrack makes this a memorable Brit
flick with a twist.

94. Sholay (1975)
Bollywood gets an entry on the list courtesy of this legendary musical western about a couple of hired guns who go after some bandits. Of course, because it's Bollywood, the violence is replaced by musical numbers and there's a lot of comedy thrown in for good measure. A record breaking musical in every way, not only is it nearly four hours long, but it also was still playing in Asian cinemas five years after release.

93. How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1967)
Using his wits to guide him, a window cleaner takes a stab at success in the corporate world, making it all the way to the boardroom at Vallee's Worldwide Wicket Co. But he discovers that making it in business isn't all it's cracked up to be, as he finds himself dodging vengeful superiors and back-stabbing co-workers. David Swift's amiable knockabout comedy comes complete with high energy, elaborately staged musical set pieces.

92. The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg (1964)
A heartbreakingly beautiful musical from France in which Catherine Deneuve falls for a local garage mechanic. When she falls pregnant and he is conscripted into the army, she is pushed into a marriage of convenience with another man. Every word is sung and the whole film has a rich lyrical feel to it that tugs gently at your heart. (Image courtesy of Tartan Video)

91. Everyone Says I Love You (1996)
Woody Allen’s enjoyable yet ramshackle attempt to recapture the heyday of the Hollywood musical sees Julia Roberts, Tim Roth and Edward Norton test their tonsils. The witty tale focuses on a spoilt Park Avenue family, and moves from New York to Venice and Paris. Only Drew Barrymore is dubbed among a likeable cast that courageously tries to do justice to some great, indestructible songs.
