Best Musical Movies rated From 45 To 1

45: coco

Best Musical Movies. This animated gem is family friendly and dazzles with gorgeous visuals and amazing color. The story itself is a love letter to music, specifically traditional Latin American folk. It’s a beautiful tale that dives into the bright side of mortality, by way of the El Dia de los Muertos. The soundtrack is spotless, the plot is heartwarming, and the dreamy feel of it all is hypnotic in the best of ways. If it doesn’t move you to pick up a guitar or nudge your young ones toward music lessons, nothing will.

44: High Fidelity

Best Musical Movies. Released in 2000, High Fidelity is high on the list of the best John Cusack movies of all time. It’s a film with scenes that burrow deep into your psyche, and likely inspired millions of thoughtful mixtapes, assembled for love interests across the globe. Apparently, settling on a soundtrack was one of the hardest parts of production, which is unsurprising given that the film focuses on music snobs as its main characters. But the sonic backdrop does the film proud, featuring the likes of Bill Callahan, Roky Erickson, the Beta Band, Bob Dylan, and more. If you didn’t have a vinyl collection before watching this movie, you’ll surely start one after.

43: Inside Llewyn Davis

Best Musical Movies. There are countless films that deal with the plight of folk singer-songwriters, but this happens to be one of the best (and one of the best movies streaming on Amazon). Tempting as it was to include Crazy Heart, it was 2013’s Inside Llewyn Davis that made the cut. Maybe it’s the Coen brothers’ mystical effect, or maybe’s it’s the understated soundtrack. It’s a gorgeous take on the art scene of Greenwich Village circa 1961, led by up-and-coming Oscar Isaac (who performed many of the songs himself). With T. Bone Burnett as the executive music producer, the film always has a strong sound.

42: Love & Mercy

Best Musical Movies. In a masterful biopic of the great Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, John Cusack and Paul Dano team up to embody the early and late stages of his life, full of turmoil and mental overhaul. Switching between different times in Wilson’s life, we witness an adaptation of a younger Wilson (Dano also magnificently performs the songs himself) as he quits touring to produce the timeless album Pet Sounds, slipping slowly and steadily into psychosis. Cutting to the future, Cusack plays an older and broken Wilson, psychologically limited and trapped under controversial 24-hour therapy tactics from the infamous Dr. Eugene Landy.

41: Whiplash

Best Musical Movies. This excellent 2014 film spotlights a percussionist, one of the least-featured musician types in all of cinema. Better, it shows just how ruthless elevating your craft can be. J.K. Simmons is at his best, playing a merciless, drill-sergeant-like instructor at a music academy. It’s intense, immensely dramatic, and filmed beautifully.

40: Summer of Soul

Best Musical Movies. The summer of 1969 is overshadowed by the big classic rock acts of Woodstock. Meanwhile, an amazing festival unfolded in Harlem, drawing some of the best talent of the time. This powerful and wonderfully-scored music doc breaks down the Harlem Cultural Festival, a true showcase and celebration of Black music and marginalized gathering that actually drew 300,000 people. We’re talking Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, B.B. King, and so many more. Better, it’s a fantastic directorial debut from musician Questlove.

39: Singles

Best Musical Movies. The ’92 film is another by Crowe and paints a lovely portrait of love and music during Seattle’s most famous era to date. Actual stars like Chris Cornell (RIP) and Eddie Vedder enter the mix, and the vignettes of struggling relationships capture perfectly what it’s like to grow up without completely sacrificing your going-to-shows, drinks-after-midnight younger self. It’s a rom-com that swaps the cheese for the best of Gen X noise.

38: Purple Rain

Best Musical Movies. The grandaddy of them all, Purple Rain is pretty much the role model of the group. Here, Prince shows his unrivaled ability as a dynamic pop-rock god, part sweet-talking, bike-riding crooner, part electric-guitar-wielding badass. The barn-burning 1984 movie is like one long music video, drenched in purple and never easing off the gas. You will wish it was the ’80s and you had a motorcycle.

37: Les Misérables (2012)

Best Musical Movies. Thematically powerful as it is emotionally stirring, this 2012 film adaptation of the classic musical Les Misérables (based on the Victor Hugo novel) has everything from an epic, multi-character story to actual live performances from the cast.

31: Moulin Rouge!

Best Musical Movies. Set in early 19th century bohemian Paris, this vibrant, eclectic musical film from director Baz Luhrmann follows the secret romance of a young writer (Ewan McGregor) and a cabaret actress (Nicole Kidman) — all the while featuring popular songs from modern artists such as Madonna, Elton John, and The Police.

27: My Fair Lady

Best Musical Movies. There may be a new Steven Spielberg remake in the works for 2020, but this original West Side Story film from 1961 is undeniably the true classic, featuring impressive performances and dazzling visuals as it reimagines Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet in the streets of modern-day New York City.

23: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

Gene Wilder enchants as the eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka — particularly with his timeless performance of “Pure Imagination.”

21: Hairspray

Best Musical Movies. As if there’s even more reason to watch this feel-good hit about a dance-loving teen in Baltimore (besides the catchy, contagiously upbeat musical numbers, of course), it also features John Travolta as Tracy’s mother Edna and Zac Efron as the handsome, swoon-worthy Link.

20: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Best Musical Movies. Admittedly, sometimes we all need a break from the classically cheerful, feel-good musical flick — which brings us to Tim Burton’s adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s macabre musical, starring Johnny Depp as the murderous lead character.

19: The Greatest Showman

If you loved Once, you’ll love this equally heartwarming film from the same director which follows a young singer (Keira Knightley) as she meets a record label executive (Mark Ruffalo). Its track “Lost Stars” (by Maroon 5’s Adam Levine) even won the Oscar for Best Original Song!

A thoroughly entertaining narrative isn’t the only captivating element in this rock biopic that doubles as a heartfelt tribute to the life and music of Elton John — it’s also the stellar soundtrack set to the musician’s most beloved songs.

Best Musical Movies. Who could forget the legendary musical that is The Phantom of the Opera? This 2004 film adaptation ofAndrew Lloyd Webber’s musical brings “the music of the night” with its lavish costumes and set design combined with a rich, striking soundtrack.

2: Almost Famous

Best Musical Movies. Cameron Crowe’s Y2K classic almost goes without saying. The film takes place in ’73 and follows an aspiring young music journalist during the heyday of Rolling Stone magazine. The classic rock songs written for make-believe band Stillwater feel as though they could be the work of Zeppelin, Skynyrd, or the Allman Brothers. And Kate Hudson’s character, Penny Lane (inspired by Pennie Trumbull), is as delightful and freewheeling as they come.

1: This Is Spinal Tap

Best Musical Movies. This examination of fake English glam-hair-metal band Spinal Tap is absolutely hilarious. One of writer Christopher Guest’s greatest gifts to the public, the 1984 film is as absurd and intoxicating as ever. The scuzzy music steals the show, but the outstanding wardrobe, stage layouts, and picture-perfect depiction of rock star ridiculousness aren’t far behind.
