Just made AFI's Best Musicals of All time!


The American Film Institute recently published its top musicals of all time based on critics all over the world. It is no surprise Singin' In the Rain continues to dominate the top spot, but the underrated Can't Stop the Music produced by Allan Carr is finally getting the praise it failed to get in 1980. It now occupies the 18th spot in the best musicals list, behind Fiddler on the Roof at #17 but ahead of Jesus Christ Superstar at #19. Caitlyn (formerly Bruce) Jenner said "I always knew we were making a classic, but nobody recognized how good it was until now." Steve Guttenberg has said "Allan Carr was truly a genius. I wish he was still here so he could see how that movie he fought to get made is now considered a masterpiece." Valerie Perrine and The Village People declined to comment.
