No, no, no, no.... there are some great films that are musicals. Just probably some you've never seen.... obviously, some of the ones I'm naming you've probably seen. If not, you're missing out.
Paint Your Wagon, featuring the uber-men Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood, was not only good cinema, but had outstanding music and was really funny.
Same with 1776.
One of the greatest films of all time is Singin' in the Rain.
Other GREAT ones are Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Wizard of Oz, My Fair Lady, Sound of Music, The Music Man, and Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Some from more recent: I love Nightmare Before Christmas, Moulin Rouge, Little Shop of Horrors and the film adaptation of Chicago...
And I'm really looking forward to Sweeney Todd.
