I was inspired to make this thread because on friday and saturday I went to see Rocky Horror in theaters.

The catchy factor is amazing. I could listen to most of them without the movie.
Another movie that I love, that I'm not sure if it's considered a musical or what, is the commitments. Irish Soul. Excellent movie that I grew up watching and listening to the music from.

Chess
West side Story
Jesus Christ Superstar, and virtually anything every written by Lloyd Webber
Sunset Boulevard by Marvin Hamlisch (though I haven't heard much of it)
Google is a great tool. Try to get the names of the big producers, like for instance Hamlisch and Andrew Lloyd Webber, and check out their productions. They contain some of the finest vocal music ever written, in my opinion.
