It’s easy to sing the praises of a great musical.
Sometimes, this is done with characters breaking into song.
Sometimes, musical sequences will only exist in dreams or fantasy sequences.

39.
Confidential(1997).
Its a film that strikes a wonderful balance between being heartfelt and genuinely funny.
Its the full package, and also proves to be very silly in an endearing and potentially timeless way.
Its a comedic musical that plays out a little like a reverseTootsie, which also came out in 1982.
The technical craft on offer will makeThe Young Girls of Rochefortprobably bearable to even the harshest musical hater.

And the songs on offer are undeniably catchy and basically impossible to ever forget, for better or worse.
It was also a monumentally successful movie, winning a total of eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
That being said, it’s not the original.
You read that right.
It’s really, really simple, at its core, but also really, really effective.
There are also lots of songs, too, consideringThe Sound of Musicis quite a long musical.
