My Fair Lady

Could you go more classic than this? After seeing Hairspray, you begin to wonder why musicals can't be more like older ones such as My Fair Lady?

With real performers on screen, memorable songs and a real argument, nor randomly put together songs. And! actual acting. Remember Audrey Hepburn's crying scene in which she throws a slipper to Rex Harrison? And that was in a musical.

Remember "All I want is a room somewhere, Far away from the cold night air. With one enormous chair, Aow, wouldn't it be loverly? Lots of choc'lates for me to eat, Lots of coal makin' lots of 'eat. Warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet, Aow, wouldn't it be loverly?"? That's memorable. The moment the movie ends you find yourself singing all the songs out loud. That's the effect a musical is supossed to have on the spectators.

Plus, I laughed, I cried, I had my eyes fixed on the screen during the whole 170 minutes. That's a classic. Audrey Hepburn. Rex Harrison. Now, that's a classic.
