Oliver!

Not just a great movie musical (and one of the last of its breed), but the best Dickens film, even though (perhaps because) it strays from the book. One of those wonderfully immersive movies where you feel like you're inside it. Terrific cast all up and down. A real joy. Freder watches this every winter and never gets tired of it. Wanted to be the Artful Dodger as a kid, but sadly was more like young Master Twist.

Borderline annoying but the lengthy song numbers (resulting in an indulgent overall running time) didn't succeed in souring my experience. The story is good, obviously, and the characters juicy. That being said, Lean's 1948 version is the version to turn to first, certainly.

Not a big fan of musicals or anything, but Oliver! is just really good. Funny, moving, good performances, excellent songs.

Oliver! is a great musical due to its phenomenal sets and costume design, not to mention its great music! Most of the songs are catchy and are still often used to this day in various projects. I really like this movie.

Marvellous, magical musical. Great score, brilliantly set, filmed and cast. Nothing will stop you from singing along with this. Well acted, great comedy moments and some real pathos. One to keep
