5	BeeDub	100 _97th
Watch this instead of (or at least before) the Disney version - it's superior in every way.
1	djross	88 _97th
Superb musical that is funny, interesting, and intelligent, featuring good songs and a great performance from the wonderful Bernardette Peters.
1	maddog	89 _94th
Bernadette Peters and Joanna Gleason are especially awesome in this.
1	Shephard	92 _97th
A brilliant masterwork by Sondheim, with a strong accomplished cast. Bernadette at her best. Highly quotable, and filled with great messages and substance.
1	Timon88	77 _78th
Important video documentation of the original Broadway production. Worthwhile.
1	Weaselgrease	93 _77th
As a direct contradiction to my review of The Wizard of Oz, this film is quite enjoyable. The characters are lovable, the story is inventive and fun, and there's plenty of comedy to keep it fun for everyone!
1	Insti	79 _64th
The filmed stage show format is something I wish they did for more musicals. More humorous and 'edgier' than the dark second act of the Disney version.
1	Imogen	10 _97th
Glorious, heart-wrenching and sublimely beautiful. My absolute favourite musical of all time. Sondheim's score is genius and the book by James Lapine is so layered and dynamic, full of fantastic characters, humour and, ultimatley, some big moral questions. I cry everytime during 'No-one is Alone'. Perfect melodrama. Bernadette Peters is amazing. The whole cast are amazing. FLAWLESS.
