  Twins was better.

  Show Boat 1936

  ★★★½ Watched by Andrew Markowitz 13 Sep 2021

  Likes: Paul Robeson and the incredibly effective "Ol Man River" sequence, James Whale's direction, the set design

  Dislikes: Lack of more Paul Robeson, the very dated racial portrayals and black face, didn't find many of the other characters interesting

  I wouldn't mind seeing other musicals make their way to the Criterion Collection.

  Beauty and the Beast 1991

  ★★★★½ Rewatched by Andrew Markowitz 06 Sep 2020

  Still an all-time Disney classic. It's easily top 5 in many areas. The music and voice cast are amazing, Gaston is an elite villain, beautiful animation, there's just so much great stuff here. 

  Looking forward to the next rewatch. Now, for the remake.

  Hairspray 2007

  ★★★★ Rewatched by Andrew Markowitz 27 Jun 2021

  Still one of the best musicals on screen! Awesome soundtrack and a terrific cast but special mentions for John Travolta and Queen Latifah. They really can't stop the beat on this one.
