The first of the 80's classic musical films and still one of the best of the bunch.
Despite being 30 years old this film is still a must see classic it has a great script and some fantastic songs.
Much better than the terrible 2009 remake that pales next to the original.

Er 'superb plot'... I spent the most pointless two hours of my life looking for one. No good music other than the headline song which is played once somewhere in the middle. Many soul-destroying monologues. Nothing gets resolved. The worst musical I have ever seen.

After hearing great things about this movie and loving musicals i gave it a watch. Possibly the most boring movie i've ever watched. The song "i'm gonna live forever" which i love was the only good part and only featured for about a minute. The characters and stories were good, but it was just so boring and i would not watch it again! In conclusion it was basically rubbish!!!
