#11 Chicago by Rob Marshall



There hasn't been a movie since Chicago that has looked or felt quite like Chicago. It is a movie that is candy for eyes in all of its dancing, singing glory. The story is there, but more as a set piece for spectacular song and dance sequences and yet it never feels disconnected, cheap, or worthless. In fact a deeper look points to commentary on the judicial system and on criminal celebrity. In all subjectivity I love this movie, its such a fun and smart movie musical that as an adaptation is the best musical adaptation to this day.
