The Best Musical Love Story Movies
Sometimes, it's best to say "I love you" in a song. Perhaps that's why musicals and romances are a match made in heaven. The best musical love story movies feature a couple overcoming obstacles – or even their initial dislike of each other – in order to find their happy ending. This is a list of the top musical love story movies, including everything from The Sound of Music to My Fair Lady to La La Land.
What films will you find on this list of the best musical love stories? Bad boy Danny (John Travolta) and girl-next-door Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) turned their “Summer Nights” into romantic days in the 1978 smash Grease. “You're the One That I Want,” “Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee,” and “Beauty School Drop-Out” are just a few of the popular songs from this comedic, romantic musical. On the dramatic end of the spectrum, the heartbreaking classic West Side Story brings Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet to 20th century New York City. Other movies featured here include Across the Universe, Funny Face, and Pitch Perfect.
