The Jazz singer(1927)
Singin' in the Rain(1952)
Follows a musical narrative, used a lot since this specific film.
Singin' in the rain is a film which explores the difficulty of introducing "talking pictures".
Similarly to my case it shows the difference and development of technology.

West Side Story(1961)
Chicago(2002)
The show is really all about sex – romance and sex, lust and sex, the exploitation of woman and sex, the manipulation of the justice system and sex and the media and sex. Along with the strong hint of sex there are some social and political; messages threaded into the various stories making it more than just a superficial romp with nice tunes.

This is a true American art form and it was so sad to have it disappear. But over the past 20 years or so, there have been these animated musicals and that was acceptable. I find that you just have to know how to present them. You have to find a way for people to digest the music and have it be natural.

Burlesque(2010)
So burlesque became this site full of possibility for the proliferation of body-positive, sex-positive feminism, but the more burlesque entered the mainstream the more this potential seemed to empty

The Artist(2011)
The Artist is, in many ways, a tribute to Singin'.
