The phantom is a hideous and violent man. The movie softens him alot, plus Gerard is hot with or without a mask :P! Mostly because the version with Gerard Butler is far too tame.

No explanation necessary. See version w/ Gerard Butler. In the Phantom of the Opera, personally I wonder how anyone *wouldn’t* root for the Phantom. No explanation necessary.

It'll be a good movie to review and speaking of movie reviews, I need to write a few... lol :) Okay I rented a copy of Shop Around the Corner and I will keep everyone updated.

Course The Sound of Music is an all time favorite! I watch it whenever it's one (and have a couple friend who do, too, we text each other-no obsession here!) I loved the opera Aida, not so much the musical. The opera really rips your heart out. Musicals are a dying (possibly dead) art save for broadway-such a shame. Some great musicals here!

I mean, sure, all musicals -- all theater, I guess -- is manipulative. But Miss Saigon pissed me off. It has some romantic songs, which I'm not recalling immediately because it was 15 years ago and I'm old & mentally feeble. Well, if you liked You've Got Mail, rent Shop Around the Corner and see if you like it better. Then, if you did, get the cast album of She Loves Me. (I don't think there's a DVD of the show.)

I would put this in the tragic category, but it's also a love story. My cousin saw the original Broadway cast in “Miss Saigon.” I would put this in the tragic category, but it’s also a love story.

I am so uncultured when it comes to Broadway plays. That's why I asked Zarabeth to blog on it and not me. I take it you really dislike <em>You've Got Mail</em>? See, I enjoyed it, but if <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She_Loves_Me" rel="nofollow">She Loves Me</a> is so much better, I would like it that much better than YGM. It's a win-win for me. Was it a book or a play first? The Wikipedia information is a little vague. I didn’t know that was a musical. I am so uncultured when it comes to Broadway plays.

The hero and heroine work at the same gift store in Budapest. They hate each other at work, but are anonymous pen pals. Of course, they finally fall in love. All the characters are lovely, and while the movie is delightful, the musical is sublime. Best romantic musical ever. Trust me. (Oh, and if you're thinking of the Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan movie "You've Got Mail," forget it -- that's barely a remake of the original, minus all the charm.)
