99. Miss Saigon

Set in 1975 during the final days before to the American evacuation of Saigon, Miss Saigon is the story of two young lovers, an American GI and a Vietnamese girl forced to work as a prostitute, torn apart by the fortunes of destiny and held together by a burning passion and the fate of their child. Alain Boublil and Claude Michael Schonberg's musical masterpiece, with its soaring melodies and powerful emotions, has captured hearts (and awards) around the world.

97. The Cotton Club (1984)

A typically troubled Coppola production, The Cotton Club was, for a while, most famous for its overspending, backstage bitching and for the fact that producer Robert Evans was investigated for murder during the shoot. It even bombed at the box office but this musical gangster movie, set in a 1920s Harlem nightclub, is now regarded as a masterpiece of the genre. Based on stories written by the likes of Mario Puzo, with an enviably A-list cast and a swinging Duke Ellington soundtrack, this is a truly sophisticated musical work.
