Was watching Mary Poppins last night, and amazed at how well the film has stood up from my childhood (and even that in the 80s from the '64 release date). It hit me halfway through at how much I'd really like to own the soundtrack to it. I don't buy many soundtracks to films, let alone musicals, so it struck me as interesting.

So my question to you all is: What musicals or musical numbers sung in a movie from the 60s (gotta limit it somehow) do you enjoy?

My personal faves are:

as mentioned Mary Poppins
Bye Bye Birdie
Camelot
of course West Side Story
Elvis in Clambake

Just about everything fror Fiddler On the Roof

And, it's actually the 70's, but "I Really Like Him" and "The Impossible Dream" from The Man Of La Mancha

Sound of Music? Hello?
Mary Poppins was good, apparently the new stage version has added new songs.

My parents actually took me to a lot of musicals as a kid, so I'm grateful for that. I remember Camelot, Cats (blech), South Pacific, Annie, etc., etc....
