The 25 Best Golden-Age Movie Musicals

Vulture: From the 1930s to the early 1950s, musicals dominated the big screen.
The genre emerged alongside the invention of sound in the late 1920s thanks to the first full-length — and controversial — sound picture, The Jazz Singer (1927), and soon the sounds of singers and tap shoes were highlighting the groundbreaking audio technology in ways that dramatic pictures couldn't.
Note: There are 28 films total because one entry on the list included all 4 Broadway Melody films.
