Film Institute (AFI) in Los Angeles, California conducted
its 2006 polling on the Greatest Movie
Musicals of All Time, to highlight the 25 Greatest Movie
Musicals of All Time.

A ballot
was distributed in 2006 with 180
nominated musicals to a jury of over 500 leaders from the
creative community, including composers, musicians, film artists
(directors, screenwriters, actors, editors and cinematographers),
critics and historians. Due to the extensive number of memorable
movie musicals in American film, jurors were also allowed to write
in votes for musicals that did not already appear on the ballot.
