My Fair Lady is another great classic musical.
(I’m rewatching Aaron and Tara’s Anastasia reaction and something Tara said in her discussion at the end jogged my ancient memory)

As a big Queen fan, I love that reference...of course it's Sir Dr. Brian May now :D
Moulin Rouge is also a banger and a Queen relation given The Show Must Go On is on the soundtrack! - PLD

John, you asked if other movies have done anything with the fanfare. With Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen’s lead guitarist, Sir Brian May, played the 20th Century opening on his hand made red special electric guitar.
That was a lot of fun! I didn’t realize Rosie was played by the same actress who plays Mrs. Weasley from Harry Potter.
If you want to see Meryl Streep playing a complete opposite character,check out The Devil Wears Prada if you haven’t seen it yet.
Moulin Rouge is a great musical with Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. Also Singing in the Rain, which has been called the greatest musical of all time

If you want to give the rejects something more unique, London Road. It's a true crime musical with Olivia Coleman and Tom Hardy

Omg omg My Life in Ruins is one of my absolute faves!! It’s one of the reasons I went to Greece! I chose a tour that went to every place, including Delphi, and Sparta! I second this recommendation!

Such a fun watch along!! It's funny you mentioned "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" because my favourite movie that has to do with Greece is "My Life in Ruins" and the lead acress is Nia Vardalos it's a fun RomCom she plays a tour guide trying to find her "Kefi" (her spark for life) highly recommend it if you haven't seen it! 🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️

Ooh! And fun fact! Pierce Brosnan has said he didn’t know it was a musical when he put his hand up for it - he just wanted to work with Meryl so bad. I kind of love that. Because he’s definitely not a singer, but he tried so hard.
Edit: and now I’ve reached the end I see you guys did an Andrew and looked up trivia 😂😂 it’s still a fun fact. And Colin Firth is great. So versatile. Nanny McPhee and the Bridget Jones series are great for showing him off.
