Dont forget to vote for your top 3 favourite musicals from the list.

I will announce next weeks nominations on the weekend.

I went for:

Lion King
Team America
Jungle Book

some good choices here! very tricky to choose

I am getting a nosebleed - my choice is one of the front runners! This is a strange feeling indeed!

I didn't know you could pick films like Team America and South Park. Starting to regret my choice just a bit now! never mind..

Does the Lion King realy count as a musical? I know it had a lot of music in it but still.I voted for it as it is a great movie.

I'm disappointed with that list - no Cabaret? No classic Hollywood musicals like Singing in the Rain? If I had to pick one of them it would be Rocky Horror though...

you can pick up to 3 choices.

I think its a greatly diverse round but you are right - a few classics omitted

OK my three would be Blues Brothers, Rocky Horror and Grease.

Hobo what day will you be announcing the next category?

I will do so either tomorrow or Friday.

Ok cheers Hobo hopefully I can get on my phone long enough to make my selections, don't want to be getting the same number of points as you.

One vote for my film so far. Oh dear! I have a feeling this will not be a good round for me.

Just to let everyone know the next round, so I can get your choices in nice and early:

Sci Fi but to make it interesting, you cant have a Star Wars or Star Trek film

Come on guys, how can you not like Little Shop of Horrors?

"FED ME, FEED ME........ FEED ME NOW!"

Boo hiss. I was really looking forward to the musicals round, but most of those choices are rubbish and not proper musicals. Where the hell are the classics? West Side Story, Calamity Jane, Chicago, Oklahoma, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The King and I, Cabaret....... (wanders off muttering to herself)

And Hornblower, Little Shop of Horrors is class and should definitely have more votes.

Calamity Jane which do you think shouldn't be counted as musicals?

South Park and Team America for starters. As you can see from my list, I'm a bit of a traditionalist (you mean old? Ed.), and to me a musical is done on stage as well as on film. So sadly, as much as I love Blues Brothers, I would also have to leave that off the list.

But it's just my opinion. Feel free to ignore it. Most people do.

Although I don't know much about musicals I was surprised to see Team America and South Park, but I guess the category was more any film where the cast sing than traditional musicals, I'm just glad you didn't mention mine.

go on then, which was yours?

AMERICA, **** YEAH!!

Dune! (Only joking it's an awful film). I'm not into Sci-Fi I'd suggest the two I have seen (so they're probably classics):

Blade Runner
2001 A Space Odyssey

Still waiting on some nominations

Wasn't sure if mine was Willy Wonka or Jungle Book - turned out it didn't matter. Happy with my league position so far - much better than my Music Cup performance.

Get those nomo's in - I'm looking forward to seeing the next round

The Lion King beaten by South Park and draws with Team America in a round for musicals.

Mine was The Lion King I'd hope you count that as a proper musical.

It sneaks in because it was turned into a stage show

Very interested to see the sci-fi choices. Logan's Run is one of my favourites, but I bet no one's picked that one.

Singing In The Rain - now that's a musical!

You do all know that Round 4 is up?
