PS: Favorite 20th Century Jukebox Musical Movie (Ready)

I guess Footloose is already on the list. Maybe Flashdance and Dirty Dancing?

Sorry, all are excellent suggestions, as all these movies have great soundtracks. The key is whether the songs were popular before the movie debuted. A jukebox musical movie is a film in which a majority of the songs are well-known, pre-existing popular music songs, rather than original music composed for the movie.

Footloose the song was released in January 1984, the movie was released in February 1984. https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt1068242/ It doesn't say musical. On both movies.

Ok. Mamma Mia, that surely IS a jukebox musical. All songs existed before the movie was released and it is a musical.

The second movie, too. (here we go again)

Jersey Boys

Rock of ages

Moulin Rouge!

Rocketman

Maybe 'Breakin' and 'Breakin' 2- Electric Boogaloo'? But I can't say if the music is produced before or exact for that.

Beat Street?

chatgpt threw out about 25 options which would fit the character, but are not tagged on IMDb as musical.

One of them who is tagged as musical are: Ain't Misbehavin' and one of the which isn't is: The Buddy Holly Story

I agree, I used the wiki list as a starting list, but it needs to be more than tweaked (as it does not follow the jukebox musical rules). I will go through the list and delete movies mostly with original songs and movie biopics.
