Live Poll. What is The Greatest Circus Movie?
List page: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls502203926/
Poll Page:
https://www.imdb.com/poll/ReJ5oCDafDM/
What is the greatest movie about circuses? (Eventhough, I did include only 1 television show that is set in a traveling circus.) it is that simple. No traveling carnival movies. All the films (and 1 tv show) are 6.0 or better. Which one do you think is the greatest circus movie? If you want to see another circus show listed, or stand up and applause any already on the list, as circus barkers used to say, “Step right up and get your ticket here”.

Man! A ton of these movies are great and deserve to be in a lot of people’s collections. I own a few myself, (“Mirror Mask”, “The Greatest Showman”, and “7 Faces of Dr. Lao”) and I plan to buy some more (“Circus World”, “The Greatest Show on Earth”, “Man on A Tightrope” and “Trapeze” and more). I just ordered “Bill Rose’s Jumbo” (very good film that few know about because it had the ill luck of bad timing of it’s release that hurt it’s box office.)

Please adjust the title capitalization:
What Is the Greatest Circus Movie?
You say that all titles have a rating of 6.0 or better, but Circus Boy (1947) doesn't have any rating.

@dgranger,
Please consider the edit that Jessica suggests.
For your consideration:
The Main Attraction (1962)
Eddie, an American, is a drifter currently in Italy working his way as a singer. That drifting is in he running away from himself, he not much liking that person which in turn makes others eventually not like him, one reason he gets fired from job after job. It is when he is fired from his latest job that he is discovered by Gina, who wants him to be the straight man, the singer, in her ventriloquist act in a traveling circus. She eventually does let him know that he is just the latest of her assistants, who she expects to be by her side both on stage and in her bedroom. The circus is owned and operated by Rico and Elleanora Marino, who along with her younger sister Tessa also have a combination trick riding/acrobat act. As Elleanora now requires arm braces to walk, the permanent disability the result of an on stage accident, Tessa, who is just reaching her womanhood, has taken over most of the physically demanding and risky female tricks in the act. An easy rapport and eventual friendship forms between Eddie and Tessa, which does not sit well with either Gina who does not take kindly to what she believes is Eddie's romantic interest in Tessa, and Rico, who sees in Tessa more than just a surrogate little sister and who sees Eddie solely as Gina's latest trash. In addition, Eddie learns that "Bozo", one of the circus clowns, is Gina's ex-husband who he believes still has an interest in Gina in every respect. In both Eddie and Tessa individually trying to escape this complicated situation, Eddie may discover that person in himself he truly does like, with both also unwittingly ending up in a potentially life threatening situation from running away. —Huggo

Hey guys, you are going to love this one. I just got “Circus World” on dvd and just found a crazy connection to it and “The Lion King”. The lion cub that John Wayne rescues in the shipwreck scene is named Simba the main character in “The Lion King” (before “The Lion King” was ever made).

Done. Also removed the double entry I accidentally put in. To those that caught that, why didn’t you tell me I did that?
