Rules:
1. Please tag the lists and reviews with either "annual genre challenge 2025" or "agc2025"
2. The films must be a musical. There is no tag for musicals on Letterbox and the term can be subjective, so it really is up to personal preference how that is decided., For my part, I'm using films that feature a soundtrack of diagetic music that plays a significant role in the plot.
3. The films must be first time watches. Whole point of the challenge is to be better familiarized with each theme.
