The best R-rated movie musicals ever made include 8 Mile, All That Jazz, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
When one hears the word "musical," it's probably going to conjure images of happy-go-lucky, predominantly family-friendly movies filled with dancing and singing. These qualities certainly apply to classic movie musicals from decades past, like those starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, popular Oscar winners like The Sound of Music and My Fair Lady, and even classic animated musicals from Disney, like Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King.
Prince plays an ambitious young musician known only as "The Kid," with the film following how he navigates the Minneapolis music scene in his attempts to become a star. It's all fairly standard stuff, but is a little racier than most musicals, and does undeniably feature some of Prince's best-ever tracks.
21 'Annette' As a showcase for the greatly talented Adam Driver, Annette is undeniably striking and bold. As a film, in the conventional sense, however, it's very unlikely to appeal to everyone, because not only is Annette dark; it's also deeply weird in a way that makes most movies that get labeled weird actually seem relatively normal.
19 'Dicks: The Musical' In all honesty, it would be absolutely shocking if a movie called Dicks: The Musical was released and not given an R-rating... it might be even more shocking than any of the humor found here. And that's saying something, because Dicks: The Musical is undeniably crude, silly, and over-the-top.
In tackling an underdog narrative, 8 Mile's fairly conventional, but it certainly satisfies while building to an effective climax. Eminem might not be the most technically skilled actor, but he does undeniably play himself well, and the film is ultimately at its strongest when it focuses on the rap/music side of things.
15 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas' Regarded as one of Dolly Parton's best-known movies, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas joins the ranks of Dicks: The Musical as a movie musical with a slightly alarming title. Parton's character and Burt Reynolds's join forces to stop the titular whorehouse from being closed down, as it's been targeted by a television personality who wants to do an exposé on it.
13 'Waiting for Guffman' When it comes to mockumentary films, you can't really go wrong with most of the ones that are directed by and/or star Christopher Guest. Concerning Waiting for Guffman, he did both those roles here, as well as co-writing the screenplay with co-star Eugene Levy.Waiting for Guffman's setting is Blaine, Missouri, with the premise involving an ambitious theater director trying to put on a huge show to celebrate the town's 150th anniversary.
Those two characters are a man and a woman who both dream of becoming famous musicians one day, and strike up a relationship because of their shared interests. It's tender and charmingly direct, with the director behind it - John Carney - going on to make other sweet and entertaining movies about love and music like 2013's Begin Again and 2016's Sing Street.
