Moulin Rouge! / Australia/USA / 2001

An ocean of neon-rainbow musicality built on the shoulders of great supporting performances: Richard Roxburgh, John Leguizamo, and especially Jim Broadbent as Harold Zidler. (You get the distinct feeling that his Oscar win for Iris was probably more of an Oscar for this film.) I loved the anachronistic touches—Madonna and Lady Marmalade in early 20th-century France—the bewildering song-and-dance numbers, and the inspired characters, though the inclusion of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” undoubtedly sent Kurt Cobain spinning in his grave.
