Suggesting, even facetiously, that a movie should be destroyed is kind of idiotic. It's the epitome of selfishness to say "I hated this movie, therefore no one else should be able to see it." Remember, people, the fact that you don't like something doesn't mean that everyone else should be deprived of seeing it, especially with a film like this that has brought a lot of joy to a lot of people, and which has one of the best and most important musical scores of the twentieth century. It's absolutely fine that you don't like the film, but suggesting that it should be destroyed because of that is, once again, really stupid. 13 years ago -

There's a reason this is an iconic American classic. Beautifully choreographed, shot on authentic New York sets, with some of the most amazing music in Broadway history. Groundbreaking for its time, and it stands up well to the test of time too. 10 years 12 months ago -
