23. The Music Man (1962)
Robert Preston repeats his Broadway role as Professor Harold Hill, a swindler who organizes small-town kids' bands so he can steal their uniform and instrument money. Costar Shirley Jones has great chemistry with Preston, little Ronnie Howard lisps and mugs shamelessly, and composer Meredith Wilson gives his melodic all to ''Seventy-Six Trombones,'' ''Marian the Librarian,'' ''Till There Was You'' (later a hit for the Beatles) and lots more. Best corn you'll ever consume that's not popped.
