Gordon Jones and Keye Luke in The Green Hornet (1940)

Chick Chandler, William Lundigan, and Cliff Nazarro in Sailors on Leave (1941)

Titles deliberately omitted from my American Musical Feature Films list. (http://www.imdb.com/list/ls021062047/) Expanded to include TV movies, specials.

A few are tagged as Music/Musical (http://www.imdb.com/search/title?lists=ls021564702,ls025185363&sort=release_date,asc), but I've watched them and would not consider them either.

Around 360 titles are singing-cowboy westerns made between 1930-1960. I didn't want to watch those as part of my sequential viewing of musicals, so I put them aside.

The majority, 1385+ titles, have "release" year 1998+, and too few votes for me to believe they were released in theatres across the country.

US Navy themed films or US Navy sailors (including veterans) as main or relevant characters...

Lee Perkins and Donal Thoms-Cappello in The Red Machine (2009)
