Have you ever been in a situation when you read a flims title or summary or saw a movie poster, a trailer or just some screen shots of a movie (especially of B-films) and you thought: "Wow, this looks like heaps of fun!"? You rented that film and after one and a half hours (at the most) you got that nagging feeling that someone stole that exact amount of precious quality lifetime from you. Well, basically this list is about those films. No matter how reduced your expectations had already been, no matter how much you care for flicks of that genre in general - these films did not even meet those expectations, not by a far shot. Even as a fan of trash films you refuse to acknowledge the existence of this list's entries, simply because a good trash film, even considering its manifold shortcomings, is at least fun. So beware, the films on this list are everything - except fun. Needless to say, I had quite some fun in doing this list, although it brought back painful memories.

Feel free to comment on my choice of movies. 

PS: This list is by no means complete as I will add new worthwhile films as I stumble across them.

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.

All Genera: From silents to "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".

Joe Besser and Jim Hawthorne in 'Fraidy Cat (1951)
