I am not a musicals fan, because of the "bursting into song on the street" thing you mentioned. BUT I would add another vote for "Chicago," and I would also add "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Which is bad based on Broadway/classic movie film standards, but also part of its charm was that it both lampooned and honored those standards.

Cabaret is, in my opinion, not only the greatest musical (beautifully framed, as you say, to stop musicalskeptics like me from turning off), but one of the greatest films, full stop.
