There's a cut off point for me between musicals and films with songs in them. I just haven't been able to define it beyond 'that was shit' and 'that film had some quite good songs in it, and not too many to spoil it.'
Musicals are films that have songs about things happening in the film, like Mary Poppins, Little Shop of Horrors or The Greatest Showman. Films with songs are just films with characters singing songs that have a "normal" explanation, like Sister Act, Pitch Perfect or American Pie.
