Singin' in the Rain
Singin' in the Rain is a 1952 musical film, often considered the best musical ever made, starring Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, and with Cyd Charisse. You can't ask for a more feel-good film than this. Just thinking about this movie brings a smile to my face. And I'll watch anything with Gene Kelly in it. It's on HBO Max, though I have the DVD around here somewhere...

I don't know that I ever have seen Singing in the Rain start to finish, musicals do tend to be the perfect spirit lifters. My favorite Gene Kelly movies is Brigadoon.
ReplyDeleteI love Brigadoon!
Delete...right about now I'd love to sing in the rain, it's mighty hot and dry.
ReplyDeleteRain is a possibility for us tomorrow. At a 40% chance, we'll see.
DeleteI'm not a big fan of musicals and no matter how many times I've tried to watch this, I just can't get into the movie
ReplyDeleteNothing suits everybody, that's true.
DeleteThis is a great movie. I am just glad it is not raining because now I am going to be singing that song all morning. Smile. And it's actually like summer here today-got to love it. Enjoy you Saturday Nita.
ReplyDeleteI'm still upset about this past week's SCOTUS rulings. I'll spend some time on the patio, though. That'll help my spirits a bit.
DeleteThis is A-1, tops on my all-time favorite movie list. I don't know how many times I've watched it but every time I do I feel much better. (I can even say the dialogue along with it but I refrain when watching in a group!)
ReplyDeleteMy family would really rather I'd not sing along lol
DeleteThis is such a great movie, just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Yes! One of the best!
DeleteThis is one of the best oldies. Everyone needs to see it.
ReplyDeleteI do love it :)
DeleteI also love this film. It was a great feel good film with dancing, too!
ReplyDeleteGene Kelly is a national treasure :)
DeleteMusicals were all the rage for quite a while back then. This was a good one. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's true. There aren't nearly as many musicals now. I guess it's out of fashion.
DeleteIt's not that they are out of fashion. It was also because they were so expensive to make. The film companies were losing money with every big budget musical they made. I read that somewhere a few years ago.
DeleteIt's a shame. Too often a big budget dooms a film :(
