Rainy days are great. Nothing beats sitting in a cozy chair under a blanket, drinking something hot, and watching a classic film. Unfortunately, college discourages that. They'd rather you go to class and basically have no fun. But once class is over, all bets are off. Unless you have pressing homew read more

By the 1980s, the movie musical was… well, far beyond the time of transition. Since their heyday in the ’30s and ’40s, musicals had become limited to just a handful of movies per year, without a lot to choose from—Disney films for kids, pop hits designed to sell soundtracks, the read more

Since my slavish devotion to Lina Lamont is well known to anyone who might have stumbled by here in the past, I simply had to include Singin’ in the Rain as part of the Hooray for Hollywood series. I can’t help viewing this film as a musical counterpoin read more

As the story goes, the three friends save the failing “Dueling Cavalier” by losing the simple “talkie” gimmick and making it a musical by dubbing Lena Lamont (Jean Hagen). Cathy no longer is a bit player, and she gains the acknowledgment that she deserves. Then Don Lockwood g read more

This movie is a comedy, a romance, and above all a musical. However along with the immortal dance routines there is a plot and characters that are memorable as well. It helps to glorify a very different time in Hollywood and delivers a film that is funny and full of excellent song and dance. 5/5 St read more

I was 10 years old when I remember seeing Gene Kelly for the first time, and I was not impressed. It was 1967, and Kelly was the star of a musical TV version of "Jack and the Beanstalk," and he was just so ... so ...smarmy. I felt like he was talking down to me, and I was 10!

I belatedly close out my Summer Under the Stars with my favorite movie of all time: Singin’ in the Rain.  This is one of the hardest movies for me to review because there is absolutely nothing I dislike about it.  Nothing!  This is a film that could never exist today, that both reveres the read more

Sometimes you just have to go back and revisit a classic, if only to remind yourself of what made you fall in love with the film in the first place. I’ve been a fan of Singin’ in the Rain for a few years now, but that doesn’t mean I rewatch it as often as I probably should. But th read more

For the most part, I find musicals to be the goofy branch of film with flimsy plots interrupted by silly songs.  Yet, in my eyes, there has been one musical I could only love from the start: Singin’ in the Rain.  Now, what on earth made a sarcastic kid like me love Singin’ in the Rain?  It was read more
