Singin' in the Rain

So sad Debbie Reynolds passed away today, bother gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds can be dancing in heaven now..both amazing actors... Will both be sadly mised

My favorite musical movie. It is simply perfect!

This is one of my all time favorite movies! Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds are amazing together. The chemistry is great, the singing and dancing is amazing. There are great original songs. But even more than any of those things, this movie is hilarious! There are unforgettable characters and a witty humor that is irresistible! For me, this is a must-see movie for any and everyone.

Why, this is the gayest picture I ever did see! In the “happy” sense of the word, of course 😏

Donald O'Connor's charisma shines brighter than the rain-soaked streets! A timeless classic.

Saw this at ace hotel theater, front row balc. Good even with crazies surrounding me. Lady to my right was taking her phone out to take pictures of the screen!!! What the hell?!

It's a film that revolves around characters who are a bunch of phonies who are self-infatuated with their own status and will do anything to protect their status. None of these characters necessarily have to be though, especially when Lina Lamont (the closest thing there is to being a villain) is so over-the-top awful. The charm of the film is the music and dance numbers along with the thrilling story of Hollywood backstabbing. Mostly the music though. Almost all of the songs are extremely memorable (my favorite is "Make Them Laugh") and it's easy to see why this musical is so highly thought of.

That said, it does have one small problem: it has some filler. "Broadway Melody" is the same. It's 13 minutes that doesn't add to the film in any meaningful way, in my opinion. It's not bad, I just don't see a reason for it being included.

At the end of the day, there's really nothing about this film that hasn't been said a million times. It's one of the best musicals ever made without a doubt.

The tagline 'What a Glorious Feeling' really sums it up for me. This is the movie that got me to realize, as a young teen, that every old movie wasn't boring (something I would continue to experience the more old movies I saw).

My only complaint is that there's a musical number that far overstays its welcome, but even so, they make a joke about it afterwards, so it's not tainted in my mind. It's genuinely funny, the songs are a blast, and the characters and situations they put themselves into are entertaining. Plus, the setting is really interesting.

The only way I can explain it: fun! I had such a great time with the characters, the songs and even some of the old timey lame jokes. Really enjoyed it. Only thing is that the story is a bit predictable, but it doesn’t matter. It deserves to be an all time classic!

Whether you like musicals or not, Singin' in the Rain is a musical classic that should be enjoyed by everyone

Here is my quick review:
[Like]
+ Beautiful and Memorable Choreography: Keep an eye out to the Magical "Singin' in the Rain" and the Acrobatic "Make them Laugh" section
+ Superb performance and chemistry between the cast (Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, and Jean Hagen)
+ Music and score are pure ear candy
+ Brings forward the idea of when Hollywood was transitioning from Silent Movies to Talkies
+ Considered by many as the best Hollywood musical of all time
+ Comedy also adds to the magic of the screenplay. (The microphone scene is priceless)
[Dislike]
- Lina's voice ;)

Plot Complexity:
Easy to comprehend

Best Movie Quote:
Lina. She can't act, she can't sing, she can't dance. A triple threat.
