A movie I was told to watch because I thought I didn't like musicals: and it went straight into my list of favourites. "They should prescribe this movie" yes they should!
The greatest movie musical ever made. Gene Kelly is excellent, Donald O'Connor is wonderful, and Debbie Reynolds, may she rest in peace, really steals the picture. Great songs include Good Mornin, You are my Lucky Star, and the iconic Singin in the Rain song and dance performance by Kelly. Also, Cyd Charisse gives the best dancing performance with Kelly, which followed by The Band Wagon with Fred Astaire. A definite film to watch.
A landmark MGM musical. Sadly, all the cast are gone now. With Debbie Reynolds passing away in 2016. Is it me or this film plot almost similar to the 2011 film, the Artist? I forgot, Rita Moreno is still alive. Gene Kelly masterpiece and worth it to watch Him dance along with Cyd Charisse.
Remember, Singing in the Rain was written for an earlier film. It was sung in two previous movies, including once by Judy Garland. You can see it in That's Entertainment.
We watched this in film studies when I was in College and I thought I was way too cool for a musical. Looking back I was just being fucking Philistine.
One of my brothers-in-law recent said that he doesn't re-watch movies. I could only think "But, what about Singin' in the Rain"?!? I think I've bought it in every video format that exists (the Warner Archive bluray is finally perfect, accept no substitutes).
I've seen documentaries about Kubrick wherein Malcolm MacDowell tells about how the idea for having Alex in "A CLOCKWORK ORANGE" sing "Singing In The Rain" during two crucial scenes (as well as in the End Credits) came about. As I recall, they were stumped, the scene where Alex and his Droogs rape the writer's wife lacking that certain... something. Then Malcolm, I think, thought up the notion of performing this song -- choreographing his kicks (etc.) to the music -- and Kubrick, ever willing to go with a great idea that makes his movie even better, was gaga for it, immediately securing the rights to use the song in the movie. I've always wondered what Gene Kelly thought of that!
Sorry, Mr. Landis, but there IS NO MILK IN THE WATER to see to see the raindrops! Sublime cinematography and lighting deserve the credit. My late husband Gene Kelly confirmed this on numerous occasions as did co-director Stanley Donen. It is time to put this myth to rest, please.
The colors in this film! So sharp and contrasting. Almost psychedelic. This movie and An American in Paris created candy worlds I want to live in

This movie is an absolute masterpiece.
I watch it at least once a year.

Make Em Laugh is my favorite musical number of all time.
Love your dapper wardrobe.
Gene Kelly was not only a fantastic performer, he was also one of the Screen's greatest choreographers.
God how I love this movie.

"No! No! No!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
RIP Debbie

It's early in the morning where I are, John Landis. (So nosy.)
