Today is Gene Kelly's Birthday.
I bring this up because I've recently gotten into watching old movies. The other day I was watching TV and they had the original Sabrina playing on Turner Classic Movies. I watched it and loved it. From there I went on to watch funny face and my fair lady. After I finished watching those movies I went to blockbuster to rent breakfast at Tiffany's, Singin' in the Rain, and Casablanca. I bought a Judy Garland boxed set and I have to say... I love old movies! I really didn't know what I was missing. I was never really interested in watching old movies but it's worth it, if only to expand your horizons. There are so many references made to these great films and now I understand why. Now I'm going to go on Disney's "The great movie ride" and actually appreciate it for what it truly is. I'm so excited. Speaking of the great movie ride.... Gene Kelly actually went to inspect his animatronic self. That's so awesome. Ingrid Berman's daughter and granddaughters went to inspect the animatronic representation of her. A lot of the props in the foyer of the great movie ride are actually the originals. Wow.
