Obviously, this is also one of my favorite MGM musicals. I can't get enough MGM, and the color and humor and sounds from the movie just radiate pure energy and fun. I think this falls just behind "On The Town" as my favorite MGM musical. My favorite number is 'Make em laugh'. Donald O'Connor's energy is fantastic.

Yeah, I know that On the Town tops this for you, but On the Town is also totally awesome. I think I just like Gene Kelly a bit more in this.

It's kinda weird, but I don't like "Make 'em Laugh" as much as I used to. I totally admit, it's unparalleled, tremendously funny, and Donald O'Connor is AMAZING, but I just think I've seen it one too many times. It's lost a bit of the amazement factor. Totally awesome, yes. As mind-blowing as when I first saw it? Not really.

Pretty much, yep.

I don't even have that coherent of a review because the movie is so awesome. It's hard to say intelligent stuff when you're overflowing with joy.

HOW DO I NOT HAVE ANY GENE KELLY ICONS?!?!?!?!

HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO REVIEW THIS NOW, DARLING?!?! I COULD NEVER WRITE A BETTER REVIEW THAN THIS.

YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH. ABOUT EVERYTHING. THIS MOVIE. THIS MOVIE.

Oh come now, this was hardly a good review. I was actually at a bit of a loss for Singin' In The Rain, because it's just so GOOD. I just love it because it makes me feel so happy, and somehow, that's a bit difficult to put into words!!!

YOU NEED TO REVIEW IT AS WELL!!!

Hello. I just joined this community and I think you and zombres write really interesting/fun reviews. I hope I can become a contributing member to this great little community.

Hey, thanks! It's great to hear that people other than me and zombres actually read what we write here! We basically just wanted a place to talk about movies, so she set up film_flammers. PLEASE - join in the discussion! If there's a movie you really like, tell us why! We're definitely both in our "what are our favorite movies?" phases, and I'd love to hear about other people's favorites as well!

Thanks for the comment!
