1. Singin' in the Rain (1952)
Directed by Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly
Starring Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds
Nominated for 2 Oscars, Including Best Supporting Actress-Jean Hagen
If I were to end my countdown of the best movie musicals with anything other than the flawless "Singin' in the Rain", it would be anti-climatic. The cast has talent to burn, from Gene Kelly's 10-minute dance eye feast, to Donald O'Connor's unforgettable rendition of "Make 'Em Laugh", to Debbie Reynolds' "Good Morning" and Jean Hagen's stealing of every single scene. I would be hard pressed to find a movie that made me smile more. Hmm. Well I'll start next week's "Seven Best Romance Movies" next week. Meantime, I'm going to go rent this (why does this happen every time I think of this movie??).
