Singing In The Rain
Yes. I love musicals. If that makes me gay then I guess I’m gay. (Errr, in the happy sense of the word. It is my hypothesis that happy people are more likely to enjoy musicals because if you were really depressed all that singing and dancing would probably be really fucking annoying and serve only to depress you further).
Singing In The Rain makes me want to talk in purely review speak: makes me want to use phrases like "pure cinematic delight", "scrumptious feast", "true classic", "marvellous musical", etc, etc. I consider it second only to Citizen Kane in my favourite classic...although I admit classics isn’t exactly the first section of the video store I head to when I walk in the door.
There is one thing that keeps churning over in my mind when I watch this: How does Kelly make dancing look so masculine and suave? He has to be the coolest person named ‘Gene’ that’s ever been.
