Movie - I'm torn. An American in Paris or Singing in the Rain. I'm a huge Gene Kelly fan.

| 10. used to be, but what jerome robbins did in west side story is stunning |
|
i like bernstein and sondhiem anyway. but the combo of the music and dance in west side story is tops in my book. gene kelly wasn't no slouch, and his "gotta dance" is classic, but robbins made a dance masterpiece

No contest. A million laughs. Great script, great acting, great dancing. Robert Preston as a senorita -- oh lordy lordy.
But I also adore the old Judy Garland-Mickey Rooney movies. Not exactly "musicals" but movies with musical numbers.

That last scene where Arthur tells the boy to run, run back to his village and tell the people that there once was a place where freedom and goodness shown brightly, if only for a moment. To run back and tell them so that the dream of Camelot would not die....
Sigh, I feel that someone must tell the children before the dark ages decend upon us again.....
