I was going to write a long review eulogising about the spellbinding choreography, the timeless songs and the one-of-a-kind chemistry between the cast but what is the point when every film fan already knows what a timeless classic it is? It is easy to be cynical about the Hollywood machine, and even the film itself gently satirises the system that made it, yet every now and again that soulless production line churns out a perfectly formed piece of screen magic where every element is in perfect unity. In 1952 such an event occurred and Singin’ in the Rain has been enthralling generations of people ever since.
It is pure undiluted cinema at its finest.

My grandmother had the biggest crush on Gene Kelly when she was very young. Most women did. The guy was handsome, talented, and flooded the room with his charisma. But my grandmother's relationship with Gene Kelly was special. Kelly was a dead ringer for her uncle, who shared a closer relationship with each other than my grandmother did with her own father. My great uncle didn't just look like Gene Kelly: He danced like Gene Kelly. He sung like Gene Kelly. He practically was Gene Kelly. My grandmother and her uncle went everywhere together, especially the movies.
But my grandmother only got to know my great uncle for a relatively short amount of time. He died in 1943 when she…

I hate this film.
It makes me want to sing and dance.
And whenever I sing and dance a unicorn loses its horn.
Turning it into a horse with an ugly bald spot.
Forcing a mane comb over.
A mane over.
Manover.
Mover.
Move.
And we're back to dancing.
Bloody film.
*dances away to the sound of falling unicorn horns*

but im realizing that with each classic film i watch i dumbfoundedly tell everyone i know that IT REALLY IS GREAT! only to be met with a chorus of some variation of “we know, bitch”

نبضات مع الحياة .. في فيلم جميل بموسيقى رائعة تتركك مع ابتسامة كبيرة ..
دعوة ناجحة إلى التفاؤل وعدم اليأس ، والتزام الحكمة التي توصل إلى الهدف .. وهو لوحات متلاحقة من الضحك والمرح ونسيان الهموم ، ومشاهد راقصة مُمتعة لهواة هذا النمط المفقود ، تحمل طابعاً كوميدياً ظريفاً في معالجة المشكلات وحتى في خلقها ، تُحفة سينمائية موسيقية مُدهشة ! التمثيل كان رائعاً ، الموسيقى رائعة ، العُنصر الرومنسي في الفيلم كان رائعاً .. كل شيء رائع في هذا الفيلم !

Pure nostalgic joy, amazing production (albeit a little bit sexist)
Review by Søren Saunders ★★★★½

So-so-sooo good, but that Dancing Cavalier sequence could've been shorter.
Review by Paul Dyer ★★★★★

There is literally nothing I don’t love about this wondrous movie.
The musical numbers have become the stuff of Hollywood legend and rightfully so. Gene Kellys and Stanley Donens direction and especially the inch perfect choreography, is awe inspiring. The technical mastery on show from Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor and Cyd Charisse is something the likes of which have rarely been seen on celluloid.
Jean Hagen is a laugh riot as Lina Lamont with that voice being like an entertaining nails down a chalkboard.
Truly wonderful
