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.

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*

Singin' in the Rain very well might be my new favorite movie of all-time.

One of the most joyful films I've ever experienced. This film oozes happiness and fun. I can't believe it took me so long to see this.

Otro de mis clásicos pendientes... AL FIN VISTO.
Tenía una vaga noción de la película pero ahora, al verla completa, mis expectativas subieron. Son de esos films que se disfruta con saber poco, nada o lo suficiente. Una comedia musical donde los cuadros musicales están mas que justificados y apreciados, en planos largos, los pasos de baile como la calidad vocal de cada uno de los protagonistas, mientras atraviesan el vertiginoso y amenazante viaje por los estudios Hollywood: el studio-system, el star-system, la irrupción del sonido en pleno auge del cine mudo y muchos otros problemas que las producciones tenían que resolver para no quedarse atrás.
Para verla una y otra vez.

‘Make ‘em Laugh’ is incredible.
‘Broadway Ballet’ goes a bit too long.
Truly one of the best musicals ever made.

I'm not really fan of musicals, but I have to say that this masterpiece touched my heart. Funny and charming, all at once. Special mention to an outstanding Donald O'Connor. The only thing that bothered me a little was the fact that the dancing parts were quite long

Caught this after a rehearsal dinner. Missed the first fifteen minutes, but I'm still counting it.

What is meant by the term “movie magic.”

Never fails to put a smile on my face, however even I'm amazed how much Cosmo still makes me laugh.

As someone who regularly attends plays and grew up watching musicals, I am ashamed to say that this is the first time that I have seen Singin' in the Rain. This contains everything I love (and more) about both the musical genre and classic Hollywood: long takes, extravagant scenes, dancing, vocal talent, colorful wardrobe, comedy, and (of course) memorable songs. The impact of this movie cannot be understated as it continues to inspire filmmakers today; La La Land would not exist without this film.

Love this movie, had to watch this again for the 4th time over the years.

la la land who??
