I had never seen this movie before but my friends Jocey and Celia insisted I had to, and I’m so glad I did. :) The “Make ‘Em Laugh” sequence has been something I’ve known and loved for years, and I can’t believe I was depriving myself of the rest of this film for so long. Gorgeous, vibrant, joyful, funny, and cornball in all the best ways. 

And the dancing! A beautiful physicality that is all but gone from modern film in the most crushing way. It’s why those dancing scenes with Channing Tatum in Hail, Caesar! made my heart soar so much; a glimmer of what talent might still exist, hidden in the repertoire of some of our greatest stars, if only someone were to just fucking usher it out of them! Give us more incredible choreographed dancing routines, goddamn it! The people deserve it!

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.

cosmo is the true star of this film where is his movie where is his oscar

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*

if you have noticed a sudden uptick in 20th century classics on your activity feed, don’t worry, it’s just me, trying to develop some Taste over here. and my god. i am loving it

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”

Dignity. Always dignity.

Had this on in the background while I got some work done and I had a great time!

I forgot how... good it is??? Like actually laugh out loud funny, the dancing is unmatched, the sets are shockingly big and beautiful and lit with such depth that they’re all so impressive... I love it

this is some movie magic

Is there a more prefect movie?  No, there is not.

One of those films you could watch a hundred times and still delight in.

Contagiosa al grado de que se te olvida la "cringiness" percibida del género y te haces un creyente.

Bro what's not to love about this one. I think this is the movie that made me love musicals.

the less hot male sidekick really brought the heat in literally every musical number he’s in. i’m late to this party by like 6 decades but this is good movie.

Iconic in every way. I didn't realize how much bearing this movie had on pop culture until now.
