24) Singin' in the Rain

"Singin' in the Rain" was FANTASTIC! So far it is most definitely my favorite movie that I watched from this list. The plot was so interesting to movie fanatics like myself and the actors were really talented. I liked the most how these actors could really act, sing, and dance. They are the true definition of a triple threat. The love story was very moving. I want a guy to be so in love with me that he gets soaked in the rain singing because he is so happy. I also wish that i could randomly burst into song and dance and others would pick up and join me, but that's a little far fetched. The songs are really good, I especially loved "Would you". That song is so beautiful and made me cry. When Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) set the stage to tell Kathy Seldon (Debbie Reynolds) that he likes her and sings that song, my heart melted. The backdrop was a sunrise and there were different color lights and a slight wind. Gene Kelly has such an amazing voice and so does Debbie Reynolds, and they can both dance too. Cosmo was hilarious as Don's best friend, he could sing and dance well too, but i specifically liked his goofy nature. Lina was really funny because of her voice. She was beautiful but her voice was so funny to listen to. She really made me angry though how she manipulated people and wanted all the fame, even by trying to destroy Kathy's career and the relationship between Don and Kathy. All in all, everyone needs to see this movie! It is not an annoying musical but the songs make sense in the context. Such a great movie! I would consider it one of my favorite movies of all time.
