My All-time Favourite Movie!

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2015)

I've been watching this timeless classic ever since I was a kid, and the appeal hasn't waned one bit down the line. The music and the dance, the laughs and the charm, not to mention a truly charismatic Gene Kelly at 42.... this isn't a movie, it's an experience. As a singer myself, I think it's one of the finest to ever come out of the Hollywood camp. It's also an instant pick-me-up for me. Whenever I'm down, I play the movie and am assured of some great laughs. In fact, I've tried to ape Kelly's famous rain dance sequence and fallen ill as a result! To me, it will always be the most magnificent musical ever made, much ahead of Sound of Music or West Side Story or My Fair Lady.
