feel good movie of the century

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2001)

There are some movies that you can just watch repeatedly without being bored. There's Jaws, there's Star Wars, there are the Indiana Jones flicks and North By North West. All adventure movies with fun scenes and a lot of action. There's also Singin' in the rain however, the ultimate comedy feel good musical. This is such a great movie. Too bad for the overlong dance scene at the end, but the story is amazing. I have the script at home and it's brilliant to read as well. I can honestly say, that when feeling sad this is the movie I put in my VCR (sorry no DVD yet)! Gene Kelly is the best. Let's hope Jamie Bell (Billy Elliott) will finally bring some cheerful dancing back to the screen.
