They reunited with Kelly for their most successful project, the classic "Singin' in the Rain", about Hollywood in the final days of the silent film era. Considered by many film historians to be the best movie musical of all time, it ranked No. 10 on the list of the 100 best American movies of the 20th century compiled by the American Film Institute in 1998. They followed this with another hit, "The Band Wagon", in which the characters of Lester and Lily, a husband-and-wife team that writes the play for the show-within-a-show, were patterned after themselves. They were Oscar-nominated twice, for their screenplays for "The Band Wagon" and "It's Always Fair Weather", both of which earned them a Screen Writers Guild Award, as did "On the Town".
