singin in the rain

Singin in the rain (1952) is one of the most entertaining, optimistic and sweet movies i have ever watched. It's impossible for this movie not to fill you with joy and excitement and not to make you look at life in a more delightful way at least for a little while. It's one of those shows that end on the screen leaving you with the need to sing and dance and smile and want to make the others laugh with you.

The musical co-directed by Stanley Donen and acrobatic dancer-star-choreographer Gene Kelly is a funny satire of the difficulties that troubled Hollywood production studios during the transition from silent to spoken movies. Very comprehensive details can be found here.
