1.White Christmas starring: Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, Vera-Ellen, Dean Jagger directed by: Michael Curtiz November 07, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I have loved this movie ever since I was a young kid. It is a classic. I watch it every Christmas season just to get me in the spirit. We rarely get snow in South Carolina, but it helps to remind me a bygone days. It's just a fun little movie with some classic actors and actresses that are gone to movie heaven...at least, I hope.

2.Sun Valley Serenade starring: Sonja Henie, John Payne, Glenn Miller, Milton Berle, Lynn Bari directed by: H. Bruce Humberstone April 21, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.46
This is one of my favorite "feel good" movies of all time. A lot of fun (with a YOUNG Milton Berle) and some of the BEST mucic ever filmed. Have a heart and bring this out!!!!

3.The Music Man starring: Robert Preston, Shirley Jones, Buddy Hackett, Hermione Gingold, Paul Ford directed by: Morton DaCosta, Scott Benson September 19, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.68
I missed the original movie, am going to watch this when a neighbor returns. We enjoy viewing movies at home once or twice a month.

4.Singin' in the Rain starring: Cyd Charisse, Mae Clarke, Harry Cody, Douglas Fowley, Lance Fuller directed by: Stanley Donen September 19, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
We received it from NetFlix, she watched it 3x in a row! Bought it for a Christmas present. Gene Kelly is fabulous, and Donald O'Connor's athleticism and stamina in "Make 'Em Laugh" is amazing. Great song and dance numbers for any age.

5.Holiday Inn starring: Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, Marjorie Reynolds, Virginia Dale, Walter Abel directed by: Mark Sandrich March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I know this movie was made a long time ago but the blackface routine for the song, "Abraham", is absolutely insulting. I wouldn't want my kids to see this movie. I can't believe that anyone could have watched this movie when it came out and not be embarressed.

6.Springtime in the Rockies (1942) starring: Betty Grable, Carmen Miranda, John Payne, Cesar Romero, Charlotte Greenwood directed by: Irving Cummings January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.99
There's a lot to enjoy in this goofy, perfunctory Fox backstager. The casting (fun, quirky) is the star here, trying perhaps to recapture the mood of a 1930's screwball comedy. No one -- particularly the writers and the director -- will ever be accused of laboring too much on this one. The actors know that there isn't much drama and there isn't much comedy, but they deliver what they can. A couple of small delights: 1. Some of the makeup and hair on this VHS is outrageously unflattering in the technicolor -- and that's part of the 1940's charm; 2. The camera work is particularly undistinguished. They weren't going to go into overtime making this one! 3. The young Jackie Gleason is aboard as a frustrated theatrical manager. I'm so happy I stumbled upon this movie. ... Read More

7.Stepping Out starring: Liza Minelli, Jane Krakowski, Bill Irwin, Ellen Greene, Sheila McCarthy directed by: Lewis Gilbert (II) January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.79
Liza Minelli is such a brilliantly expressive actor and dancer, that she can overcome any tired cliche that's thrown at her (starting with the title of this film), and this one has cliches that weren't even cliches in 1991. She's so great in every scene that the viewer forgets that the talents of Andrea Martin, for example, are wasted. Wasted. Shelley Winters gets a slightly better chance to show her skills, as the wizened, retired theatre exponent who nonetheless plays piano part-time for the troupe, almost defiantly lousy. (But at the big show, there she is in the orchestra pit!). Yes, men are beasts throughout this early-era militant feminist flick. The only non-beast is the solitary xy-entity in the class, a sissified straight guy, badly acted and terrifically danced by Bill Irwin. Liza plays ... Read More

8.Chocolate Soldier starring: Nelson Eddy, Risë Stevens, Nigel Bruce, Florence Bates, Dorothy Raye directed by: Roy Del Ruth December 11, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.95
Nobody is better than Jeanette Macdonald to be teamed with Nelson Eddy, but Rise Stevens did a pretty good job. She is beautiful and sings pretty good...good enough to be with Nelson Eddy for the Chocolate Soldier. There is music, drama, great costumes and nice sets. The story flows pretty good and is pleasant to the end. Another movie that ive seen in the past as a child that has contributed to the music surrounding me in my Adult world. A keeper..enjoy.

9.The Boy Friend (1971) starring: Twiggy, Christopher Gable, Max Adrian, Bryan Pringle, Murray Melvin directed by: Ken Russell September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $28.99
One must never compare the Stage to the Film when it comes to musicals. Sometimes they are better than the original. Sometimes worse. ALWAYS different! That's just the nature of the transition. This is one of the great film musicals of all time. It's just not Sandy Wilson's "The Boy Friend". I love the stage play as well. This is a musical film about a production of the stage musical with all kinds of backstage intrigue as well as the terrific device of seeing a number "as is", as the director would have done if only he had money, and as the film maker in attendance would make a movie of the same number. Divine!

10.Give a Girl a Break starring: Marge Champion, Gower Champion, Debbie Reynolds, Helen Wood, Bob Fosse directed by: Stanley Donen September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.95
Oh woe is me..All of this talent and, I cant enjoy it because its on a lousy VHS tape instead of a glorious DVD!
