ohhhh, but An American in Paris.

I can't decide. It's impossible.

---

oh... I thought from the title of your thread that I could only select one.

Well, that changes things!

---

I love that one, too.

BT, this is just too hard... Can I cheat and say 'all of the above'?

---

I have two favorites: Meet Me In St. Louis and The HArvey Girls. My mother tells me that when I was a baby she used to sing the Atchinson Topeka and The Santa Fe to me and I would jump up and down in my play pen and clap my hands. My grandfather used to sing the Trolley song to me and it has been a favorite of mine to this day.

---

I have to sit down and watch more of these...

Edit: I didn't make sense before

Glebb may wish to tell you about luring me out of bed one day by putting Meet Me In St. Louis in the VCR in the living room and then turning the volume up. Yes, I got up! :0

Okay, absolute faves: An American In Paris, Meet Me In St Louis, Oz, Good News, For Me and My Gal, On the Town, The Pirate (adore that one), Kiss Me Kate

...and Summer Stock (one of my all time favorites)

Wow! I'm so ashamed to admit there are so many on that list I haven't seen! I need to get busy!

---

“Singin’ in the Rain”…That moment when the camera swoops in for a close-up as Gene Kelly sings “C’mon with the rain, I’ve a smile on my face” is just about as close to perfect as movies get.

Kiss Me Kate - you can't help but sing along to all of the wonderful songs!

Lately, I've been re-watching some of the older ones. Like Naughty Marietta and Babes In Toyland.

---

OK, the day was pretty crappy today , but just reading the list made me smile... I'm going to put in Meet Me In St. Louis and open up a good bottle of wine. Things are looking up :)

---

You've got to love Judy in that awful striped number with that long auburn hair!

---

oh, cookie....
by the way - happy belated birthday to you!!!

I just adore him, but I can't ignore him, the boy next door....
