No Place Like Movies at Home: Singin' in the Rain

"Here we are Sunset and Camden"... ok not really there but it's one of my favorite lines in the movie Singin' in the Rain. The first movie on watching all of the movies that I own is not what I thought it was going to be. I really thought I would choose The Wizard of Oz but when it came down to me finally having free time and wanting to watch a movie that I own I really wanted to watch Singin' in the Rain.



This is my 3rd favorite movie of all time. It has been a while since I really sat down and watching them film. I think that it's the most wonderful musical ever made. It's one of those rare movies that while it's really fun to watch it hits you in all the emotions on the spectral of the human being. It hits them but not in an over whelming kind of a way. You really want to punch Mr. Gene Kelly sometimes, and sometimes you want to punch Ms. Debbie Reynolds. What I really love about this movie is Donald O'Connor. When I first watched the film many in elementary school I really didn't remember him much. However, when I rediscovered the film in middle school found his "Make'em Laugh" Scene was the one that really stuck with me. However, as I got older he has become my favorite character of the film. He is hilarious, cares about his friends, and really loves his job. H want well respected with the people that he works with, and he can really keep up with Gene Kelly. He is one of those characters that you feel like you can relate to him. I can't not dance or do any of those moves that he does. However, I fell like we could be really good friends with him.

This is just one of those movies that you can watch and re-watch and always enjoy it. There is always something new to learn about this film and there is always a new element to the appreciate.
