I'm picky about musicals. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but I'm awfully reserved. Some completely throw me off guard with their creativity like 1981's Pennies from Heaven. Others make me want to rip my eyes and ears out (...Grease...admit it, Grease sucks). Then there were the ones I grew up on like The Wizard of Oz--which isn't just one of my all-time favorite movies, but one of my favorite musicals as well (if you'd classify it as such). However, when I think of the Hollywood musical and one full of dance numbers and pleasant story, only one film comes to mind: Singin' in the Rain. This is the perfect musical with one of the best stories the genre has to offer.
