Classic Movie Cafe

For this weekend's recommendations I will be recommending 3 great musicals I'm not sure why I am picking musicals but it feels like a singing weekend don't you think. So here are 3 musicals i think you will like.Meet me in St Luis I love this movie so much I can watch it a zillion times and never get tired of it in this movie the talented Judy Garlandstars as Esther Smith, who just can't ignore the boy next door (Tom Drake), in directorVincente Minnelli's musical masterpiece about the trials and tribulations of a tight-knit family living in St. Louis on the eve of the 1904 World's Fair. Memorable characters and charming songs, which include "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "The Trolley Song," make this one of the greatest American musicals ever lensed.


Singing In the RainI don't know of any greater classic movie than this one I love Debbie Reynolds in this movie her personality will capture your heart. Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor combine their talents in one of the greatest big-screen musicals ever made, a two-time Oscar nominee that includes the songs "Good Morning," "Make 'Em Laugh" and the iconic title tune. When Hollywood attempts the transition from silent films to talkies, a matinee idol (Kelly) hopes to make the cut. But he's hampered by a silent-movie queen (Jean Hagen) with a voice like fingernails on a blackboard.
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers If you are a big fan of handsome mountain men that can sing well than this is the movie for you I love this movie and I think Milly is my hero. Set on a ranch in the Oregon Territory, this rousing musical tells the story of Adam (Howard Keel) and his six unruly brothers. Adam marries Milly (Jane Powell), who's appalled by the motley crew and takes it upon herself to tame them. Longing to become husbands like their brother, the boys go into town and kidnap six lovely women for themselves. Not without chaos and uproar, the boys and their wives eventually find happiness.
