I'd normally come on here and give my...less than enthusiastic appraisal of F Is for Fake, but acoleuthic voted for it, so I'd better not open that door.

Oops--it was someone else, not acoleuthic. So: I saw it last winter for the first time and thought it was sad. (Sorry.) Bad-sad, not good-sad. Except for a short passage where he got very Ambersons-like nostalgic, which was good-sad. I know it has a major following.
Charming as ever.

I'm about an hour into Singin In The Rain and this is honestly one of the most joyous, purely entertaining films I've ever seen. Face is aching from grinning.
If ever a film deserved to have the 'see before you die' designation..

It's exceedingly cute and well-executed. Other MGM musicals are deeper.

Two days into this, and the only vote for Citizen Kane shares space with Air Bud 2 and Barely Legal #15. This is very ominous for 2012. (Or maybe very promising for Air Bud 2 and Barely Legal #15.)
