i'm recording tarzan the ape man (weissmuller's first time in the role)

i think tarzan and his mate is supposed to be really good too

The skinny-dipping scene is certainly worth seeing at least once. (/dirtyoldman)

This was absolutely great and I'm glad I watched it, but probably wouldn't make my top 100 films. There were some surprising occasions of camera shakiness/juddering during a few dolly or crane shots.

I can give you a list of 20 better musicals. Sometime.

That's my favorite thing about old crane shots!
― Eric H., Friday, 24 August 2012 16:10 (eleven years ago) link
Morbs, I look forward to that list! Would A Hard Day's Night be on it?
― Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Friday, 24 August 2012 16:24 (eleven years ago) link
not *strictly* a musical, probably a better film tho
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Friday, 24 August 2012 16:29 (eleven years ago) link
I'd like to see that list too tho kjb obv the ilx movie musical expert
― Mordy, Friday, 24 August 2012 16:30 (eleven years ago) link
except in a few cases, characters must sing in non-performance scenes (only great exception I can think of is Cabaret)
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Friday, 24 August 2012 16:30 (eleven years ago) link
anyway w/ MGM you can start w/ Meet Me in St Louis, Gigi, An American in Paris, and The Band Wagon.
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Friday, 24 August 2012 16:33 (eleven years ago) link
I've seen all four! We watched invitation to the dance (I think that was the title) during the Astaire block the other day. Very weird & not very good
― Mordy, Friday, 24 August 2012 16:34 (eleven years ago) link
isn't that Kelly?
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Friday, 24 August 2012 16:36 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, that's Kelly, and was on yesterday afternoon. I watched the first segment of it and was boggled by Claire Sombert's muscles.
― Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Friday, 24 August 2012 16:40 (eleven years ago) link
Yes thx
― Mordy, Friday, 24 August 2012 18:14 (eleven years ago) link
Gigi, more like Gi-Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'm just lashing out bc Singing In The Rain got besmirched, tbh
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 24 August 2012 18:33 (eleven years ago) link
I like all the other suggestions just fine, btw. Gigi is the only one I've no use for.
― Eric H., Friday, 24 August 2012 18:35 (eleven years ago) link
Minnelli's great when he's on, but he's not the ONLY awesome musical director out there.
prefer Hermione Baddeley to Hermione Gingold, eh? xp
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Friday, 24 August 2012 18:37 (eleven years ago) link
well there's also Love Me Tonight for all you Chevalier bashers

― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Friday, 24 August 2012 18:39 (eleven years ago) link
(I believe that's Stephin Merritt's choice for #1 and he's seen plenty)
That's a great movie. Watch it if you haven't seen it.
(I like Hermione Gingold tons in The Music Man.)
― Eric H., Friday, 24 August 2012 18:48 (eleven years ago) link
Love Me Tonight's opening rhythms-of-the-city is like '30s Stomp.
― Eric H., Friday, 24 August 2012 18:49 (eleven years ago) link
oh, I've seen it.
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Friday, 24 August 2012 18:51 (eleven years ago) link
i think i'd go with The Band Wagon maybe
― The muted sensation feels amazeballs. (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 25 August 2012 01:48 (eleven years ago) link
Meet Me in St Louis, Gigi, An American in Paris, and The Band Wagon
I believe there are 4 'stars' of this group of films who are still alive.

it’s with great honor that I report to you that an hour’s worth of rare silent-era animation from my collection will be airing on Turner Classic Movies, *tonight*, at 12am eastern/9pm pacific. For this very special and long overdue broadcast event, we’ve curated several rare, once-thought-lost, historically significant or just downright funny cartoons produced in New York City between 1907 and 1926. That’s not all, though--TCM host Robert Osborne, with Jerry Beck co-hosting, are also presenting both Fleischer features, a block of UPA cartoons, and The Adventures of Prince Achmed in addition to the early NYC shorts. It’s not to be missed! I hope some or many of you can tune in or set your DVR in time.
