Just Swing Time and Top Hat, for shame! Which is why I loaded them all into my Netflix queue last week. I've seen them both in other movies - mostly Fred, but I saw Ginger in Stage Door and Gold Diggers of 1933 - and I adore old Hollywood musicals. They're just so shamelessly fun and delightful and ridiculous! And I took an awesome class on musicals back in college, so my film nerd brain is happy, too. ;)
Flying Down to Rio was better than I expected! There were actually some very funny lines, though the main love triangle was *terrible*. Julio was my favorite - he parachuted out a plane in a grand romantic gesture!- even though NO ONE COULD SAY HIS NAME RIGHT OMG. Dude, you're better off without the crazy lady, anyway.
