I really like old movies and have a particular affinity for 'golden era' musicals. these clips might cheer you up on a down day (will keep adding to the thread each day)
Ann Miller is a beast in this Busby Berkeley choreographed clip from 'Small Town Girl' (1953)
Fred Astaire tap dancing with dang firecrackers in 'Holiday Inn' (1942). I watched this scene over and over again as a teenager on something called a 'DVD'
the (heavily underrated) Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds in 'I Love Melvin' (1953). They have more chemistry than Debbie and Gene in 'Singin' in the Rain' do! Yeah man, I said it!
The Nicholas Brothers in 'Orchestra Wives' (1942). Best dancers of their time and should have been in a thousand more movies
I have a thing for Ray Bolger! Best known for being the Scarecrow a.k.a. the hottest one in the Wizard of Oz. Why else does Dorothy say "I'll miss you the most" at the end!

This clip from 'The Great Ziegfeld' (1936) shows him being young n silly
Busby Berkeley choreographed some insane routines, and I particularly love the ones that involve water. Here's a clip from 'Footlight Parade' (1933)
