I really like old movies and have a particular affinity for & #39;golden era& #39; 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 & #39;Small Town Girl& #39; (1953) https://youtu.be/dHYL9bNxaIU ">https://youtu.be/dHYL9bNxa...
Fred Astaire tap dancing with dang firecrackers in & #39;Holiday Inn& #39; (1942). I watched this scene over and over again as a teenager on something called a & #39;DVD& #39; https://youtu.be/2LxlaCBhekU ">https://youtu.be/2LxlaCBhe...
the (heavily underrated) Donald O& #39;Connor and Debbie Reynolds in & #39;I Love Melvin& #39; (1953). They have more chemistry than Debbie and Gene in & #39;Singin& #39; in the Rain& #39; do! Yeah man, I said it! https://youtu.be/VGlRcTg9EMw ">https://youtu.be/VGlRcTg9E...
The Nicholas Brothers in & #39;Orchestra Wives& #39; (1942). Best dancers of their time and should have been in a thousand more movies https://youtu.be/t521jxF8tyc ">https://youtu.be/t521jxF8t...
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& #39;ll miss you the most" at the end!
This clip from & #39;The Great Ziegfeld& #39; (1936) shows him being young n silly https://youtu.be/qpadaGgzDG0 ">https://youtu.be/qpadaGgzD...

Busby Berkeley choreographed some insane routines, and I particularly love the ones that involve water. Here& #39;s a clip from & #39;Footlight Parade& #39; (1933) https://youtu.be/FRqcZcrgPaU ">https://youtu.be/FRqcZcrgP...
