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
