| Dirty Dancing - 1987 - Directed by Emile Ardolino (Sister Act) - 96mins - Starring Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Jerry Orbach and Cynthia Rhodes. |
 Get ready for the time of your life! It’s the summer of 1963 and Baby (Grey) and her parents are on holiday at a resort in the Catskill Mountains. There she meets Johnny Castle (Swayze) the resorts dance instructor and gradually falls in love as she learns the sexy dance routines from her hunky partner - much to the disapproval of her father. The movie made Patrick Swayze a star and is crammed packed with great music and dance numbers. But remember “Nobody puts Baby in a corner!”. |

| Grease - 1978 - Directed by Randal Kleiser (Honey I Blew Up The Kid) - 110mins - Starring John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, Stockard Channing, Jeff Conaway and Sid Caesar. |
 This lively musical is a real homage to 1950’s American high school - well a stereotyped version of it! John Travolta stars as Danny Zuko the school bad boy who falls for the squeaky-clean Sandy (Olivia Newton-John). The musical numbers are very impressive with the song’s “Grease” (performed by Frankie Valli), “You’re The One That I Want” and “Summer Nights” standout tracks. Did you know that Olivia Newton John is actually 5 years older than John Travolta? The film was followed by a inferior sequel Grease 2 in 1982, starring Maxwell Caulfield and Michelle Pfeiffer. |

| My Fair Lady - 1964 - Directed by George Cukor (A Star Is Born)- 170mins - Starring Rex Harrison, Audrey Hepburn, Wilfred Hyde-White, Stanley Holloway, Gladys Cooper and Jeremy Brett. |
 A glorious adaptation of the Pygmalion play by G.B. Shaw. Rex Harrison is the stuffy Professor Henry Higgins who takes in the Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn) and for a bet attempts to transform her into a sophisticated young lady. The sets, costumes and musical numbers are all truly sumptuous with great supporting performances from Wilfred Hyde-White as Harrison’s fellow linguist and Stanley Holloway acting-up as Eliza’s dustman father. Okay, we admit that Audrey Hepburn is about a convincing a working class cockney as Dick Van Dyke and Marni Nixon does a great job dubbing her musical numbers, but this doesn’t distract from the film as a whole which thoroughly disserved its eight Oscars. Rather ironically the Best Actress Academy Award that year when to Julie Andrews (as Mary Poppins), who was originally the Eliza in the stage version of the play, but was overlooked for the movie. Pygmalion had previous be made into a very good movie in 1938 with Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller in the leading roles. |

| Singin’ In The Rain - 1952 - Directed by Gene Kelly & Stanley Donen - 102mins - Starring Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O’Connor, Cyd Charisse, Jean Hagen and Millard Mitchell. |
 Possibly the best screen musical ever made. The story involves Kelly and Jean Hagan as a silent screen romantic double act coming to grips with making the transformation to the talkies in the 1920’s. Unfortunately, Hagan’s voice is so shrill it shatters glass, which could spell disaster for the act, until they discover the beautiful Debbie Reynolds and use her voice to dub Hagan’s. The result is a fast paced movie featuring so many classic moments, including Gene Kelly swinging around lampposts while singing the title track during a rain storm, Cyd Charisse’s Veil Dance (which apparently took two weeks to record) and Donald O’Connor’s superb performance of ’Make em’ Laugh’, you really will enjoy every minute of it. |
