Movie Review: Singin' In The Rain

So I saw this again recently, and I hadn't seen it in so long that it was almost like watching it for the first time, again. Well, it's even better than I remember. Great musical numbers, a great look that is reproduced fantastically on Warner's 2 Disc Special Edition DVD, heck, I can't imagine it looking better when it was first released in theatres. The colours jump off the screen and the amount is detail is staggering for such an old film, I've seen many recent releases that look worse than this movie. Every single member of the cast is pitch-perfect, hitting all the high notes, both musically and comedically. The cast looks like they were having fun making the movie, and this makes the film even more fun to watch, it's a real joy to watch this. Warner's Special Edition DVD has the aforementioned fantastic transfer, sound is provided in a fancy new Dolby Digital 5.1 track that sounds great, but is never too flashy for its own good. Purists will appreciate that the original mono track is included. Extras are high in quantity and quality. This is the best kind of DVD, a great movie, looks great, sounds great, tons of great extras. The great looking transfer would be enough for any fan, but the well rounded package puts it over the top. I know it's cliche, but they really don't make 'em like this anymore. Maybe the best movie musical ever, and certainly one of the best DVDs ever.
