The MoFo Top 100 Musicals Countdown

My favorite movie color was the deep turquoise, it's everywhere. My favorite set, the cafe where mom served French Fries with a cheery dissipation, despite having lost the love of her life because she didn't like his last name....oui, that's fickle

Catherine Deveau....woohoo! hey that rhymes. Does she have screen presences or what! Though my favorite girl in the film wasn't even young, it was the twin's mom. I can't remember her name, but she was so lively and lit up the screen when the camera was on her. I really liked her and cared more for her storyline than anyone else.


And I see Bernado actually survived the knife fight and moved to France, where he lost his artificial tan and learned to be dubbed too. The guy get's around George Chakiris is real good here and a smooth dancer too. It was neat seeing Gene Kelley but he was a bit underused in this film.

Oh and I don't know why but the waitress in the cafe was interesting even though we never really get to know her, she seemed to have a story of her own.

Lots of fun lines in the movie, but the funniest part was when the gaiety turns dark with talk of carving up a murdered woman to stuff her in a box! Very clever of the director, or is that cleaver? Just when the audience needs a break from all that squeaky clean fun, the movie introduces a killer at large. I liked that too. I liked everything about the movie.

Also to reduce An American in Paris to pining and creeping is a complete misreading and misrepresentation of the film... so wait... you have seen it then?

between the pining or the creeping?

Also, for anyone paying attention, Taxi Driver is my 2nd favorite film and Gone With the Wind is also one of my favorite films of all time too so I was being fasticious when commenting how it's odd that anyone who can sit through Taxi Driver and four hours of Gone With the Wind would have trouble with a 17 minute sequence in An American in Paris. That must have got lost in translation somehow or just went above your heads.

Miss Vicky - yes he did say pining and creeping. They sure as Hell weren't my words. Here it is AGAIN because you know... you like to state TLDR with my posts. Apprently that's true, but you have no issue to responding to things that you TLDR.

And at which point in those two films is there a 15 minute dance sequence between the pining or the creeping? Because I've seen both numerous times and I've yet to spot it in either of them.

After this comment I had to check out your top 10. Interesting because it includes a film about some dude who drives around at night complaining and creeping on people for the whole two hours and also some film about a spoiled southern brat who pines after some effeminate dude who doesn't even like her and she just whines about it for four hours. Gosh after thinking about that, I wouldn't think a 15 minute dance sequence would be too bad. And yeah, it's all in one go. The whole 15... 17 minutes of it. What torture!

IWe're all different and have different tolerance levels.

I like how you conveniently edited out the part that shows you're wrong. Here's what he actually said:



"Those two films" referring to his favorites, not An American In Paris.

And they are your words:

OK Miss Vicky... reading comprehension time!

"And at which point in those two films is there a 15 minute dance sequence between the pining or the creeping?"

That is what he said

those two films = Gone With the Wind and Taxi Driver.

"At which point... is there a 15 minute dance sequence between the pining or the creeping?"

Tell me Miss Vicky, what is the antecedent of the OTHER FILM in question that we are discussing that... according to him, UNLIKE Gone With the Wind and Taxi DOES have pining and creeping?

Yes, that would be, An American in Paris!

This is why reading comprehension is important Miss Vicky. But again, FOR THE THIRD TIME, you have responded to my posts multiple times in multiple threads with smart ass comments followed by TLDR.

But since you feel the need to go and respond to so many of my posts, and this is getting to be a bad habit of yours, in just a completely asinine, rude, and flippant manner AND not only that but since you completely misrepresent at best and lie at worst about what I say or am stating and in doing so you're completely living up to your own title by self admission. I'm just going to go ahead and put you on my ignore list AND I recommend that you go ahead and put me on your ignore list too. Thank you!

The same can be said for Rochefort

What about when it passes the boredom stretch and just becomes funny because it goes on for a ridiculous amount of time.
