AFI Films: Singin' in the Rain

In a mission that is perfectly lazy yet feels ambitious, I've been attempting to watch all 100 movies on the most recent list from the American Film Institute. I've now seen 36.

Today I finished "Singin' in the Rain." The love story bit didn't do much for me: When the characters fall in love out of nowhere, I had to roll my eyes. And the plot never seemed to contain a hint of tension or conflict. I don't want to trash a film with such unbridled joy, but I much prefer "West Side Story."
