Singin' in the Rain

1952 · TMDB 8.1

Directed by Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly

In 1927 Hollywood, a silent film star falls for a chorus girl just as he and his paranoid screen partner struggle to make the difficult transition to talking pictures.

Why it matters

Establishes the technicolour MGM template, athletic choreography, and Hollywood self-reflexivity that La La Land constantly homages.
