    Singin' in the Rain

    ★★★★★

    To get to see this film for the first time on the silver screen in our nearly hundred year old theater was a genuine treat to end my birthday with.

    I’ve said all this countless times, but I will happily say it again. Singin’ in the Rain is a damn near timeless film that will always hold a special place in my heart even if it’s removed from my Letterboxd Four (I fucking doubt it). It’s funny, and well-choreographed, costumed,…

    I feel like at this point it’s known that I go crazy for zany, weird little films with satirical elements, as well as Stephen King, so this obviously was a slam dunk for me. I don’t think I’ve been so utterly flabbergasted by a film in a while, and my jaw dropped numerous times. I think this is already going to go down as one of my top favorites of 2025.
