Top Hat
Perhaps the best remembered of the 10 Astaire/Rogers musicals, Top Hat has it all: Art Deco elegance, a wonderfully addled storyline, loopy support from skilled farceurs and the incomparable chemistry of the two leads cheek-to-cheeking to Irving Berlin's finest film score. It's a wake-up call for romance when Fred's exuberant No Strings dance in his hotel suite disturbs the sleeping beauty (Ginger) in the room below. They meet cute, Fred decides he'd like a few strings (preferably a tied knot) a...0 points

Swing Time
It's Swing Time anytime Fred and Ginger slip on their dancing shoes. Here Fred's a gambler with a fiancee back home...but one look at Ginger and all bets are off! He pursues she resists and it's all tied together by a series of breathtaking dances. "Bojangles of Harlem" a tribute to hoofer Bill Robinson has Astaire tapping with three giant Astaire shadows. The sly "Pick Yourself Up" features Ginger teaching the supposedly flub-footed Fred how to dance. Other highlights from the splendid Jerome K...0 points
