Musicals
So, when I asked about classic movies, many, many peeps rec'd me Singing in the Rain and Some Like It Hot - both hilarious movies; that actress with the screechy voice in the former and the famous "Nobody's perfect" phrase in the latter - both are a hoot!
Yet my favorite musical is Gigi with Leslie Caron and Louis Jordan:
The summary says: Weary of the conventions of Parisian society, a rich playboy and a youthful courtesan-in-training enjoy a platonic friendship, but it may not stay platonic for long.
And it's a hoot, too! I just love how Gaston is so incredibly bored and only Gigi can entertain him, the little girl he became friends with, because she's so honest and down-to-earth. But when he realizes that the "little girl" isn't a little girl anymore, his world turns upside down. It's hilarious! Set around 1900 in Paris, the atmosphere is perfect, perfect!
