Vincente Minnelli’s The Band Wagon (1953), with breathtaking dancing by Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse in glorious Technicolor.

I'm a big fan of Cecil B. DeMille’s comedies. My favourite is his outrageous pre-code musical sex comedy Madam Satan (1930). Zeppelins, amazing costumes, lots of pre-code naughtiness. It all adds up to delirious crazy fun.

Grease (1978) is a movie I'd never seen. Not at all what I expected. It's kind of crazy, in an interesting way. The 50s and the 70s all mixed up together plus some extra weirdness. Seeing it now it has a bit of a psychotronic vibe. I liked it.

I guess I'll have to do the comfort movies thing. Here are mine:
Swing Time (1936). Fred and Ginger.
Danger! Diabolik! (1968). The best comic-book movie ever made.
Big Trouble in Little China (1986). John Carpenter's masterpiece.
The Silencers (1966). Dean Martin as Matt Helm. What more could you want?
