Blue Skies (1946,  Unrated)
Blue Skies
A very enjoyable film, and my personal favorite, this film has a weak plot, but it is still fun because of Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire working together. The music by Irving Berlin made the film enjoyable (they even worked in Bing singing "White Christmas" again). The best part of the film, though, was Fred Astaire's rendition of "Puttin' on the Ritz", made all the more fun by the fact that it was the only time we got to see multiple Fred Astaires on the screen at the same time.

Easter Parade (1948,  Unrated)
Easter Parade
A very enjoyable film, especially around Easter! Fred and Judy worked well together, and they had many wonderful Irving Berlin songs to work with! Highlights include Fred's "Drum Crazy" and "Steppin' Out with My Baby" routines, and anything that Judy sang! Fun to watch anytime!
3
Top Hat (1935,  Unrated)
Top Hat
The most enjoyable of the Astaire/ Rogers films. A great supporting cast made it quite funny, and this film gave Fred two defining songs: "Top Hat, White Tie, and Tails" which solidified his trademark outfit, and "Cheek to Cheek" which almost defined Fred and Ginger as a dancing team as well as what fred Astaire was known for doing with almost all his partners.
4
Carefree (1938,  Unrated)
Carefree
I enjoyed this film immensely. I think the Irving Berlin score worked as usual, and the comedy made this film fun to watch. Of course, the dancing was fun to watch, in between the "Yam" and "Change Partners" with Fred hypnotizing Ginger, and the dream sequence for "I Used to be Colorblind." Just a joy to watch!
5
Follow the Fleet (1936,  Unrated)
Follow the Fleet
An enjoyable film. Fred and Ginger were fun to watch, and the Irving Berlin music was splendid as always. In particular, the "Let's Face the Music and Dance" number was absolutely spellbinding to watch! It was different seeing Fred in a sailor suit as compared to his famous top hat, white tie, and tails for most of the movie, but he made it work! A enjoyable experience every time!
6
The Sky's the Limit (1943,  Unrated)
The Sky's the Limit
I enjoyed this film very much, and I liked some of the inside jokes about people that both Fred Astaire and Joan Leslie had worked with (Ginger Rogers and Rita Hayworth for Fred Astaire and James Cagney for Joan Leslie). I thought they danced well together, but the real gem of this film was Fred's "One for my Baby" number, which was just excellent. A fun film to see!
7
The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle (1939,  Unrated)
The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle
This was a more dramatic film for Fred and Ginger, and yet it was still fun to watch! The songs in this film were fun, and the dancing was thoroughly enjoyable. Most people seem to think this was one of the worse Astaire/ Rogers film; however, I personally disagree and think it is one of their better films!
8
Swing Time (1936,  Unrated)
Swing Time
One of the best of the Astaire/ Rogers musicals. The music definitely set this one apart, especially "The Way You Look Tonight." One of their better dramatic films, especially during the "Never Gonna Dance" number. Great fun to watch them dance!
9
Shall We Dance (1937,  Unrated)
Shall We Dance
An enjoyable film! The Gershwin score was fantastic, especially "They Can't Take That Away From Me"! Of course, the dancing was fun to watch (who wouldn't like to dance on roller skates like Fred and Ginger?), and a great deal of humor! A lot of fun to watch!
10
The Gay Divorcee (1934,  Unrated)
The Gay Divorcee
This film is a delight to watch! The real gem of this film is, of course, Fred and Ginger's famous "Night and Day" routine, but the rest of the dancing is enjoyable (and I can even take "The Continental", despite its length). The comedy was wonderful, and it was just a wonderful film for Fred and Astaire to begin their series with (as the lead roles in the film).
11
Roberta (1935,  Unrated)
Roberta
Fred and Ginger were quite enjoyable in this film (Sure, they should have been the lead story, but they still made this movie enjoyable). The music was great, including "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and Fred sing "I Won't Dance." When Fred and Ginger were onscreen, this movie is so enjoyable!
12
Daddy Long Legs (1955,  PG)
Daddy Long Legs
A lot of fun to watch. Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron worked well together. Some fun song and dance routines , including "Something's Gotta Give" and my personal favorite, "Sluefoot", with the song "Dream" woven throughout the film. A delight to watch, even considering the age difference between Astaire and Caron!
13
The Barkleys of Broadway (1949,  Unrated)
The Barkleys of Broadway
This may be one of Fred and Ginger's worse films, but it was still an enjoyable one nonetheless! The highlight of the film is Fred and Ginger's reprisal of "They Can't Take that Away From Me", which makes this film worth it, although some of the other song and danc routines were quite good, too. Fun to watch every now and then!
14
A Damsel in Distress (1937,  Unrated)
15
Horse Feathers (1932,  Unrated)
Horse Feathers
A very enjoyable film, with wha might be the funniest, or at least one of the funniest, football games in the movies. The music certainly was amusing, and the Marx brothers were just as zany as ever throughout the movie!
16
Duck Soup (1933,  Unrated)
Duck Soup
A very amusing film! The Marx Brothers were absolutely hilarious in this film. The mirror scene was absoluetely hilarious, and when the three main Marx Bros. were onscreen, you are guaranteed to start laughing! Too much fun for words!
17
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948,  Unrated)
18
Jonah - A VeggieTales Movie (2002,  G)

24
The Emperor Waltz (1948,  Unrated)
25
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949,  Unrated)
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
An enjoyable film. Those that expect it to be completely true to the story will be disappointed, as this film seems to have gone with a few of the main points of the story and built the rest around Bing Crosby (which in my eyes improved it). The comedy in this film is quite enjoyable, and so is the music.
26
A Night at the Opera (1935,  Unrated)
27
The Princess and the Pirate (1944,  Unrated)
The Princess and the Pirate
My favorite pirate film! Bob Hope up to his usual tricks! His jokes about Bing throughout the film were hilarious, although he got it in the end when Bing made his most memorable (I think) cameo in a Bob Hope film! And when Hope was portraying the pirate, pure enjoyment! A lot of fun to watch!
28
Second Chorus (1940,  G)

Three Little Words (1950,  Unrated)

Dancing Lady (1933,  Unrated)
31
Call Me Madam (1986,  Unrated)
32
Mexican Hayride (1948,  Unrated)
Mexican Hayride
Probably my favorite Abbott and Costello film. I get a huge kick out of watching Lou with his "samba" problem, and it seems different seeing Bud as more of a villain. I especially crack up when they are in the marketplace with their jokes, including the "silver ore", "smith", and "striking the motherload" jokes. Absolutely hilarious!

The Bells of St. Mary's (1945,  Unrated)
66
Holiday Inn (1942,  Unrated)
Holiday Inn
A great film, especially because it introduced the Irving Berlin song "White Christmas." Bing and Fred were both fun to watch together, especially because they didn't even try to hide Bing's lack of dancing ability. A very enjoyable film!
67
You Were Never Lovelier (1942,  Unrated)
You Were Never Lovelier
A very enjoyable film. The "Shorty George" and "I'm Old-fashioned" routines are some of the best parts of this film for me, and the story itself is fun. Adolphe Menjou's character could be quite funny when he started yelling at others. I personally thought that Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth worked well together, and wish they could have made more films together beyond "You'll Never Get Rich." A very enjoyable film!
68
Flying Down to Rio (1933,  Unrated)
Flying Down to Rio
An enjoyable movie with some good music. It is so sad that Fred and Ginger only had the one dance together, but then again it started their partnership, which lasted for nine more films! The Carioca was fun to watch, especially when Fred and Ginger were dancing! Always a joy to watch!
69
White Christmas (1954,  Unrated)
White Christmas
A very enjoyable film. Bing Crosby makes this an enjoyable film, especially when he sings the title song. A good collection of Irving Berlin music, with a superb cast to sing the songs. Always fn to watch at Christmas, or any other time of the year, for that matter!
70
Yolanda and the Thief (1945,  Unrated)
Yolanda and the Thief
Not exactly Frd Astaire's best film, but it still is fun to watch, and for me, the song and dance rotuine for "Coffee Time" more than makes up for the rest of the movie's flaws! An enjoyable film to watch every now and then!
71
The Cocoanuts (1929,  Unrated)
The Cocoanuts
My favorite Marx Brothers film. The laughs go a mile a minute when they are onscreen. Of course, when Groucho and Chico were going at each other made for some of the more hilarious scenes. The dance scenes did seem to be awkwardly filmed, but I enjoyed the music in this film more than I did in some of the other Marx Bros. films. A true comedy classic!
72
San Francisco (1936,  Unrated)
73
Too Many Girls (1940,  Unrated)
74
Silk Stockings (1957,  Unrated)
Silk Stockings
I personally enjoyed this film, and think it was one of Fred Astaire's better films. Either way, Is ay give him props for wanting to do the "Ritz, Roll, and Rock" due to the then recent rock n roll phenomenon, especially considering his age. The rest of the film, especially the music, worked well for me, and I enjoyed this film quite a bit!
75
The Band Wagon (1953,  Unrated)
76
Funny Face (1957,  Unrated)
Funny Face
I enjoyed this film immensely, and more so with each viewing! I enjoyed wacthing Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn dancing together, with all the wonderful George and Ira Gershwin music (and the new songs too). A very enjoyable film!
77
The Belle of New York (1952,  Unrated)
The Belle of New York
Very enjoyable film. Yes, the special effects do not seem to work but the movie made up for them. Of course, the real highlight was Fred Astaire singing and dancing to the song "I Wanna Be a Dancin' Man." And, as always after watching him, so do I.
