It's Always Fair Weather (1955)
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)

Stanley Donen directed my no.1 favorite musical, as well as 3 other favorites. I'd love to see It's Always Fair Weather get a special dvd release one day, fantastic musical. Saturn 3 is a guilty fave.

Rankings

1)Singin' in the Rain (greatest musical of them all)
2)On the Town
3)It's Always Fair Weather
4)Seven Brides For Seven Brothers
5)Charade
6)Saturn 3
7)Arabesque
8)Royal Wedding
9)Funny Face
