Your choices. Good start. The 40s had a fabulous feast of musical films.

Nice work. I would have included the visually gorgeous 1944 musical " Cover Girl" with great dancing by Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth and a delightful score from Jerome Kern and Johnny Mercer.

Nice upload of musicals from the 40's. The best from this lot goes to "On the town" with the delightful Vera Ellen and Gene Kelly. Vera's dancing was like a breath of fresh air, seamless. She was as light as a feather that helped her dancing a lot. Her speed was incomparable. "Easter Parade" was another top fave with Fred and Judy and the fantastic Ann - legs - Miller. Meet me in St. Louis was cute and Judy's rendition of "Have yourself a merry little Christmas' was a real standout.

My favorite is Rodgers and Hammerstein’s State Fair(1945), an underrated, beautiful treasure

The best part of these classics is the dancing which you’ve covered over with an opaque white bar at the bottom of the frame 😢

Can't argue with the top 3, but I'm not a huge fan of White Christmas with probably the most offensive blackface number (about Lincoln's birthday) in movie history or the just okay Easter Parade. Broadway Melody of 1940 with dazzling tap numbers from Astaire and Eleanor Powell or the glorious Cabin in the Sky with spectacular work by Ethel Waters, Lena Horne and John Bubbles are much, much better.

''Wait a minute you ain't seen nothing yet'' The Jolson Story and Jolson Sings Again, are the best two Forties musicals.

My personal favourite is Meet Me in St Louis, with the immortal Judy Garland. Loved the clip of James Cagney: he was a hoofer, not a dancer!

I agree but for #3! James should done more MUSICALS! I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HIM AND GIRL JUDY TOGETHER IN ONE AS WELL AS JUDY IN "LADY IN THE DARK!" SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN FABULOUS! BETTER THEN AN ANNIE! 🤔!

FIrst of all, you pick Holiday Inn and pick one of the least special songs in the film and not White Christmas? Second, Astaire and Rogers made the wonderful The Barkleys of Broadway in the 40s and it's a better film than Holiday Inn.

White Christmas was 1954, so not eligible for inclusion in 1940s musicals.
