*I tried to select the films that come up the most and the highest on lists of the best films ever, both those by critics and those based on audience votes. I understand there are several others that you see a lot as well, but there are only limited options and I think I managed to select the ones you see the very most.

“There’s so many great things in Singin’ in the Rain, but there’s the dream ballet inside of the dream ballet [which is] one of the most incredible, beautiful, completely unhinged things,” Gerwig joked. “There’s a space when he’s dancing with Cyd Charisse in this space with the stairs, and she’s got that long white scarf that floats up. That was sort of how we wanted to model a certain Ken ballet.”

13k, complete. cosmo/don/kathy

summary:

Don and Kathy would move in together. They would have a dog or two and then inevitably, a small parade of adorable little brats who would call him Uncle Cosmo, and they would spend less and less time with him, not on purpose but busy with the rest of their lives, and ultimately Cosmo would learn to make his peace with it because he’d have no other choice and he would have to try to move on and not live too much in his memories. He could picture it so clearly, he figured if the songwriting gig with Monumental didn’t pan out, he could always return to the backwater circuit with a new act: The Amazing Cosmo of the Cosmos—ladies and gentlemen, he sees the future, he reads the stars, he silently pines for his best married pal and all the while tap dancing! Don and Kathy inviting him along on their honeymoon, though—that part was a surprise.

featuring multiple original showtunes, polyamorous shenanigans on a boat, feelings, romance, the worst knock-knock joke you've ever read, confessions, and some dawning realizations.
