May 25th is National Tap Dance Day, which is celebrated in the United States to acknowledge tap dancing as an American art-form. With National Tap Dance Day in mind, the theme for today will be films with tap dancing... enjoy!
1 Singin' in the Rain(1952) Director: Stanley Donen/Gene Kelly
Charming musical about a silent movie star (Gene Kelly) who must make the transition to talkies, and falls in love-Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor are fabulous in their dance scenes, and Jean Hagen steals the show as spoiled leading lady, which she garnered an Academy Award nomination for her performance...
2 Swing Time (1936) Director: George Stevens
Stars Fred Astaire as a gambler who falls for a dancer (Ginger Rogers)-won Oscar for Best Music...
3 Tap (1989) Director: Nick Castle
Tells the story of a man (Gregory Hines) who tries to make tap dancing his living...
As I have seen only one film from the above list of picks (Singin' in the Rain) I look forward to your feedback-enjoy!
