Released in 1951‚ Singin in the Rain was one of the last films to be produced during the profitable golden age of the studio system. It evokes the typical characteristics of the popular MGM Hollywood musical by relying on superstar names and infectious dance numbers.

I would say Rain Man’s reputation lies somewhere in the middle of the spectrum when it comes to best picture winners. It’s not held in as high esteem as a Schindler’s List or Ben-Hur‚ but neither is it as reviled as a Crash or Oliver!.
