"Top Hat" movie poster. A top hat in upper left corner, with a man and a woman in elegant clothing ballroom dancing in the foreground.

Top Hat

Recommended by: Jen Howell

Release Year: 1935

Runtime: 101 min

Genres: Comedy, Music, Romance

The Pitch: Don't say you understand American musicals until you've seen this all-time classic of the genre, featuring the timeless duo of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers! In addition to iconic dance numbers like "Cheek to Cheek", there's also sly humor from a hilarious supporting cast which skirts the edges of the newly created Hays Code.

Ratings

Funny: Pretty Funny

Scary: Not Scary
