RIP the great Stanley Donen, some feat to have multiple classics in both musicals, but also comedies, thrillers, dramas. To have made On The Town, Singin’ In The Rain, 7 Brides For 7 Brothers, It’s Always Fair Weather, Funny Face, Charade, Two For the Road, Bedazzled....just wow. pic.twitter.com/MeArtLTaZE

Singin’ In the Rain
Funny Face
Charade

Stanley Donen understood when to move and when to let others do the moving.

Before Stanley Donen actors sang, actors danced. He made the camera dance and the colors sing. pic.twitter.com/fm7xbF6KeW

"What we all like in life, I think, is the challenge of making something that is not easy." #RIP Stanley Donen, a legend who created movie magic at its most joyful, skillful, and sublime. No matter the genre, his films contained everything we could ever possibly want from cinema. pic.twitter.com/H0ZxTtf3DA

Everything magical about Hollywood’s golden age is in Stanley Donen’s movies. From some of the most ecstatic musicals of the '50s to the bittersweet melodramas and Hitchcockian thrillers of the '60s, they’re models of grace and engines of pure pleasure. Farewell, dear friend. pic.twitter.com/v06EiJKK43
