THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT!
“Probably the best musical entertainment that will ever be made.” -Joyce Haber, LOS ANGELES TIMES
The incomparable golden era of MGM musicals shines forever in this timeless production that wowed critics and public alike, became a surprise box-office smash and remains today the best compilation movie ever made. The studio was home to “more stars than there are in the heavens” and 125 of them in scenes from nearly 100 films enliven this joyfest. Judy, Ol’ Blue Eyes (and James Stewart!) sing. Astaire, Kelly (and Gable!) dance. From Anchors Aweigh to Ziegfeld Follies, from splashy razzmatazz to splashing in puddles, filmmaker Jack Haley, Jr.’s affectionate celebration more than lives up to its name.

THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT! II
“A glittering extravaganza of music and excitement.” -Rex Reed
Legends Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire host this all-singing, all-dancing follow-up to That’s Entertainment!, serving up more of what made the golden era of MGM moviemaking great. More–as in musical moments ranging from Jimmy Durante’s comic Inka Dinka Doo, to Judy Garland zinging the song that was her audition, to Kelly romancing the City of Light. More–as in the antics of the Marx Brothers. More–as in classic moments with Garbo, Gable or Garson. And more–as in once more for the ages: the hosts gracing the screen with song-and-dance magic that’s touching, timeless and above all, entertaining.

THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT! III
“Genuinely fascinating.” -Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
Lena Horne luxuriates in a bath during Cabin in the Sky. Cyd Charisse vamps through The Band Wagon’s Two-Faced Woman. Judy Garland leads a street-swelling “March of the Doagies” in The Harvey Girls. Unforgettable scenes, all–and all but forgotten because they were cut from their respective films. Magical moments you couldn’t see until now make up much of this starry salute to the golden era of musicals. Gene Kelly, Mickey Rooney, Esther Williams and six more luminaries host the eye-filling excerpts. Other highlights: stagehands scrambling to move sets and stay ahead of dancer Eleanor Powell’s Fascinatin’ Rhythm, the Ross Sisters contorting like soft pretzels and Garland and Rooney redefining pizzazz.
