Jazz Movies  (Movies about Jazz Figures or containing great background music.)

 The Newton Boys  Great background music makes this charming story really enjoyable.  "Bad Livers" does the ol' timey, and the Jim Cullum band does the Trad Jazz numbers.  IMDB says.

 The Five Pennies  Danny Kaye is convincing as Loring "Red" Nichols and Louis Armstrong is always worth watching!  IMDB says.

Singin' in the Rain  Regarded by many as "the greatest musical ever made;"  all the songs were written by Nacio Herb Brown & Arthur Freed.  Several became jazz standards.  The style of the Beautiful Girls sequence is typical of jazzy musicals of the era. IMDB says.

 High Society  Oh gee!  Bing, Frank, Louis and Celeste Holm doing Cole Porter music, with Grace Kelly as "eye candy"!!  If you haven't seen it in 20 years, you need to watch it again!!  IMDB says.  Rick says..."Have you heard? It's in the stars!  Next July we collide with Mars!"

OK.  What's your favorite?  Write me!
