Singin' in the Rain (1952)

While the movie as a whole was very good, I saw the story as being more interesting than the songs that are supposed to frame or enhance the story - in fact, I would have liked to have seen more of the films main story explored.

The songs themselves - while good as stand-alone pieces - oftentimes didn't fit entirely well (meaning transitions in to or out of) or felt as if they were slotted in in adjunct ways. This is especially notable in the film's climactic Broadway melody sequence, which dragged and had nothing to do with the film as a whole.
