2	On the Beach (1959) more movies like this directed by Stanley Kramer featuring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, Anthony Perkins, Donna Anderson Although there'd been "doomsday dramas" before it, Stanley Kramer's On the Beach was considered the first "important" entry in this genre when originally released in 1959. Based on the novel by Nevil Shute, the film is set in the future (1964) when virtually all life on earth has been exterminated by the radioactive residue of a nuclear holocaust. ... see all copies from $2.82! new only from $11.05!
3	Roberta (1935) more movies like this directed by William Seiter featuring Irene Dunne, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Randolph Scott, Helen Westley Alice Duer Miller's novel Gowns by Roberta was adapted into the 1933 Broadway musical Roberta, with music by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach. The 1935 filmization of Roberta was slightly adapted to accommodate the dancing talents of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, though their roles are secondary to the characters portrayed by Irene Dunne and ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $7.33!
4	The Easter Bunny Is Coming to Town (1977) more movies like this directed by Arthur Rankin, Jr., Jules Bass featuring Fred Astaire An animated Fred Astaire stars in this animated holiday story, which offers a fanciful story of how the Easter Bunny came to be. Sunny (voice of Skip Hinnat) is an orphaned bunny rabbit who finds a home in Kidsville, a town populated entirely by children. Sunny makes himself useful in Kidsville by delivering eggs, which he colors to disguise them ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.74!
5	Funny Face (1957) more movies like this directed by Stanley Donen featuring Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire, Kay Thompson, Michel Auclair, Robert Flemyng This filmed version of the 1927 George Gershwin Broadway musical Funny Face utilizes the play's original star, Fred Astaire, and several of the original tunes, then goes merrily off on its own. Astaire is cast as as fashion photographer Dick Avery (a character based on Richard Avedon, the film's "visual consultant"), who is sent out by his female ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.32!
6	Royal Wedding (1951) more movies like this directed by Stanley Donen featuring Fred Astaire, Jane Powell, Peter Lawford, Sarah Churchill, Keenan Wynn Two real-life events were incorporated into the plot of the 1951 MGM musical Royal Wedding. One, the marriage of Fred Astaire's sister Adele to a British nobleman had occurred years earlier; the other, the wedding of England's Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip was only four years in the past. MGM would probably have gotten Royal Wedding out ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
7	That's Entertainment! (1974) more movies like this directed by Jack Haley, Jr. featuring Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Donald O'Connor, Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli, James Stewart, Mickey Rooney, Debbie Reynolds, Peter Lawford It's ironic that MGM, in such dire financial straits in 1974 that it was selling its fabled back lot and auctioning off artifacts from past movie triumphs, enjoyed one of its biggest box-office hits with That's Entertainment, a compilation of musical highlights from the studio's golden days. Onscreen hosts Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.16!
8	Swing Time (1936) more movies like this directed by George Stevens featuring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Victor Moore, Helen Broderick, Eric Blore The sixth of RKO's Fred Astaire -Ginger Rogers pairings of the 1930s, Swing Time starts off with bandleader Astaire getting cold feet on his wedding day. Astaire's bride-to-be Betty Furness will give him a second chance, providing he proves himself responsible enough to earn $25,000. Astaire naturally tries to avoid earning that amount once he ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $15.48!
9	Easter Parade (1948) more movies like this directed by Charles Walters featuring Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Peter Lawford, Ann Miller, Jules Munshin Fred Astaire had announced his retirement before the cameras began to roll on Easter Parade, but he decided to accept the film's leading role when its original star Gene Kelly became incapacitated. The thinnish plot, which finds Astaire trying to turn chorus girl Judy Garland into a star in order to show up his former partner Ann Miller, is hardly ... see all copies from $3.74! new only from $7.50!
10	A Damsel in Distress (1937) more movies like this directed by George Stevens featuring Fred Astaire, George Burns, Gracie Allen, Joan Fontaine, Reginald Gardiner Fred Astaire's first RKO musical without his longtime partner Ginger Rogers is one of his best from any period -- even though it's obvious that leading lady Joan Fontaine can't dance a step.

12 view cover	Santa Claus is Coming to Town (1970) more movies like this directed by Arthur Rankin, Jr., Jules Bass featuring Fred Astaire, Keenan Wynn, Mickey Rooney The story of how Santa Claus came to be is brought to life through the magic of stop-motion animation in this Christmas-themed production for the family. A friendly postman (voiced by Fred Astaire) explains how friendly Kris Kringle (voice of Mickey Rooney), a foundling taken in by a family of toymakers, took it upon himself to bring some ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
13 view cover	Finian's Rainbow (1968) more movies like this directed by Francis Ford Coppola featuring Fred Astaire, Petula Clark, Tommy Steele, Don Francks, Keenan Wynn Nearly 20 years after it opened on Broadway, the E.Y.

15 view cover	Broadway Melody of 1940 (1940) more movies like this directed by Norman Taurog featuring Fred Astaire, Eleanor Powell, George Murphy, Frank Morgan, Ian Hunter MGM's third follow-up to its landmark Broadway Melody is short on story, but that's okay, since the plot is merely a clothesline upon which to hang sleek and opulent musical production numbers by Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell -- particularly a breathless and eye-popping gloriously black-and-white six-minute tap dance finale between Astaire and ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $16.78!
16 view cover	The Barkleys of Broadway (1949) more movies like this directed by Charles Walters featuring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Oscar Levant, Billie Burke, Gale Robbins The Barkleys of Broadway became Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers' "reunion" picture purely by accident. Originally conceived as a follow-up to the successful Astaire-Judy Garland vehicle Easter Parade, Barkleys was to have starred Fred and Judy as a successful musical comedy team that breaks up when the female half decides to become a "serious" ... see all copies from $2.34! new only from $15.48!
17 view cover	Ghost Story (1981) more movies like this directed by John Irvin featuring Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., John Houseman, Craig Wasson This 1981 John Irvin picture constitutes an adaptation of Peter Straub's colossal, bestselling novel.

Not so: this is more in the line of an all-star revue, much like such early talkies as Hollywood Revue of ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $4.47!
20 view cover	Shall We Dance? (1937) more movies like this directed by Mark Sandrich featuring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Edward Everett Horton, Eric Blore, Jerome Cowan The seventh of RKO's Fred Astaire--Ginger Rogers musicals, Shall We Dance casts Astaire as a world-renowned ballet dancer and Rogers as a musical comedy headliner.

22 view cover	The Band Wagon (1953) more movies like this directed by Vincente Minnelli featuring Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Oscar Levant, Nanette Fabray, Jack Buchanan One of the most subtle and sophisticated of the musical comedies that came out of MGM's Arthur Freed Unit in the '40s and '50s, The Band Wagon stars Fred Astaire as Tony Hunter, a movie star whose career is in a downturn.

24 view cover	Second Chorus (1940) more movies like this directed by Frank Cavett, H.C. Potter featuring Fred Astaire, Paulette Goddard, Charles Butterworth, Burgess Meredith Though not the best of the Fred Astaire musicals, Second Chorus is the most easily accessible thanks to its current public-domain status.
