Bells are ringing

I saw this movie yesterday 'Bells are Ringing'... its an old movie (1960 according to imdb.com) starring Judy Holliday and Dean Martin.... its a nice simple movie... a musical actually... i liked watching that movie.... a thought crossed my mind while watching it... some good movies know they are good... i dont know how to put it... they kind of know they are good... so lose their simplicity..... its like when one knows one is great they are so busy being great that they are no longer humble... not really but something like that..... but this movie, bells are ringing, does not know its great.. its simple.... and i liked the simplicity... i would suggest you watch it on a day you are stressed... may be even completely stressed... and then just lose yourself in its simplicity and happiness.... its a movie that in a scene talks about saying hello to strangers on the street.... about helping people for no reason... and this is not the theme of the movie... its a good movie....
actually i made a theory (yet another one!!) if a movie as old as this one is still in 'rent a movie' store... it definitely is a good one... otherwise it would have been off the shelves in 1970 itself!!! so do watch it....
and while you are it and listening to my reccos you might as well watch 'Singing in the rain'... another nice simple movie....
