Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers are my favourite on-screen couple, bar none. They had such a-MA-zing chemistry in their movies, and the dancing is absolutely the best you'll ever see.
My beau has been playing the song 'Love You Madly' by Cake a lot at home recently (yes, he sings along to me, and yes, he's awesome) and he just sent me a link to this tribute montage of Fred & Ginger moments from all 10 of their movies set to that very song.
I love the old-school clips playing against this song and how it really 'works' - it shows how Fred & Ginger still have it, 70-odd years after the fact.
Enjoy!

Lovely...F and G film is your favorite? I'm a fan of Shall we Dance and the Berkleys of Broadway, the latter mainly because it was the brilliant colorful result of their FINALLY filming a musical for MGM. :)

Hi all, thanks for commenting. I find Fred and Ginger so inspiring that I hope they find new fans via Diamond Dame!
Trinity Lea - you should check out the box set of all 10 Fred and Ginger movies available from Amazon - I have it and it's wonderful.
As far as my favourite F&G film, gosh it's so hard to say - I really feel like I need to watch them all again to make sure. But, Swing Time is definitely one of the top films for me - I liked it better than Top Hat, which is widely regarded as their 'best'. I'm also a big fan of Follow the Fleet even though the plot isn't as good and Harriet Hilliard bores me to tears, just because it's got some of my favourite song and dance numbers (such as Let Yourself Go), and of course I'm a totally sucker for sailor-themed movies. -
