24. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)
The star here is choreographer Michael Kidd, who turns the big barn-raising scene into something that's part dance sequence, part gymnastic contest, and part action spectacle: It starts out real neighborly, but degenerates into a brawl when the building teams start sabotaging each other. The rest of the movie gene-splices Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs with The Taming of the Shrew, as a frontier gal (Jane Powell) copes with making a home for her sexist-pig husband (Howard Keel) and six mangy siblings.
