- 'Top Hat' (1935) An undeniably classic musical in every sense of the term, Top Hat is likely the best place to start for anyone who hasn't seen a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movie.
- 'Swing Time' (1936) Of the 10 Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies, two are typically held up as the best; Swing Time is one. It does have one scene that has aged rather poorly, but otherwise, Swing Time delivers big time on what works about all the other movies featuring this pairing.
- 'Shall We Dance' (1937) Not to be mixed up with the underrated 1996 rom-com (which itself was remade as a 2004 American movie), 1937's Shall We Dance is perhaps the most overlooked Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movie.
- 'The Gay Divorcee' (1934) Mistaken identities cause farcical, lovable chaos in an English seaside resort in The Gay Divorcee. The film has Rogers as a disappointed and alienated wife of an uncaring husband, who travels to said resort and finds herself falling in love with a dancer, played by Astaire.
