I adore Brigadoon.
Won't quibble about the authenticity of the story, the sets, or the choreography. However inauthentic the movie may be, it WORKS. For me, it works better than any of MGM's other classics.
The production is beautiful. The sets (however artificial) are beautiful. Kelly's choreography is beautiful. Cyd Charisse is BEAUTIFUL (honestly, my favorite woman in any musical, ever--masterful dance if I've ever seen it).
"Heather on the Hill" is a highlight of musical cinema, period. Lovely song, spectacular dancing and choreography.
The ending, however preposterous, still ranks among my favorites.
