Catherine of Cherbourg

"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" is a great movie. It's both old-fashioned AND modern at the same time. It appeals to every age I think.

...and of course Catherine Deneuve rules the film.

Meet Me In St. Louis

My second favourite Musical movie of all time. It gives you a great smile, it never stops enjoying you. Three great young actresses are starring in this movie Judy Garland of course, the wonderful Margaret O'Brien and the forgotten Lucille Bremer. Maybe some of the songs are pretty dull. But on the other you've got "Meet Me In St. Louis", "The Trolley Song" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". Three of the best musicals song ever (even if not all of them is written for the movie).

This is an essential christmas movie I think.

Don't Cry for Me Argentina

This is the showstopper from Evita. During this song everybody just sings quiet and listen, especially with Madonna singing this song. She gives us an unforgetable screen presence in a musical we've never seen before. She BECOMES Evita the Same way Dunaway became Crawford in Mommie Dearest.

Everytime I listen to this version I get chills.

Bravo Madonna!
