Cabaret (1972) - Bob Fosse 

Let me begin this by saying that this is not the first time I saw this film. However on a second viewing I found the music to be far less excrutiating. There was some attempt I believe to be "shocking" that makes the film more relevant than bold today, and Liza Minnelli's performance still holds up remarkably. At first her role is far to flighty and has that eccentric Oscar favorite type, but she really comes into it. I was also much more impressed this time by Michael York's contribution. A lot going on, and Fosse is a god. I'll try and get some more down about this but alas I have to go let people in a bar so they can get drunk for Valentine's Day.
