I watched the movie "Cabaret" on TCM last night, and had forgotten how brilliant a movie it was. I haven't watched it in decades. The 1972 film outshined even "The Godfather" at the Academy Awards. "Cabaret" won 8 academy awards that year with "The Godfather" winning only 3. Liza Minnelli won the best actress for her role as the charming, free spirit Sally Bowles. Interesting that I never did find Liza Minnelli attractive in a physical sense, but was highly attracted to her character in the movie which made me even more attracted to her physical facial features. Does that make sense? I think I've always been that way when it comes to female characters in movies. Outwardly the attraction may not be there, but inwardly through the personality of the character there is a magnetic attraction. Have you ever been attracted to an actor or actress you normally would not be attracted to on a physical level, but find yourself loving them as their character?

Just another lesson in life....the attraction lies within. That tends to endure..as the outer shell is always changing. Reading the book Bridges of Madison Cty....made me fall in love with the souls of each character...it wouldnt have mattered who played the roles in the movie. Im kinda different that way, ones inner self exudes n enhances the shell its housed in ~
Indeed, the attraction shines from within.
Yeeeees good
Thanks!
To my shame, I've never seen the Cabaret film.
You should watch it if you can!
Great movie and Liza was phenomenal.

The TMC Channel (Turner Movie Classics) always has some great classics!

I love rewatching movies from 80s or 90s.
Those are so different from today’s. Some better some not.
Bonus points to you for loving one of my all time fave charachters/movies/musicals!
I've personally never been one for Brad Pitt as a pretty boy he was for most of his career, but I couldn't imagine anyone else in "Interview with a vampire". As a fan of the books, he brought out that pain, confusion and blurred lines all too well.
Along similiar but slightly different lines, Will Arnett is a good actor and not bad on the eyes, but nothing can ever top his performance as Bojack Horseman. The "Free Churros" episode is what I watch when sometimes I just need a good old ugly cry.
I need to rewatch that movie "Interview with a Vampire", and perhaps read the book for the first time as well! My ex was a big fan of the book.
