Guess I'll find out if Star 80 is worth my time here.

Cabaret - 7.5
All that Jazz - 10

Cabaret - 7
All That Jazz - 10
All That Jazz will be watched, and I highly anticipate it. I'd say its one of the bigger classics I have yet to see.
I'll probably also check out Lenny.

Lenny - 7
All That Jazz - 9

Rank what you have seen. Choose see others at your own will. If you miss the week, just post the rankings in the main consensus thread.

Funny, I just heard of Lenny yesterday. I was watching previews for it on YouTube.

Being a big Dustin Hoffman fan, I'd like to see it.

Well, look at you, Match Cut, coming through with the respect for All That Jazz. Even a musical hater like KF. It warms my heart.

Hmm. I generally don't really like musicals, but maybe I should see All that Jazz.

Cabaret - 6.5

[soitgoes...]

All That Jazz (1979) - 8.5

[SirNewt]

Cabaret - 9

that's it? really?

Luckily there's no match-cut user with an obsession with Fosse that parallels D's obsession with Chang Cheh.

That person would be so disappointed.

[Sven]

Yeah, there's no denying that one.

O rly?

Sweet Charity - 8
Cabaret - 7.5
Liza with a Z - 7
Lenny - 7
All that Jazz - 6

This is what you come back for? ;)

What do you mean? I have seen all of his films as has Sven. It's not like there are hundreds to choose from.

[Spinal]

This is what you come back for? ;)

Where there is building unanimous consensus about a film's value, Sven will be there.

[soitgoes...]

I think maybe that is what he means. Fosse wasn't nearly as prolific as Chang. Fall in love with Fosse the Director, and you only have a handful of films to turn to.

Star 80 is one of the most overlooked of all overlooked gems. Eric Roberts is absolutely mesmerizing.

Updated with All That Jazz which was simply wonderful.
