    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.
