Liza Minnelli Tells AFI Her Favorite Movie

[MrGakn]

That...WHORE!

[xNatalie24x]

Liza has such a brilliant personality.

[DanielTheWalrus]

Annoying self-centred bitch.

[kgraham15]

wow, her reason for liking that movie is the reason i hate it...lol

[sleepypoodle]

Aah, bless her for her egocentricity...what a strange, one dimensional little world she inhabits.

[Hijodelaisla]

@sleepypoodle Her M.O.: "Sincerity is the most important thing in show business - if you can fake that, you've got it made."

[nofx6678]

BALLS TO YOU!

[JBades6310]

thumbs up for the freak out at 0:11. really wasn't expecting that

[corfan99]

@JBades6310 I know. She does that type of spontaneous outburst on interviews. Sometimes, if the volume is really up, it scares the cat...but I like it.

[househeadericmd]

PUKE!

[defundthewar]

For Liza's information, her father was working at MGM as far back as The Wizard of Oz, where he worked uncredited on set decoration, and you can see some of Minnelli's style in the Emerald City. It is probable he met Judy then, or during the several years in between Oz and St. Louis, if only casually.

[Superplex1001]

I've never seen this Woman before, heard of her though.

She's very strange.

[iwbtssothy]

I thought she was about to say: Cabaret lol

[levanyzzuf]

Awesome pic, I never tire of that one.

[ANorthernSong]

"Meet Me in St. Louis" is one of my faves as well. ^w^

Liza is so awesome <3 Think I'm gonna go watch "Cabaret" now...

[RingoWinfrey]

Lucille 2

[brokenarmor]

oh god who called it! i thought she'd say that movie.

[JanWest24]

She used to look like Anne Hathaway.

Great Actress!!

[ivetenum1fan]

How old was Liza when she made the movie ''Cabaret''?

[KoalaTreeHugger]

she was about 30 or 31.

[musicaltheatergeek79]

@KoalaTreeHugger Liza was 25 when she filmed CABARET.

[sunxxl01]

she was in her mid 20s

[musicaltheatergeek79]

@ivetenum1fan Liza was born March 12, 1946 and CABARET was released on February 13, 1972 so she was one month shy of her 26th birthday, which puts her at 25 years old when she made the movie.

[rtms1988]

Yeah, it's cute. I love it.

[HustlerPumpkin]

She's cute ^^

I loved her in Cabaret!

[ktmeinyc]

she is the best at the palace she was mind blowing!!!!! not bad for two new hips and a knee brain encephalitis throat problems addiction she inherited anybody can stand up to this i don't think so i wonder what we will do someday when she is gone she is the last of the best

[actressindemaking]

shes simply too wonderful for words...i almost want her to adopt me just so id get to spend time with her...id give anything to talk to her.

[jimmers205]

LIZA IS LOVE

bitch is amazing.

[delicateblu]

Meet me in St. Louis is a lovely musical. If you haven't seen it yet, by all means go out and rent a copy!

I loved the movie "The Sterile Cuckoo" which features a young and talented Liza M. Great cast and lovely theme song "Come Saturday Morning."

[theOlLineRebel]

Just tell people that aren't used to musicals in particular that MMISL is "about nothing" - that is, nothing more than snippets of daily life. Then they won't expect a real plot, or anything. My husband really enjoyed it (laughed, too), but I think if I hadn't said this he might not have put himself in the right mind to enjoy!

[delicateblu]

theOILineRebel,

Yes, you are so right! It is about daily life, but Judy Garland is utterly charming in this one! Another favorite movie about "nothing at all" is called "Life with Father"---a charming, charming movie!

[JackSmith07]

she looks good. top notch surgeon.

[JohnDiverMorgan]

This is a fairly old clip, saw Liza Live at Nottingham Royal Centre in May 2008, she has lost a lot of weight, she is now thinner than when she did Cabaret in 1972, she looks stunning and sexier than ever and for a 62 year old, man she is fantastic, the best set of legs I have ever seen. As for the show it was the best I have seen Liza for years. She really was on top form. She is the come back queen. Devine. X

[MyPinkRainbow]

gosh she gained alot of wieght

[xummij]

She's lost it since then. You should have seen her at the Armadillo earlier this year - she was amazing!

[SS421982]

She's so crazy...in a good way.

[bottles1998]

HATE msuicals.ive tried watching them but i cant.just not going to ever happen.

[boyScotland]

OMG, just found out that Judy Garland is Liza Minnelli's mum!?!

[joestyle123]

omg r u serious! well you'll probably enjoy watching her more now that you know she comes from a hugely talented family

[boyScotland]

if only she called herself Liza Garland-Minnelli... or maybe Judy Garland Jr!

I would have known earlier :)

[theOlLineRebel]

Poor kid mostly got her dad's "looks".

[delicateblu]

Actually, Liza is incredibly interesting looking as well as hip, sweet, and original! Being Irish/French, I have always envied the dark, Italian look of southern Italians! For the record, Liza is oozing beauty--inside AND out! JM

[Carpenterfan2]

Meet Me In St. Louis another one of my all time favorites. A sweet story about the day to day life of a family living in St. Louis during the time the World's Fair was scheduled to be hosted there. In my opinion one of the most underrated musical ever. I absolutely adore the movie.

[LaurierReglisse]

Liza,

You are an original. You may have come from talented, famous parents, but YOU are an original! Please keep on entertaining us, will you?

Jeannemarie

[ayush7777]

could someone tell me what classic movie i should watch if i loved a clockwork orange

[smithhedgehog]

everything :-)... there IS nothing like C.O.

[stevedrums]

Holy crap. Imagining spending the day with that? I can totally see her beating the shit out of that ex-husband of hers. WOW!!! What a head case!!

[kylekubrick]

Her father, Vincent Minnelli, a major director of his era, directed her mother, Judy Garland in Meet Me In St. Louis...that's for anyone who didn't "get it", though I'm sure most of you did. :)

[mithol]

Fo' sho' :D

Well...I did. :)

[mithol]

Liza Minelli is one of the prettiest ladies ever. You look like a few idiotic words on a screen, so don't get too cocky.

[sw1w]

Dear donte...

someone marked your message was spam, so as to remove it; it is too bad that folk don't much like differing opinions -isn't it.

cheers.

from,

del-boy.

[CrissCross779]

"Meet me in St. Louis" is one of my favorite films too. Besides, Judy never look so beautiful!

[cactusbound]

Even though Judy never wanted to do this part, it's one of my favs too. So happy someone talked her into doing it.

BTW ... Vincent Minnelli is my cousin. His mother was my grandfather's 1st cousin.

[msymsed]

I believe that makes you his second cousin once removed and you are Liza's third cousin.

[bearotica]

liza I love you... please ignore the nob heads... You are great and I want to know what you say.... People today dont appreciate a TRUE DIVA. N Nob heads, dont you ever call Liza or be bad to her......

[kutuluu]

Meat you in St. Louis? HELL NO!!!

[lestatspawnofmagnus]

WTF BE NICE SHITHEAD!

[cda345]

Boy you are a real dick aren't you micro

[mithol]

Well, you must be a different Liza Minelli to the one on the screen, dickhead.

[HurtingYourFeelings]

what was her fave movie i can barely her what she said

[copyright1982]

She says, "Meet Me in St. Louis"

[freefromfolsom]

i love liza

[pianosinger745]

DIE

[Jgfanwow]

Eh, Meet Me In St. Louis was one of Judy's favorite films, that and The Clock. They're obviously asking Liza which is her favorite movie her mother was in. I mean, her mother is a super-star. Besides, Meet Me In St.Louis is awesome, boring plot was transformed by Minelli into one of Garland's greatest films, and made almost as much money as Wizard of Oz, at least in that time period. So yeah, that's her favorite movie because she loves her parents... wow, so horrible to love your parents.

[Italiabeefy]

Liza is Awesome!

[NoDirectionHome19]

"for the majority of us, it is all about ourselves and our loved ones." - And that is what is wrong with the society we live in today. We are systemically conditioned to separate ourselves from eachother, and that creates intneral conflict and does not allow room for change. Once we realize the interconnectedness of it all, with eachother, then we can make social change and live in a more socialistic, utopian type world.

[innersmiff]

Dear NoDirectionHome19,

WTF

regards,

innersmiff

[NoDirectionHome19]

You do not think the comment "it is all about ourselves" is not extremely narrow minded and creates animosity amongst people as all it does is cause a disconnect amongst individuals in society.

[innersmiff]

No sorry

[NoDirectionHome19]

And that is the wonderful kind of mindset that allows ignorance to dictate how people treat eachother in society. It's why somebody dies in the middle of a busy street and for days nobody notices.

[innersmiff]

Yeah because people are busy you know. Unless they were having a violent fit and screaming I would not notice.

[NoDirectionHome19]

Because people are busy you know? Are you fucking kidding me?

[innersmiff]

Yes how did you know? Were having an arguement I can't understand over a Liza Minelli video.I can't help but be sardonic.

[NoDirectionHome19]

"Cynicism is the refuge of douchebags." - Old Klingon Proverb

[karlakor]

If you can't express yourself in a public forum without using coarse language, then I would appreciate it if you wouldn't take part. You should be ashamed, NoDirectionHome19.

[NoDirectionHome19]

If you can't accept the idea of people expressing themselves using coarse language, you should be ashamed of your limiting, conformist mentality. I know the word "douchebag" is scary for some people, but I think you'll be alright. It's easy for you to exist when the people you inhabit this world with express themselves in a simplistic format that you can relate to, but I know I don't want to live like that, so maybe don't be a bitch, because freedom ain't free.

[amorsecreto1000]

mccazbah doesn't get it. liza never pretended to kid anyone, she is being honest. for the majority of us, it is all about ourselves and our loved ones.

Liza is a national treasure.

[hollywearsprada]

i adore Liza.

[jimmers205]

Aahah I loved the reason behind her answer.

[blondeonblonde1966]

lol she's funny

[mccazbah]

Come On!! I love Liza, but how vain can she be? She likes the movie because SHE'S IN IT!! The last shot is of her as the "love child" of her mother and Van Johnson's characters. Great Vincente fil? Yes. Awesome performance by Judy? One of the best. Set Up for the movie "You've Got Mail"? (another great flick) You betcha. But Liza ain't kidding anyone - it's ALWAYS been about her.

[robjwtrs1970]

Your comments are not only rude and uncalled for but they are also very incorrect. "Meet Me In St Louis" was directed in 1944. Two years before the birth of Liza. The movie you're referring to is "In The Good Old Summertime" which has the Liza cameo at the end. Released in 1949 and directed by Robert Z. Leonard NOT Minnelli. It was remade into "You've Got Mail". The story was first filmed in 1940 as "The Shop Around The Corner" with James Stewart. A film historian you aren't.

[billabong1299]

ur a dumbass

[thenextlevel123]

LOL SO I

[DarkestPanik]

God I Love Liza

[Karpathian001]

SO I GUESS THAT'S MY FAVOURITE!

[TheFourthLorelai]

[Picklepuss]

Liza is my favorite movie.
