Happy 100th, Judy Garland!

Judy Garland was a beautiful and complex woman who I borderline worshiped throughout my grade school and teenage years. I think I most identified with her sadness and how she covered it with smiles and humour. I always wished that she would have had a long, healthy, happy life, that she had been treated with kindness and respect by everyone. Although that was not to be, she leaves behind a tremendous legacy on film. These are my ten favourite:

In the Good Old Summertime
A Star is Born
The Wizard of Oz
I Could Go On Singing
A Child Is Waiting
Meet Me In St. Louis
Summer Stock
Judgment at Nuremberg
Easter Parade
Till the Clouds Roll By
