Meet Me in St. Louis: Rare instance of cultural ground shared and appriaciated by both 'traditional values' conservatives and the gay community. This piece of Americana was directed by Vincente Minnelli and stars his then future wife Judy Garland (who else), in a story about one year in the life of the Smith family of St. Louis Missouri, 1903-1904. Supporting cast includes Mary Astor, Margaret O'Brien, June Lockhart, Leon Ames, Marjorie Main (as a maid who looks and talks like 'Alice' from The Brady Bunch), and interestingly enough, a young Hugh Marlowe. Garlands rendition of 'Have Yourself a Marry Little Christmas' is heartbreaking, but perhaps even better used in the 2005 film The Family Stone.
