Meet Me in St. Louis (1945)

Directed by Vincente Minelli

In this delightful, musical slice of Americana circa 1903, Margaret O’Brien steals the show as Tootie, a pint-sized town booster who dreams about St Louis’ coming World’s Fair. But Tootie’s charmed life is threatened when Dad declares that he’s moving the family to New York. The always-enchanting Judy Garland performs memorable renditions of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “The Trolley Song.”

Recommended for ages 6+
