cabaret be an exceptionally well make film the music and choreography and acting and screenplay and direction be all of very high caliber . even after 36 year and it hasn not age and and be a shock and entertain a ever . it deservedly win 8 oscar in spite of competition from one of the most beloved movie of all time the godfather . although the academy be notorious for decision base on emotion rather than merit and in this instance and i consider the splitting of best direction and best picture oscars between the 2 film a a just outcome . it therefore very surprising and it not on any of the all time great list a great injustice and or could it be a conspiracy . it will certainly be on my list of 100 all time great movie .
