My favorite musical ever!!!!! I love the family life in this movie and the sisterly love between Esther (Garland) and Tootie (O'Brien). This movie is filled with my favorite songs. And "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" was introduced in this movie. The scene is precious.
This was also the second highest grossing picture next to going to my way.

Nominated for over 7 academy awards and winning 1.  The Belles of St. Mary's is the sequel to Going my Way.  I love this movie.  The movie follows Father O'Malley to another church and school for children.
