Bugsy Malone1976
Every year brings a great movie. Every decade a great movie musical!
New York, 1929, a war rages between two rival gangsters, Fat Sam and Dandy Dan. Dan is in possession of a new and deadly weapon, the dreaded "splurge gun". As the custard pies fly, Bugsy Malone, an all-round nice guy, falls for Blousey Brown, a singer at Fat Sam's speakeasy. His designs on her are disrupted by the seductive songstress Tallulah who wants Bugsy for herself.

It’s a brave, funny and winning pic which is nearly – but regrettably not quite – a triumph.
It is an entertaining yet silly kids' gangster movie. Even if some of the performance is a little off-key, the youngsters' sincere smiles when they fumble their lines are endearing. The mild violence was an excellent technique to suggest violence without actually exposing children to too much of it. Despite some criticism, the acting is significantly superior to that of Vin Deasle, Ben Affleck, and Ice T. It is unfortunate that it is not transmitted at all, or even more frequently.
The songs and set pieces are still fresh and infectious and most of the child cast are mesmerisingly good. I defy anyone not to be caught up in the charm and nostalgia.
