West Side Story
WEST SIDE STORY

(Crime | Drama | Musical | Romance)
[2 hours 33 minutes]


West Side Story is the award-winning adaptation of the
classic romantic tragedy "Romeo and Juliet". The feuding
families become two warring New York City gangs--the white
Jets led by Riff and the Latino Sharks, led by Bernardo.
Their hatred escalates to a point where neither can coexist
with any form of understanding. But when Riff's best friend
(and former Jet) Tony and Bernardo's younger sister Maria
meet at a dance, no one can do anything to stop their love.
Maria and Tony begin meeting in secret, planning to run away.
Then the Sharks and Jets plan a rumble under the
highway--whoever wins gains control of the streets. Maria
sends Tony to stop it, hoping it can end the violence.
It goes terribly wrong, and before the lovers know what's
happened, tragedy strikes and doesn't stop until
the climactic and heartbreaking ending.

The Young Ones
THE YOUNG ONES

(Comedy | Musical)
[1 hour 32 minutes]


Nicky and his friends find that their youth club is
in danger of being flattened to make way for a new
office block unless they can come up with £1500 to
pay the new owner, the ruthless property tycoon
Hamilton Black. To help raise the cash, Nicky records
a song and his friends broadcast it via a pirate radio
station, touting him as "The Mystery Singer" - the plan
works and interest in their up and coming show is
heightened by this new but unknown heart-throb.
But Nicky has an even bigger secret and one that he
cannot share, even with his girlfriend Toni.

(Comedy | Family | Fantasy | Musical | Romance)
[1 hour 46 minutes]


Tom the Piper's Son is about to marry Mary Quite Contrary.
On the eve of their wedding, evil miser Barnaby hires two
henchmen to drown Tom and steal Mary's sheep, cared for
by Little Bo Peep, thus depriving Mary and the children
she lives with of their livelihood, forcing her to marry
Barnaby. The sheep are stolen, but Gonzorgo and Roderigo,
Barnaby's henchmen, double-cross him by selling Tom to a
band of gypsies instead, leaving Tom with the opportunity
to escape and make his way with Mary, Bo-Peep, and other
Mother Goose characters to Toyland.
