Bugsy Malone
BUGSY MALONE

(Comedy | Crime | Family | Musical)
[1 hour 33 minutes]


A gangster movie where all the gangsters are played by children. Instead
of real bullets they use "splurge guns" that cover the victim in cream.
The story tells of the rise of "Bugsy Malone" and the battle for
power between "Fat Sam" and "Dandy Dan".

A Star is Born
A STAR IS BORN

(Drama | Music | Romance)
[2 hours 19 minutes]


Talented rock star John Norman Howard has seen his career begin to decline.
Too many years of concerts and managers and life on the road have made him
cynical and the monotony has taken its toll. Then he meets the innocent,
pure and very talented singer Esther Hoffman. As one of his songs in the
movie says "I'm gonna take you girl, I'm gonna show you how." And he does.
He shows Esther the way to stardom while forsaking his own career. As they
fall in love, her success only makes his decline even more apparent.
