I’m not into musical movies that much, but you can’t go wrong with the “West Side Story”. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Love this movie too much. It’s about two New York City gangs who feud against each other, the Jets and the Sharks (led by Bernardo). Riff is the leader of the Jets, and his best friend/former Jets member, Tony, falls in love with Bernardo’s younger sister, Maria. Tony and Maria meet together secretly while the two gangs continue to feud.

The story is pretty intense, and it’s a pretty sad film, though. Most importantly, the songs in the film make the movie fun. I do have this movie on DVD, but thinking about replacing it with the BluRay sometime in the future. It is a classic and it’s an important film that everyone should have seen by now. I’m sure you may have seen it once during your school years for music class or whatever. That is how I was first introduced to the film, I think. I remember I kept borrowing the VHS from my teacher, when I was a kid, ’cause I loved it too much. STILL love the movie to this day. If you have never seen this yet, then you have no right to call yourself a lover of movies and Hollywood, I’m sorry, folks. It is also important that you should introduce this film to your kids ’cause it is part of an educational thing. They show this movie in schools for a reason.

RIP to Natalie Wood too.
