West Side Story (1961)

So Natalie Wood doesn't sing, so what. Unlike Audrey Hepburn in a certain 'loverly' movie, Wood sells us on Maria so well that we believe it is her voice and that is the ultimate accomplishement for a dubbed role.
This story follows gangs in a Romeo and Juliet setting where Maria and Tony are being kept from loving one another.
Some of the best modern musical songs are found here. From 'Somewhere' to 'America', you will memorize the tunes as you go through and realize the difference between a badly written musical and one with heft and purpose.
If the ending of this groundbreaking minority-based flick doesn't break your heart, you just might be a robot.
