Advantages: Subtitles for all the songs Disadvantages: It makes you wish you were a better singer and dancer!
The Bugsy Malone Sing Along Edition is a must buy for any fan of the film!! I just bought it for my boyfriends birthday and he hasnt stopped playing the songs ever since.. The basic idea is you can watch the film as normal, or have the option to go to a screen where you can select the song you want to hear and see. The song you choose starts and subtitles come up at the bottom of the screen so you can sing along to all the words. Great fun, and helpful ...
Advantages: Kabaivanska at her (hardly recorded) best, Domingo is stunning Disadvantages: none
...said to be the greatest Tosca of her generation and this film catches her in her absolute prime. Although there are several recordings of her performing Tosca, the live performances with Carreras (1976) and Pavarotti (1990), Kabaivanska is even finer on DVD. Her interacting with Domingo is great. Plácido Domingo is magnificent; he looks and sings in such a way that he really 'becomes' Cavaradossi (This probably sounds clichéd but I do not know a ... ...voice and distinctive acting skills that made him so loved at the Met. Finally, the Orchestra with Bartoletti is very fine, especially when heard in such clear and vivid stereo sound. By a significant margin the finest dvd of Tosca and probably the finest film of an opera available. ...
Advantages: Fun storyline, catchy songs. Disadvantages: N/A
I first watched Bugsy Malone as a kid and I loved it. I suspected I remembered this film through 'rose tinted glasses' so I decided to buy it and watch it again. I'm glad that I did because it was as good as I remembered it. A parody of 'gangster' films and characters, this was a musical film originally released in 1976 which was loosely based on the events during the prohibition era in the United States. All of the characters were played by children ... ...Dandy Dan (Martin Lev) and Bugsy Malone (Scott Baio) who is enlisted to help Fat Sam and his mob overcome Dandy Dan's crew. Dandy Dan has acquired 'splurge' guns and is taking down Fat Sam's mob one by one. Considering the talent displayed by some of the cast, it is amazing that only Jodie Foster (who played Fat Sam's moll and club singer Tallulah) and Scott Baio (Bugsy Malone) went on to achieve notable worldwide success. Bonnie Langford, Dexter ...
Advantages: Amazing music - I found myself singing along. Disadvantages: None. Except maybe I now want one of those pedal cars
I first saw Bugsy Malone when I was in school... so many years ago now and recently had the pleasure of watching it again. And it hadn't lost any of its charm. If anything I enjoyed watching it even more as an adult as I had as a child. It works on so many levels and I think that having had exposure to more "adult" gangster movies like the Godfather and Goodfellas showed you just how perfectly they had caught the nuances of the organised crime culture ... ...run of the roost. And the musical numbers are vastly superior to most musicals I have seen. Great acting from everyone in this movie, as well as a young Jodie Foster, who does an amazing turn as the child equivalent of a gangster's moll. The use of custard pies instead of guns just highlights the absurdity of violence to a completely different level than I have ever seen before in a movie - or maybe I am reading into it too much and it was just a ...
Advantages: Great chemistry between main characters ,feel good film . Disadvantages: The singing throughout the film can get a bit tiresome
In my opinion you must see the film if you like musicals, otherwise you might find the singing a bit off putting .At times the siniging can seem a bit over the top but in general this is what makes the film interesting.It is worth watching just to see the on screen chemistry between Ewan Mcgregor and Nicole Kidman they are a great pairing and seem to have good on screen presence allowing you to follow the romantic tale which is played out .
