5. West Side Story (1961)
At number five, is West Side Story, one of the greatest love stories of all time re-created on the mean streets of New York City. Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet to speak to us all and West Side Story does just that.Though the names are different, the tale is the same, but set to one of the best scores ever.
On the gang ridden streets of New York, the Sharks and Jets are at war, not over money, or power, not even over territory. The gangs are at war for pride. Just like the original play where the feud is over pride, pride over the names Capulet and Montague.
In both the phenomenal play and incredible film it’s impossible not to sympathize with both sides. It’s the magic of the Broadway musical and Hollywood film (and Shakespeare) the audience wants the impossible to be possible: everyone to live and be happy. It doesn’t always work out that way.
