A story about teenage rebellion in the late 50's and early 60's with astounding music, memorable characters and brilliant art direction? West Side Story in a nutshell. It's themes of racial bigotry and teenage delinquency were real problems back then, making it so much more important, and still a good film to watch now. The fact that the audience is led to see the film as American vs Puerto Rican as well as Jets vs Sharks, when it's all shown in the end it's all about everyone vs themselves.
