Summary
  • The greatest showman: "Inspired by the story of P.T. Barnum and celebrating the birth of show business, the film follows the visionary who rose from nothing to create a mesmerizing spectacle"--Container
  • The sound of music: A lonely nun teaches music to children, and finds love in the process
  • West side story: "Sets the ageless tragedy of Romeo and Juliet against a backdrop of gang warfare in 1950s New York"--Container
  • Moulin Rouge: Christian is an idealistic and impoverished young writer who, newly arrived in Montmartre, is haphazardly inducted into a circle of young bohemians led by Toulouse-Lautrec. A comedy of mistaken identities ensues, quickly enmeshing the young poet in a love triangle involving the unobtainable and consumptive Satine, queen courtesan of the Moulin Rouge, and the foppish Duke of Roxbury, his villainous rival for her affections
  • Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: Crackpot inventor Caractacus Potts lives in the English countryside with his two children and their dotty grandfather. Potts's various inventions, including Toot Sweets, a candy/whistle, backfires. But then Potts restores a junked race car, affectionately named "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang." Chitty flies, floats, and generally thwarts efforts by Baron Bomburst to capture her
