Plot Outline: Musical about two youngsters from rival NYC gangs who fall in love.
Plot: Westside story is the award winning adaptation of the classic romantic tragedy, Romeo and Juliette. The feuding families become two warring New York City gangs- the white Jets led by Riff and the Puerto Rican Sharks, led by Bernardo. Their hatred escalates to a point where neither can coexist with any form of understanding. But when Riffs best friend (and former Jet) Tony and Bernardos younger sister Maria meet at a dance, no one can do anything to stop their love. Maria and Tony begin meeting in secret, planning to run away. Then the Skarks and Jets plan a rumble under the highway – whoever wins gains control of the streets. Maria sends Tony to stop it, hoping it can end the violence. It goes terribly wrong, and before the lovers know whats happened, tragedy strikes and doesnt stop until the climatic and heartbreaking ending.

Trivia: There are 62 entries in the trivia list – like these:

• The original stage version of Marias song “I Feel Pretty” included the lyrics “I feel pretty and witty and bright / And I pity / Any girl who isnt me tonight.” In the film this night scene was changed to the daytime, and presumably for this reason, the rhyming words “bright” and “tonight” were changed to “gay” and “today.”
• Borrowed its plot from William Shakespeares “Romeo and Juliet”.
• Natalie Woods singing was dubbed by Marni Nixon.

When Harold meets the anarchist seventy nine year-old Maude at a funeral, they become friends and the old lady discloses others perspectives of the cycle of life for him.

Trivia: There are 20 entries in the trivia list – like these:

• Henry Dieckoff, who appeared as Mrs. Chasens butler, was the actual butler of Rose Court Mansion in Hillsborough, California, south of San Francisco, which served as the setting for the Chasen mansion.
• Fearing that he would be typecast as crazy (as Robert Altman had warned), Bud Cort, who was offered the part of Billy Bibbit, turned down that role in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest (1975). He wanted the role of McMurphy, which belonged to Jack Nicholson but was denied it by director Milos Forman. His next film wasnt until 1977.

Plot Outline: Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice gets a Bollywood treatment.
Plot: Lalita Bakshi is a daughter of a farmer. Lalita is introduced to Mr. William Darcy, an American businessman. Lalita tries to juggle William out of her life, while he tries to be in hers. Lalita falls in love with Johnny Wickham, a London tourist. Darcy tries to warn Lalita about Johnny. A secret from the past threatens to repeat itself and Darcy will do anything to prevent this. And indeed he does. During this part in the movie Lalita falls in love with Darcy. They get married and live happily ever after.

Continuity: During the confrontation between Lalita and Darcy after the L.A. wedding, Lalitas earrings change. First they match, then one is longer than the other and a slightly different style.

Trivia: There are 15 entries in the trivia list – like these:

• Bollywood version of Jane Austens “Pride and Prejudice”.
• Before filming had started, Aishwarya Rai didnt want to read the novel “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen because she didnt want the character of Elizabeth to influence her.
• In Bollywood cinema, it is taboo to show any sort of sexual contact, even kissing. Instead they usually show some abstract representation of sexual contact, (birds chirping, waves crashing, etc.) or nothing at all. This is why in Lalithas wedding fantasy, even though she and Darcy lean in to kiss, she leans back before their lips even touch.

Plot Outline: In the year before the 1904 St Louis Worlds Fair, the four Smith daughters learn lessons of life and love, even as they prepare for a reluctant move to New York.
Plot: St. Louis 1903. The well-off Smith family has four beautiful daughters, including Esther and little Tootie. 17-year old Esther has fallen in love with the boy next door who has just moved in, John. He however, barely notices her at first. The family is shocked when Mr. Smith reveals that he has been transfered to a nice position in New York, which means that the family has to leave St. Louis and the St. Louis Fair.

Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
In the opening credits, many of the credits are each preceded by a jumble of letters flickering on the screen. This may be a reference to the opening credit sequence of one of Robert Redfords earlier spy movies, Sneakers (1992).

Trivia: There are 21 entries in the trivia list – like these:

• Producer-lyricist Arthur Freed dubbed the singing for Leon Ames.
• Van Johnson was supposed to play John Truett, but Tom Drake took over.
• First intended as a duet for Alfred Drake and Joan Roberts, the Rodgers and Hammerstein song, “Boys and Girls Like You and Me” had been discarded from their 1943 Broadway triumph, “Oklahoma!” MGM producer Arthur Freed then purchased screen rights to the song, planning to interpolate it into the film score as a Judy Garland (I) solo, but her rendition was cut from the picture. Miss Garlands Decca album of songs from the film included “Boys and Girls Like You and Me” in an arrangement similar to her MGM prerecording. Later, the ballad was chosen to be crooned by Frank Sinatra to Betty Garrett in another Arthur Freed production, Take Me Out to the Ball Game (1949), but again the tune was deleted. The footage of Judy singing the song to Tom Drake no longer exists, but on the Warner Home Video special-edition DVD, the original audio recording is played over Garland-Drake production stills. Only about two or three seconds of footage from this sequence may be seen on the trailer in which Tom Drakes name is screened. It shows a medium shot of Tom Drake, and in the background, you can see some buildings supposedly under construction as they would appear in the blue hour before nightfall. Actually, it was just a backdrop for the scene that was filmed on a sound stage.

Plot Outline: An east European girl goes to America with her young son, expecting it to be like a Hollywood film.
Plot: Selma has emigrated with her son from Central Europe to America. The year is 1964. Selma works day and night to save her son from the same disease she suffers from, a disease that inevitably will make her blind. But Selma has the energy to live because of her secret! She loves musicals. When life feels tough she can pretend that she is in the wonderful world of musicals…just for a short moment. All happiness life is not able to give her she finds there…

Trivia: There are 17 entries in the trivia list – like these:

• Writer-director Lars von Triers first draft screenplay was called “Taps” and featured tap dancing in every scene. Choreographer Vincent Paterson convinced von Trier that it would be far too difficult, if not impossible, to teach something as “technical” as tap dancing to Björk and the other cast members within a reasonable period of time. Von Trier rewrote the screenplay so that the songs would be more in the style of “traditional” Hollywood musicals, but retained some of the tap-dancing motif with the character of Oldrich Novy.
• Stellan Skarsgård was originally cast in the role of Jeff, Selmas would-be boyfriend, but was unable to play a part as large as that due to a scheduling conflict (with Aberdeen (2000)). The part of Jeff went instead to Peter Stormare, and Skarsgеrd ended up playing the substantially smaller (only two scenes) role of Selmas eye doctor.
• The role of Cathy, Selmas best friend, was originally written for an African-American woman. However, Catherine Deneuve, who had written to Lars von Trier several years earlier about the possibility of doing a film together, expressed interest in the part. Von Trier cast her and slightly rewrote the part as a French immigrant woman to accommodate Deneuve.

Plot Outline: A Seattle-set rock & roll drama about a musician whose life and career is reminiscent of Kurt Cobains.
Plot: Introspective artist Blake is buckling under the weight of fame, professional obligations and a mounting feeling of isolation. Dwarfed by towering trees, Blake slowly makes his way through dense woods. He scrambles down an embankment to a fresh spring and undresses for a short swim. The next morning he returns to his house, an elegant, if neglected, stone mansion. Many people are looking for Blake–his friends, his managers and record label, even a private detective–but he does not want to be found. In the haze of his final hours, Blake will spend most his time by himself. He avoids the people who are living in his house, who approach him only when they want something, be it money or help with a song. He hides from one concerned friend and turns away another. He visits politely with a stranger from the Yellow Pages sales department, and he ducks into an underground rock club. He wanders through the woods and he plays a new song, one last rock and roll blowout. Finally, alone in the greenhouse, Blake will look and listen–and seek release.

Crazy Credits: We know about 4 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
 PEYTON REED reads KNOW Magazine and drinks TANG, the drink of astronauts.

Goofs: We know about 1 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Factual errors: One of the LDS missionaries that visits the house is wearing a light blue shirt. LDS missionaries are only permitted to wear non-decorative white shirts with dark pants/suits, and a conservative tie. The missionaries also carried no pamphlets, visual aids, appointment books, or their own complete sets of scriptures, which is highly unlikely for door-to-door proselytizing.

Trivia: There are 5 entries in the trivia list – like these:

• Seven years before production, 14-year-old Holger Thaarup of Denmark was originally cast as the lead, Blake. He didnt speak any English and Gus Van Sant intended the role to be silent; Van Sant then met 17-year-old Michael Pitt and cast him instead.
• The song “Last Days” which is mumbled by Michael Pitt was written by Pitt himself.
• The “long dolly shot” in which the camera slowly pulls away from the window while Blake plays inside took seven takes to successfully complete. As the crew only had three pieces of dolly track, crew members had to take track from the front and run it around to the back while the dolly moved backward.
