Bugsy Malone (1976)

I saw this when I was a child and loved it, I just bought it and watched it with my Daughter(12), she did not care for it but when we saw it again it was HER suggestion to watch it, then I hooked our Little Cousin (6).

Jodie Foster was CLEARLY a wonderful Actress then and now. Scott Baio was fun too. Does anyone know if Razamataz was (The Michael Jackson?) it is not on his credits.

Wonderful fun! I want one of the cars!

Fmovies: I watched this movie in the mid-1980's when I was around 6 or 7. I just loved it. I recently got a chance to watch it again on television and it brought back memories. When I watched it as a child I didn't know who Jodie Foster or Scott Baio was. Now that I'm in my 20's I realized that they were in the movie. I love this movie because I loved it when I was younger. I don't know what my impression would've been if my first viewing was in my adult years. This movie is kind of corny but for kids it's hilarious. I love the songs! I remember I use to tape record them and play them over and over till the tape wore out.

This is one of my favorite movies from my childhood. Excellent sound track (can't find it anywhere) and a funny story. Definite must-see! This brings back memories of how movies used to be - light and fun to watch. Too many movies today are too obnoxious and pretentious. It's not Shakespeare, but it's entertaining.

Bugsy Malone fmovies. When i was a kid I loved this film, the music was good, it wasn't violent and was light hearted. I think most kids would like it today if they watched it. It was quite original and fun, and you can see that on the actors faces. Beats having to watch terrible remakes of classic films, or more awful commercial tie-in films, which do no more than advertise new toys for kids to play with! Plus I bought it on DVD for £5 at HMV, which you can't moan about and the DVD itself has a few interesting extras, bargain!

I think this is an excellent movie...good clean fun and there isn't near enough of that on the screen these days! I love the music, (I have always liked Paul Williams' music) the dancing, the kids AND the pedal cars! All in all a great movie. Great costuming, too. It's hard to get pre-pubescent girls to look like vamps but those costumes did a lot in that direction.

The only part that I didn't like was the "Fat Sam" character whose "New Yawk" accent was just a little bit overdone. But I think they did a little play on that when Fat Sam said the word "personally" & Tallulah was making fun of his pronunciation!

It's a shame more of these kids didn't go on to become stars. Maybe their acting wasn't top notch but some of those faces were "wow"! Scott Biao & Jodie Foster are the only two who seem to have went anywhere with their talents.

Fair warning: The "Michael Jackson" in this movie is not the "Michael Jackson" formerly of "The Jackson Five" & known for his "Thriller" video & "other things". It's a totally different person.

This is one of my all time favorite films, straight up, no chaser! Some films possess a magical quality that cannot be planned as they are filming. This film has that magic. The musical numbers are wonderful, the performances genuine. I love the way the romantic subtleties are handled since the cast children. This film is made by the music. There is not one bad number in the film. Bring back the splurge gun!
