Staying In Tonight? 15 Movies To Watch With Your Boo Thang On Valentine’s Day
West Side Story
A true classic, “West Side Story” tells the story of Tony and Maria, star-crossed lovers who come from feuding gangs. While watching the movie now, it may seem predictable, at the time “West Side Story” was innovative and wildly entertaining for its elaborate dance numbers and its interpretation of a centuries old “Romeo and Juliet” theme amid a city environment and Latino characters. Though thumbs down that the cast itself was largely devoid of Hispanic actors (sans Rosie Perez), the story itself continues to be one of the most romantically tragic stories ever told on the silver screen.
