West Side Story (DVD, 2003, Single Disc Version; Holiday O-Ring)

i buy west side story for my husband he loves the movie
we like it
he has been looking for it for a long time
and it plays great...

I'm starting a collection of all the musicals I've seen over the last 40 years. This is one of my favorites.
The songs are beautiful, and one of them was actually my graduation song. Anytime when you can hold on to a memory that has touched your heart by way of music, movies, whatever, I think it's the best thing for your soul. I graduated in '69, when I listened to the music, it reminds me of a place that I was at peace with myself.

this movie was for a friend of mine who loved this movie, i had looked everywhere for it and had bid before and lost out, the expression on her face when i gave her this gift was enough, thank-you so much!!!

This is truly a classic...it takea romeo and juliet to a level that young teens can enjoy. It is brightly colored and entertaining....i still remember the first time I saw this musical. Some of the greats will never leave you.

The item was packaged very well! Seller took the extra effort to make sure the dvd arrived safely.I will definitely buy from again.

Really liked some of the songs. Hadn't heard them in years and forgot they were from West Side Story. Funny, the setting is in the 1960's and the killing and mayhem has only gotten worse. I'll take small town life anytime. Did enjoy the story line of the show though. I bought it because my granddaughter is in our town play of the same name and I wanted her to see the difference in the movie version and our small town spin on the show. Recommend

Romeo and Juliet set in the Bowery of New York. Very good music by Leonard Bernstien and Stephan Sondheim, and great choreography by Jerome Robbins.
The Jets and the Sharks are rival gangs fighting over the turf where they all live. The mixing of the two gangs is full of tention and each is ready to fight.
When a rumble is called for that's when it hits the fan. Two gang members get killed and the sister of the Sharks leader falls in love with the friend of the Jets leader. Things go downhill from there. And in the end all that remains is Maria.
This an updated version of Romeo and Juliet with a slight twist.
This is another of my favorite movies that I have enjoyed for years and had to have in my collection.

I bought this because my young neice had never seen the money. I enjoyed everything about it. The quality was good and the packaging was new. Thank you for such a good product.

I love the choreography on this film; the dancing is electric and so full of life and energy. Rita Moreno is the gem of this film and stands out compared to the other characters. Miss Rita Moreno, you are classic!

i would like to buy this how much would you ask for it? i will give you up to $15. i need it for my sons class.

if you can please e-mail me back!
i wouldnt thank you enough.
thank you

I have always loved this 1950's style Romeo and Juliet. My sister took me to see it when I was young. I asked what it was about and she described it as a modern day Romeo and Juliet. I said, "What's that?" So to me Romeo and Juliet is more like an antique West Side Story. The songs are so well written as is the music and choreography. I bought this to add to my DVD collection.

My daughter and I enjoy watching musicals so I check them out at the library. She loved this movie after seeing it for the first time so I bought it for her so she can watch it as often as she likes.

This has always been my favorite musical! I can only say that it is a must see for musical lovers!

And when I was younger, I thought it taught a valuable lesson, don't hate people just because they are a little different from you, we all bleed red!

Yhis film is timeless. The characters could be from today if you added more violence. Gangs have always been the method of protection against different ethnic and cultural groups. Wonderfully instilled story of love in different levels of mixed cultures.

An UNUSUAL film with Natalie Wood in her younger years. Lots of wonderful music and great acting. Expect it to be different!

Bought this DVD because I never had it on VHS. I had rented the movie once before and said if it is ever released on DVD format I'm bying it. It is a classic film with elements no longer seen in todays' films. Natalie Woods is excellent along with the rest of the cast. I really enjoy watching this film over and over...Definitely a high recommendation

What more can be said about the modern day(45-50 years ago) Romeo and Juliet.The storyline is excellent,acting is superb,and the music is out of this world.Now that it's on DVD it is much easier to enjoy,with no color fading and screen flickering,go to any scene you want at the touch of a button.This is a must watch for anyone....yeh the kids will say it's corny (and really it is),but is was awesome in the 60's and it still conveys the social impact it did then.Get it and enjoy!!!!

This modern-day "Romeo & Juliet" has remained a classic for almost 50 years. You really don't have to be a fan of the musical to enjoy this movie. There is a beautiful love story, staring the late Natalie Wood, who is always worth watching (those of us who followed her career in the 1960's will know what I mean). Yet, whether you are a Baby-Boomer, or a Generation-X individual, her excellent acting ability and classic beauty can be enjoyed always, thanks to the miracle of film. Yes, and guys, don't think you're too "macho" to watch a musical. The underlying theme of gangs and street fights can capture your attention, too. I have seen this movie many times, but it is one worth owning, so I purchased it to replace my old VHS copy. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I saw the movie when I was much younger, and was reminded of it when the high school in our town decided to put it on as a musical. It's a great movie!

THIS MOVIE IS A CLASSIC ITS A ONE OF A KIND MOVIE THAT WILL LIVE ON FOREVER AND NEVER BE DUPLICATED. IT TAKES PLACE IN A MUCH SIMPLIER TIME AND HAS A STORY LINE THAT SO MANY FILMS TODAY DO NOT HAVE. ITS A GREAT FILM AND IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT YOU SHOULD.

I bought the movie to use in a classical movie class with 8th graders. It was a great purchase! I did not want to have to rent the movie for 9 consecutive weeks. I got a lesson outline from www.teachwithmovies.com to use with the movie as well.

I remembered that movie from my teen years when it first came out. It is basically a musical/love story with gang rivalry involved. Kind of a modern day Romeo and Juliet type movie. I loved the original actors and wanted to take a trip down memory lane as that movie was one of my favorites when I was a teen. I disliked the ending but then Romeo and Juliet had an unhappy ending too.I liked Natalie Wood and George Chakiris and Russ Tamblin as actors of my day.

it was brand new. The price i got for such a classic movie was a steal. The item couldnt have been shipped any faster. I love it!
