Second Take Cinema

• Bugsy Malone

  A British-made New York gangster movie, a period-piece AND it's a musical!? How is that supposed to work? Oh, and one other thing...the cast is entirely made up of children. Yep, children. That's the unusual concept at the centre of Alan Parker's odd British musical-comedy Bugsy Malone which tells the story of a man caught up in a battle of rival gangs determined to wipe one another out and vying for control of a powerful new weapon; the "splurge gun."

• Breakfast At Tiffany's

  A classic movie that launched Audrey Hepburn into a cultural icon and even spawned a 90s soft rock hit, almost everyone recognises Breakfast At Tiffany's, even if they've never actually seen the movie. Jamie first saw this movie as a teen and introduces it to Rory for the first time. Does the movie deserve its cultural reputation or is it all fanfare with no substance, and can certain poor decisions in this movie be reconciled with modern values? Hosted on Acast.
