8	Hello, Dolly! (1969) more movies like this directed by Gene Kelly featuring Barbra Streisand, Walter Matthau, Michael Crawford, Louis Armstrong, Marianne McAndrew Twenty-seven-year-old Barbra Streisand seemed an inappropriate choice for middle-aged, match-making widow Dolly Levi, but her energy carries her right through the role and dominates the lackluster movie around her.

10	Bugsy Malone (1976) more movies like this directed by Alan Parker featuring Scott Baio, Jodie Foster, Florrie Dugger, John Cassisi, Martin Lev Here's the basic "shtick" of Bugsy Malone: it's a gangster picture enacted by children.

Essentially a comedy about the culture clash ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $8.99!
