Bugsy Malone
 | Now this is a film that couldn't be made today. My young son is a big fan and we watched it together last night (well, I caught parts of it whilst knocking up dinner).
Kids shooting at other kids, kids dressed as adults dancing about on stage, sexual overtones by the ever excellent Jodie Foster, gang warfare, drinking, baseball bat violence - it's all there, though in a watered down fashion mostly. It's a cracking film, but I stand by my statement. It could never be made now. |
