A gangster movie where all the gangsters are children. Instead of real bullets they use "splurge guns" that cover the victim in cream. The story tells of the rise of "Bugsy Malone" and the battle for power between "Fat Sam" and "Dandy Dan".

"Pass this to Babyface. Wait... I am Babyface." I've no idea how many times I watched this as a kid - let's just say it was a lot. Brilliant soundtrack.

Amazing concept (what was Alan Parker smoking when he came up with this one?!?). Fun movie. Most notable, though, is how most of the leading actors (with the exception of Jodie Foster and Scott Baio) sank without trace after it.

A classic what more could you want, children playing gangsters, cream pie throwing and cream filled guns and some of the catchiest songs. I could watch this over and over again...
