"West Side Story" is a musical that was filmed in 1961. The movie was directed by Robert Wise. The movie stars Natalie Wood, George Chakiris, Rita Moreno, Richard Beymer, and Russ Tamblyn. The movie is based off Romeo and Juliet.
I kinda liked this movie. I liked how the plot was similar to Romeo and Juliet but was a different movie. After a while, the song's soon got annoying because they were derivative.Other than the songs sounding all the same, the movie overall was not too bad.

Citizen Kane
"Citizen Kane" was made in 1941 and produced by Orson Wells, who also co-starred in the movie. The movie stars Orson Wells, Joseph Cotton, Dorothy Comingore, and Everette Sloane. The movie is set as a flashback back on Kane's life and everything he accomplished.
The word "Rosebud" comes from the sled that Kane used when he was a little boy. As a child he loved the sled. Although he had a great life with money and being successful at his job, riding the sled was still the happiest moment of his life. The sled was taken away from him after he was taken away.

Beatles movie
"Yellow Submarine" was made in 1968. It starred the "Beatles" throughout the movie. The movie was animated and was a cartoon. "Let It Be" was made in 1970. It starred the Beatles also. This movie was a documentary on the life in the studio of the Beatles.
I did not like these movies at all. I thought that "Yellow Submarine" was really dumb, and that they must have been on drugs when they made it. The documentary was kinda cool but mostly boring. They just played sons over and over again. Eventually it got boring and annoying. But if I had to choose between which one was better, I would say that Yellow Submarine was better because it had a plot and a story and a little funny.
I think that these movies showed how innovative the Beatles were. They had new methods. They had there own animated movie because they were such a hit and were such a big hit. They changed the music world and pop culture. There was nobody besides Elvis to be that successful such as them in that time period.
