New York, 1929, a war rages between two rival gangsters, Fat Sam and Dandy Dan. Dan is in possession of a new and deadly weapon, the dreaded "splurge gun". As the custard pies fly, Bugsy Malone, an all-round nice guy, falls for Blousey Brown, a singer at Fat Sam's speakeasy. His designs on her are disrupted by the seductive songstress Tallulah who wants Bugsy for herself.

how can you actually not like bugsy malone? it simultaneously taught children to love gangsta cinema while entertaining generations with comedy and music- you think goodfellas would be rated one of the best scorsese's without this? you think there would be part two or three of the godfather without this? you're wrong
