  • Come show me how right I am:-)

  • Great old movie version of this play, and Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno were smokin' hot!

  • I feel like there'd be a lot less violence in inner cities if this is really how gangs interacted with each other.

  • bwahaha they walk around the little girl... such badasses!

  • swagggggggggggerrr

    

  • i dont think i'd be intimidated of a gang as adorable as that

  • Thumbs up if you didn't skip the prologue because the music is so damn awesome?

  • no one cares what year you're watching this in. And you can tell i mean business because i used "you're" properly.

  • @SpyinGirly Thumbs up if you are watching this in 2012 ;D

  • I can't see anything. I can only hear sound.

  • @juna0zzzz02178 skip to like the middle.

  • Correction 2012 ! :)

  • i love how they walk around the girl's chalk drawing, adorable

  • Thank you so much for uploading! :D

  • Im in this musical right now. It's great.

  • this is not for pleasure. this is for english homework. i never thought id see the day that i was being forced to watch stuff on youtube

  • Skip to 4:58 for the beginning of the movie (as mindolleath said, it's just music and color-changing bars and junk... the actual title page begins at 4:58)

  • Thumbs up if you skipped through most of the beginning of this video, 'cause it was just a creepy flashing thing and intense music

  • I'm doing his for my school play! x

  • Like this if you're watching in 1769.

  • Like this if you are watching this in 2012

  • I think the reason I like the Sharks is because they all remind me of Johnny Cade from The Outsiders.

    "Do it for Johnny, Man! Do it for Johnny!"

  • When Bernardo turns that corner and starts snapping his fingers, you know its about to go down.

  • Skip to 5:05

  • I had to watch this is music and I am kind of liking it.

  • watching this in music AMAZING from what i've seen so far.. :)

  • It doesn't show! :( it's just a bunch of colors WTF grrrr so no I gotta skip to part 2. Great way to start a film =___=

  • I decided to show this movie to my sister. Every time I start snapping now, she thinks I want to play Just Dance.

  • I wish gangs were really like this

  • First time ever seeing this. I'm gonna love this.

  • 6:35 Oh no, they're snapping! Run! I really love this movie. 

  • Captain's log: 2:14 in and I'm still staring at moving lines with changing colors. Have I been secretly intoxicated? I think so.

    Good night, and good luck.

  • @Kaitlyn102798 Funniest comment yet

  • @Kaitlyn102798 Finally! A funny and ORIGINAL comment ! :D

  • think how much different the world would be if gangs today randomly dance around

  • lol 7:25... not gangsta enough to walk over the chalk...?

  • i really... REALLY wish that i had grown up in this time.

  • THANK GOD. thank you so much for posting this video

  • I think the puerto ricos are hotter then the Americans and im 100% american

  • Dam I haven't seen this movie since I was in freshman! Geez it's been tha long!! Good story/movie!

  • I saw this movie on TV 8 years ago... it's so shame that this kind of movie is to big for my little brain back then.

  • @zionlo313233343536 I mean too big

  • I love it when people say "Any guy who can dance is gay!" its funny:) if you truly think that then go look up Bboying! Youll be pretty sad after that;) i love this movie btw

  • Im watching this not because of glee. But because I wanted to see this musical for a while now, an glee only reminded me that I needed to watch it.. Don't get me wrong.. I love glee! And this is one of my favorite musicals.. Everything about it is brilliant. Btw to the ppl who are saying that because they know how to dance they are gay.. I would love to see you try dancing like this.. I bet you can't cuz' you are foolish and not talented :)

  • All you people who are fussing this movie please for the love of God SHUT UP!!! No one cares if you are only watching this because of Glee or because your in a drama class.

  • I am only watching this because I need to prepare for an oral test -_-

  • @punktheman me to man -_- this sucksss

  • if it wasn't for glee i woulden't had wached it in the first plase so ya

  • I have to watch this 'cause of my lame ass Theater class.

  • yes i watch glee

    No i did not come to watch it because of glee

    I've wanted to see this for a while

    haven't had time to actually watch it

  • @mkjrhodes i have had the same problem!

  • @ashleajade192 I'm so glad i'm not alone! I can't believe i actually have thumbs up haha

  • all you people who are watching this because of glee im glad atleast i thing on that show brought you to actual genius

  • Not gonna lie. Nothing more terrifying than ballet. ;)

  • @JrOrion ballerina...right here...

  • Can u all stop saying that the guys are gay and not tough because the dance?! Thats the point of it being a musical. OMG! Seriously, its not a huge deal that theyre dancing. It is a MUSICAL. A fricken MUSICAL! And in MUSICALS, they DANCE! So get over it! Its just like in Grease, Footloose, all those musicals with gangs. Just because they dance, doesnt mean they arent tough.

  • @SuperBroadwayNerd In the origins of dance, it was purely a man's sport. Ballet moves were based off of fencing moves, so it is actually quite manly to dance. It only became a "girls sport" as society allowed less bulky clothes on women.

  • @SuperBroadwayNerd not to mention, this is the only musical that has that kind of dance

  • press 5 to go to movie thanks me later

  • I am only watching this because I looove Glee !!!!!!

  • "like if you are watching this in 2011"

    Um No, I'm watching this in 1500 BC on my iStone.

  • @Gleekingitout9812 Lmao! iStone!!!1

  • @Laurentstutorials But the overture is mean as =D

  • most of this is the intro geeeez loweez

  • @ATLRandomness at least they have the balls to stab someone

  • that is sooo cool...

  • Oh childhood favorite of mine

  • Love love love :) Spruce Creek High School will be presenting the theatre production in December. It's going to be fabulous! <3

  • why is the overture so long?

  • benardo is hawwwwtttt

  • Bernardo = smexayyyy

  • they copy BEN-HUR overture... maybe Droctor Z Too.

  • The 5 minute intro is the overture.

  • My favorite musical ever! I love the music and Bernardo is pretty hot.

  • Girly-est. Gang. Ever

  • wtf is up with the 5 minute intro of nothing?

  • It's the overture. The movie is based off of the original broadway production- Which had a long intro so that everything could be set up and the people could listen while being seated.

    

  • @loosenings listen to it.

  • I'm sorry but they don't look very hard when they're dancing like that 08:06 :P

  • i thought that there was something wrong, when it took 5 minutes before the film started

  • like if you are watching this is 2011

  • Going the the 50th Anniversary showing tonight with my daughter. Can't wait!!

  • @alaskayounglove it gives people time to get ready for the movie (snacks and finding a seat), they didn't have previews to ignore back then.

  • can somebody please tell me why in old films do they have and hour of just a pic and some music?

  • @alaskayounglove because that's class

  • Can anyone tell me which one Tiger is? xD

  • idk y but i find Bernardo attractive

  • My school is doing this play <3 Gonna be amaaazing!

  • Dear Rebellatina,

    Mr.Charkiris also played"Riff"..the leader of "The Jets"in the London,England stage production of"West Side Story"..before he signed on to play"Bernado"in

    the movie version.

  • The best musical score that Lenny Bernstein ever composed and that Johnny Green and his orchastra ever arranged and performed.

  • west side story is coming in 6 days to the big screen I can't wait to see it my mom and I are going to buy tickets tomorrow.

  • I can't believe Bernardo is actually Greek!

  • russ looks funny dancing!!

  • a 5 minute intro? seriously??

  • Rebellatina14 --"West Side" means on the west side of Central Park.

  • I COME HERE SO THAT I COULD PLAY FOR TONY IN SECTIONALS SOON ~  HEY ,I AM BLAINE FROM GLEE :p

  • Only real men pivot.

  • What I don't get is that this movie is called West Side Story, but it's in NYC. Shouldn't be like it's original title, and be called "East Side Story"?

  • @rebellatina14 Its the west side of New York. Manhattan

  • @rebellatina14 welcome to Hell's Kitchen

  • This was my first non disney musical! I was four years old when I first say this. and to this day I still can say only one thing about this film/musical:

    "Without a doubt one of the best!"

  • thank god I studied Romeo and Juliet, it makes alot more sense now

  • I am in loveee with this filmmm :)) xD

  • Who the hell would dislike this

    

  • Watched Glee never seen this before hope its good :)

  • @Paleoman1997 lol me too

  • @Paleoman1997 Don't worry, it's FANTASTIC. xD

  • @Paleoman1997 it is

  • Bernardo is so classy... and hot. His style of dress makes me wish I lived back then just so I could break the rules and date someone like him.

  • Casually dancing as you walk along the street. Thumbs up if you've done that and got a strange look from someone.

  • Oh god the introduction is 5 minutes long....geez.....but thanks for posting thing i highly appreciate it

  • thanks for posting this i never saw it before and i wanted to see if for glee <3

  • amazing movie and Music best movie in the whole world

  • I wonder what was going through their minds at this moment. I think it was something like this;

    'Oh, i'm so tough i'm gonna steal a basketball from a nerd and snap down the street. After that, i'm gonna DANCE!'

    Lol...

  • modern day flash mob?

  • Rewatching in preparation for Glee Season 3 :D

  • @ornaclarke4a1 Shipklainedemort!

  • @EllesvdVen Yeah!! Well spotted :3

  • @ornaclarke4a1 rewatching bc my school is doing it! :D sorry, i'm just really excited lol

  • @ornaclarke4a1 ME TOO HAHAHA FUNNY

  • @ornaclarke4a1

    I'm doing the EXACT same thing

    I <3 glee!!!

  • @ornaclarke4a1 I had never heard any songs from West Side Story except I feel pretty until they were on glee. I think that they were amazing in tuesdays episode!!

  • @ornaclarke4a1 I don't hate this season of Glee but I don't like it either. Too much drama from out of nowhere with very little explanation as to why. I was excited too but now I just don't know. The actual play was one of the only highlights so far this season... well that and Darren Criss becoming a full time cast member in the form of Blaine moving to McKinley

  • i wish gangs now just did ballet in the streets XD

  • @abihjohnson oh yea ikr :D that would be sooooooooooooo awesome. :D

  • What would the target audience be im doing a project about it

  • Only real gangsters dance, and prances and sing like gaylords....

  • yeah, they look so much doing ballet in the street.

  • skip??? the overture is the best part!!! >:O

  • LOL, what's with the colorful beginning on this vid? Oh, well. LOVES<3

  • we are doing this play for school!!! exciting! i'm aiming for anita :P

  • im in this show in my town!

  • West Side Story and Grease are one of the best musicals ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    <3

    Its so hard to decide wether to be a Shark or a Jet? XD

  • todays gangs will never be as cool as this

  • NYC was a nicer place back then.......Now it's a freak show!!!!!

  • @1217chic you must not come from the nyc area..the place was a disaster and Times Square was nothing but XXX clubs/movies, there were panhandlers everywhere and crime was high. When Major Giuliani was elected, he did was no other had done before him, he cleaned up the city..the downtown area, which was the worst, is now the most desirable in terms of real estate, and Times Square is now family friendly and completely clean .

  • I love the Overture......I was 6 months old and living in NYC at that time......

  • @1217chic Me too! Well, not the living in NYC part, the loving the overture part! <33

  • can't find part 15 hehehehe

  • Oh, thank you so so so much for uploading! And in HD, I thought it was too good to be true!

  • Elvis was supposed to play Tony but the Colonel nixed it. I think in heaven's movie theater this will be fixed.

  • 7:01 - We don't take kindly to Biff Tannem 'round these parts.

  • If today's gangs danced in the streets like that I would get shot because I would be laughing at them. XD

  • i like jets. a ''dancing'' gang! :)
