Here they are, the snapping, dancing gangsters.

Bernardo (George Chakiris) and Anita (Rita Moreno)are hot, hot, hot! Everyone in this film is excellent, but these two really stand out. No wonder they both got Oscars for the role. I also include the little drama before the song because I love seeing them bickering like an old married couple.

West Side Story-Jet Song

By request. I have also included the Jets' dance in the beginning and Maria and Tony's first meeting.

The climax of the story, when everything goes together. I always got chills watching the "tonight there will be no morning star" part.

West Side Story-Maria

West Side Story-Somewhere

Probably the most famous song from this classic. Inspired by the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet.

The Jets try to play it cool after Riff's death. I think this is one of the best performed and arranged sequences of the film. Can you imagine expressing repressed anger through pirouette? Genius. And I love how they stare into the camera (supposedly where the Sharks are) in the end.

A fun number from West Side Story.
