   22) West Side Story (1961)

   Much of the plot is taken from Romeo and Juliet, including duels and balcony scene; but what makes it justly famous is the music and dancing. Really spectacular.

     23) Gandhi (1982)

     Just four years after the racist Deer Hunter won the Oscar for Best Picture, here we have a film which is unambiguously about racism, oppression, and the ultimate defeat of white supremacy. A convincing portrait of a remarkable man.
