Fame (1980)

This classic movie is about a high school in New York for the performing arts. It focuses on a group of students and follows them from their auditions through their graduation from the school. We get involved with actors, dancers, and musicians. The students break out into song and dance in the lunchroom, in the middle of the street, whenever they want. This movie won award for the songs released, and is in the hearts of many people who grew up in the 1980's.

I may not have gone into the performing arts, but I have always had an appreciation for them and other forms of art. I love musicals, and this is no exception. Several of the actors have gone on to prominent careers, while others have gone on to careers in theater and music. This movie brought light to this school, and spawned a TV series that ran for several years. At almost three hours, it is a long movie, but it is well worth watching.

10 words or less: A classic that everyone should see.
