Billy Elliot

Critically acclaimed, Oscar(R)-nominated coming-of-age drama about a working class English youth named Billy Elliott (Jamie Bell) who defies the macho ethic of his conservative mining town by taking up ballet dancing. At first, Billy's father (Gary Lewis) is appalled, but it seems that Billy has the talent to create a rosier future than one in the coal mines, a dream that just might come true with the help of a dedicated teacher (Julie Walters).
