Hairspray (the remake)
One of the greatest remade movies of the new century. It has great music, great messages, and great symbolism.
The music was fantastic - There never was a soundtrack that I wanted to show all of the video clips at the next major dance. We would all dance our feet off, while watching the clips on the wall of the dance hall.
The great messages were the ne'er tired out themes of race relations and respecting everyone different, such as overweight people, "coloureds",
Some of the symbolism is the all of the items that are black & white. For instance:
The Domino's Sugar Factory sign was b&w,
Barnes & Noble
