Add a SummaryBilly wants to become a dancer but his dad thinks it's something only girls do and wants Billy to study, not to end up joining him to work in the coal mines. Billy goes through a hard time of his life, trying to prove to his dad he's born to be a dancer. The boy finally auditions for a dance school academy and the whole family awaits for the results impatiently.

Add a Comment"Inside of everyone of us is a special talent waiting to come out. The trick is finding it". Billy Elliot is one of the best movies. It is exceptional, funny, touching and sad. If you discover your talent, pursue it, nurture it and share it with the world! An outstanding performance of Jamie Bell!
Shocked that many complain about the swearing language - guess what, you are watching a movie set in work class society with characters lacking high education - naturally there is going to be lots of swearing used. Btw MOST of US movies contain almost an uninterrupted chain of F* words that makes our Europeans' hair curl. This was a pretty decent usage of F* words taking into the account where the story was set.
A must see movie!
Wow, entertaining, funny, moving, and charming!
I loved this movie and the boy!
Great story, very inspiring. Too much swearing, slang and heavy accent, hard to understand.
Billy Elliot is a great movie. But I wish
there was less swearing in it cause I think there kids out there who would like. But if you are a parent who does not like there kid to watch a movie with swearing then I would don't get this movie. But don't get me wrong Ilike this movie.
I have a friend at school who was in this show and he is at mindtech and right now he is grade eight.right now.
The US cut DVD is rated PG in Canada & PG13 in the USA. I mention this because someone said it was an R rated film. It's not.
Brilliant!
Bob recommended this movie.

The whole movie is truly inspiring. I highly recommend this outstanding movie! Billy has a really strong character! Love it!
