Melody

Daniel is a shy, introverted child at an English school. His mother is overprotective,cling,smothering,and neurotic, and his father is an emotionally distant brute who is afraid she's turning their boy into a fairy. At school Daniel befriends troubled but charismatic bad boy Ornshaw, who doesn't let anyone see where he lives. They hang out and run around the town to parks and such. They also have to contend with the bumbling, effete,snobby headmaster,and the bullying,angry,bitter Latin teacher Mr Dicks.One day when they get caught spying on the girls ballet class and are brought inside,Daniel falls passionately in love with young Melody. She is a sweet,intuitive girl with well-meaning but dorky parents and grandparents. Her friends get her to kiss a picture of Mick Jagger.Daniel is in love with her but can't quite seem to get up the nerve to talk to her. At a dance he gets Ornshaw to go with him to ask Melody and another girl to dance,but the other girl scoffs at Ornshaw's dancing and they both argue and the other girl storms off and Melody goes with her friend. Daniel is so inspired by Melody he manages to win a foot race in school too although he nearly passes out afterwards. Finally Ornshaw and Daniel get in trouble and Ornshaw puts a book under his pants to avoid the spanking from the bumbling, effete headmaster and Dicks,but Daniel's book is caught and he gets the full spanking from the headmaster. Melody comforts him later and he and Melody run off,upsetting the jealous Ornshaw. Daniel and Melody spend the day together, going to the beach and the fair. Melody takes Daniel home to meet her family who are nice but very nervous over a boy being in the house. Melody's father particularly goes over the top trying to be jolly. Melody and Daniel decide they want to get married, not later, but now. The headmaster scolds them both for their cutting class, and ignorance, and Melody's family gently try to explain to her why she can't get married now. Daniel doesn't even try to talk to his family because he knows his mother would probably faint dead away. Their classmates find it humorous at first, but Ornshaw, who has long been fed up with the adults, sees their desire to get married as a way to strike a blow for independence. The kids decide to have a wedding for Daniel and Melody by the railroad tracks. Ornshaw is the preacher. All the adults race to stop it and a battle breaks out between the kids and the adults. A kid has been working on firecrackers all through the film and he finally throws one through a car and blows it up, and then all the adults run away, except for Daniel's mother who is curiously in shock, and the vengeful Dicks who still chases Ornshaw, Daniel, and Melody to the railroad tracks. Ornshaw sees Daniel and Melody off on a pulley cart. Dicks shows up and closes in to give Ornshaw a beating with an old shoe, but Ornshaw disarms him and chases him away with his own shoe. Daniel and Melody ride away into the sun on the pulley cart. I'm assuming they'll go home when they get hungry though.
