Getting To Know....

On YouTube, I watched former Mafia member Michael Franzese talking about mob movies and how authentic they’re. He spoke about Goodfellas and said Henry Hill wasn’t all that in the mafia.

Bob Hoskins

I nearly always prefer English actors too. They don't have to be perfect looking, in fact not at all, they do need to be able to act though.
Yes, Bob Hoskins,
Helen Mirren
Pete Postlethwaite,
Alison Steadman
There is an endless list.

Miller's Crossing.

I thought you'd get pelters for that. Instead it was just ignored.

5 from me though. Brilliant plot and characters. And Finney's "Oh, Danny Boy" scene.

5 stars from me. Must have seen Goodfellas 20-30 times.
I do also like Layer Cake, if this is a gangster movie.
