zfc Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Godfather for me although I cannot associate the third film with the other two as the third one is class one cack IMO. Scarface is good but is easily surpassed by Goodfellas and Once Upon A Time In America the latter is almost on a par with The Godfather I and II.

Mr Mosquito Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Don't forget 'Pulp Fiction' because this film is definately also amongst the best gangster movies of all time. What must not be forgotten about this film is the fact that some of the most savage scenes and memorable scripts were generated over ownership of a watch......a war watch..... Captain Koons pulls a gold wrist watch out of his pocket and does one of the best scripts in cinema history...... CAPT. KOONS This watch I got here was first purchased by your great-granddaddy. It was bought during the First World War in a little general store in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was bought by private Doughboy Ernie Coolidge the day he set sail for Paris. It was your great-granddaddy's war watch, made by the first company to ever make wrist watches. You see, up until then, people just carried pocket watches. Your great-granddaddy wore that watch every day he was in the war. Then when he had done his duty, he went home to your great- grandmother, took the watch off his wrist and put it in an ol' coffee can. And in that can it stayed 'til your grandfather Dane Coolidge was called upon by his country to go overseas and fight the Germans once again. This time they called it World War Two. Your great-granddaddy gave it to your granddad for good luck. Unfortunately, Dane's luck wasn't as good as his old man's. Your granddad was a Marine and he was killed with all the other Marines at the battle of Wake Island. Your granddad was facing death and he knew it. None of those boys had any illusions about ever leavin' that island alive. So three days before the Japanese took the island, your 22-year old grandfather asked a gunner on an Air Force transport named Winocki, a man he had never met before in his life, to deliver to his infant son, who he had never seen in the flesh, his gold watch. Three days later, your grandfather was dead. But Winocki kept his word. After the war was over, he paid a visit to your grandmother, delivering to your infant father, his Dad's gold watch. This watch. This watch was on your Daddy's wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi. He was captured and put in a Vietnamese prison camp. Now he knew if the gooks ever saw the watch it'd be confiscated. The way your Daddy looked at it, that watch was your birthright. And he'd be damned if and slopeheads were going to put their greasy yella hands on his boy's birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide somethin'. His ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid with uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you. Captain Koons then hands the watch to Butch. A little hand comes into FRAME to accept it.

Guest MaloneFM Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 To give him his due his due KM and indeed yours for bringing it to our attention, it was as James Frasier's lawyer that Hump got noticed for the bigger roles. It's a two hander between Cagney and O' Brien. I still think Cagney was right to shoot the bugger though. The Dead End Kids were to have their own series of films until they became a bit crap. Fast foward to Kilmarnock in 1974 and the formation of the punk band also called The Dead End Kids. Who supported The Bay City Rollers on what turned out to be their last UK tour (1976) and played Dundee Caird Hall, Edinburgh Playhouse, Glasgow Apollo, Belleview Manchester and Birmingham ABC. CBS Records saw the reaction the fans gave the band and especially to the old Honeycombs hit, 'Have I the Right'. In 1977 an album contract and 5 singles followed. But not a fat lot more. And as of this date, both sets of Dead End Kids are crap. Or just plain dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
