Really interesting special features afterward talking about how they used CGI trick to age the characters. Here’s a couple examples of Joe Pesci. Well those pictures don't look so good even on a full-sized monitor. The bottom one shows it better. The left one is what Pesci looks like before the adjustments. At the very end of the movie he is very old and the transformation is really, really good. Hard to explain. But, if you do watch the movie -- and it's a goodun -- stick around for the conversation after it. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also like Donnie Brasco, Bronx tale, The Departed, Road to Perdition, Casino. Miller's Crossing is good, but I haven't see it in a loooong time. I've seen all those myself, all good flicks. Godfather I and II are in that top 10 list for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How amazing is it that Coppola’s father wrote the music? "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Miloshewski Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 What's everyone's favorite movie quote? One that comes to mind is from Tombstone. "Fights not with you lunger." "I beg to differ sir. We started a game we didn't finish." "I was just fooling about." "I wasn't." “To those devoid of imagination a blank place on the map is a useless waste; to others, the most valuable part.”--Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonesome Dove: Tommy Lee Jones is beating the crap out of some jerk with a branding iron, that was picking on Nute. When they finally pull him off of the guy. He looks at the crowd that had gathered, and said "I hate rudeness in a man" . It is great!!! Luck is where preparation meets opportunity...... Or you could just flip a coin???

At first I tried ranking them, but found that I couldn't pick a favorite, much less list them in order. So, I picked out the top 5 (as of right now) to post. As you can see, there were some ties 12 Angry Men 61* Band of Brothers Fargo Forrest Gump The Godfather The Godfather Part II High Noon It's a Wonderful Life Lonesome Dove Monty Python and the Holy Grail No Country for Old Men North by Northwest Patton Raising Arizona Saving Private Ryan Seabiscuit Schindler's List The Searchers The Sixth Sense The Quiet Man To Kill a Mockingbird Truman I pasted this from the list, which is sorted alphabetically. So, what's your top 5? Ya know you have 3 Coen brothers in this list. This is scene is probably in my top 3 now...so good ness 1 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
