Just finished The Irishman. Excellent, but I’m partial to mob flicks. 
 

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.

Yep, that's a good one. Haven't read the book.

Godfather I and II are top ten movies for me. 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.

I have The Godfather soundtrack on my phone music. How amazing is it that Coppola’s father wrote the music?

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."

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!!!

Farewell... my brave Hobbits. My work is now finished. Here at last, on the shores of the sea... comes the end of our Fellowship. I will not say, Do not weep... not all tears are an evil. - Gandalf

About 10 years ago I started keeping a list of my favorite movies. 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
