Hoodlum, Who am I, Siskel & Ebert? LOL....But since you insist, here goes nothing!
For me? In my humble opinion, Mean Streets is one of the best mob pictures ever made. Many critics say that it's really not a mob movie at all. But IMO those people would be dead wrong.
Although Martin Scorcese was just a young kid himself back then, and a struggling filmmaker at that, and Mean Streets was a low-budget film, Scorcese completely nailed it! He showed the REAL daily life and antics of knockaround guys from the neighborhood aspiring to become goodfellas. And the performances by ALL those young guys, DeNiro, Keitel, Provall, Carradine, etc., etc., was outstanding and believable.
I'm not even sure the movie ever won any type of awards (they may have, or maybe not). But for sure, it has become a "cult" movie of sorts. And has grown in popularity over the years. -- Now I gotta ask you the same question...What do you think about the movie?

Sunday Side Splitters... - A man was getting extremely frustrated trying to find a parking space in Midtown Manhattan during the height of the business day rush. After almost an hour of this nonsense, he was really starting lose it...He finally looks up and prays, "Please God, I can't take this anymore. If you'll just open up a space for me, I swear I'll give up booze and broads and go to Sunday Mass each and every week, without fail!"
Suddenly, all the clouds in the sky part and the sun shines down directly on an empty parking spot along the curb in front of him.. Without hesitation the man exclaims, "Never mind Lord, I already found one!" -

Harold, an extremely wealthy, 65-year old widower, showed up at his private Country Club one afternoon in the company of a young, absolutely breathtakingly beautiful 24-year old woman.
As she walked across the room she knocked every guy off his feet with her gorgeous face and hourglass figure. When she spoke, her youthful charm and carefree giggle was irresistibly alluring.
She seemed glued to Harold, tightly hanging onto his arm and seemingly memorized by every word he spoke. She giggled at his jokes and hugged him all night long like there was no tomorrow.
The entire evening all his buddies looked on intently and couldn't believe their eyes. This girl was a dream come true!
They finally cornered him and asked, "Harold, how the hell did you ever land such a trophy girlfriend?"
Harold replied, "Oh, she's not my girlfriend. She's my wife."
Now totally floored by what they just heard, his friends asked, "Your wife? How in the world did you ever persuade such a hot lady to marry you?"
Harold said, "I just lied about my age."
Laughing, his friends then asked, "What did you have to tell her Harold, that you were only 45?"
Harold smirked and said, "No, I told her that I was 90!"

Sunday Shenanigans... -
Vito decided to finally go see an ophthalmologist because he'd been seeing little clusters of bugs, for quite awhile now, darting back and forth across his eyes playing soccer.
After giving him a preliminary eye exam, Dr. Umberto Ubatz replied, This could be a serious condition Vito. It looks like you'll need to get an MRI scan, and I don't wanna wait. If you like, I could make a special appointment for you, and slip you in this coming Sunday”.
Upon hearing this, Vito was stunned, and quickly retorted, "Are you nuts doc? Sunday starts the finals, and I got a ton of money riding on the game."

Wacky Wednesdays.... - Napolitani Reasoning!
One lovely summer afternoon an Italian couple took their two kids to the beach in Napoli. They parked their car close to the seaside, unload their swimsuits, towels and buckets and happily walk to the beach. As they sat down on the sand, Armando (the dad), suddenly remembered that he left his sunglasses in the car. "Honey, I'll be right back, I just gotta go grab my glasses, I left them in the car."
He gets to the car, jumps in and shuts the door behind him as he starts looking for is glasses. Armando leaned down to look under the seats and in the various compartments. As he does this he realizes the car is slowly raising in height on one side.
Confused, he rolls down the windows and looks outside to see what's going on. A man, who apparently hadn't noticed the car was occupied, had lifted the vehicle with a car jack and was starting to unscrew the wheels. Armando, realizing the man was obviously trying to steal his tires, yells "Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Startled, the thief looked up at him, paused for a moment, then whispers to Armando in a reassuring tone, "Ok paisano! Ok! I takka the wheels, you takka the radio."
