I like the clever references to mob movies,
particularly to Goodfellas. Christopher Imperioli
who played Spider in Goodfellas and plays Chris Molitisanti in the Sopranos is a fantastic actor.
Two references to Goodfellas come to mind.

********SPOILIER********SPOILER*********SPOILER
1.
When Chris stops off to get some pastries for the
guys at the bakery and the serving guy lets
someone jump him in the queue. Chris is
seriously pissed off.
"Do I look like a p*ssy to you!!!!"
So angry that he has to shoot the guy in the foot.
"Next time you see my face - show some respect"


Of course it echoes the Goodfellas incident when
Tommy shoots Spider in the foot. It was a huge pleasure to see that Sopranos scene for the first time - with the memory of Spider.

Had me chuckling for a while!!
Fantastic irony that Chris Moltisanti is a self confessed Joe Pesci diehard fan.

2.
Chris is having nightmares that he f*cked up clipping Emil (E-mail) Colon. He decides to dig the body up to check. Having established that the guy is dead - though he now has a beard and women's fingernails, Chris decides to move the stiff to a new resting place. The words he use
beautifully remind us of digging up Billy Batts' body in Goodfellas following Jimmy's info about
condominiums and "having to get it out of there"

Chris Moltisanti:
"Help me lift him, we'll take him down the pine barrens before they build a f*cking condo here"

Genius writing. Absolute genius.

I like in Season 1, when Silvio asks Tony if it were a problem if the suits that Chris and Brendan stole didn't go back. Tony, already infuriated that Chris and Brendan stole from the truck company after he told him to leave those trucks alone glances at the suit racks and says "Hey I dont see you assholes puttin that rack, that rack and this rack here back on the truck." Whats so funny about this scene is that he told them not to steal anymore, but once he sees how good the suits look, he decides to keep a few of them. I also love it when Paulie and Chris kill Mike Palomice, I couldn't stand this guy. And the best scene is in season 1 when Tony is having an argument with his mother about the retirement community, using all the lines, and phrases that he heard Dr. Melfri use earlier. He found what she said convincing, so he tried to use the same thing to convince his mother, but he screws it up as he is frustrated with her.

Season 3 sucks imhop, and Imma big Sopranos fan, but it just contained far too much therapy and cheating on Carmella with the Mercedes dealer woman.

Aside from having favorite scenes of The Sopranos, what makes the show great is the funny one-liners.

One of my favorite (and I hope this doesn't offend anyone), is when Meadow is trying to convince Tony and Carm that Berkeley is a great school. She says, "There are more Nobel Prize winners in the Bay Area than anywhere else in the world."

Then Tony says, "Nobel Prize in what? Packing Fudge?"

what episodes is the stolen saturn in?

I like the one where tony and his son are in the boat and they tip the canoe with to guys in it!pretty funny

Think it's Episode 2 46 Long.

My favorite Sopranos moment is when Tony passes out upon seeing Uncle Ben, after meeting Meadow's friend Noah.

how about telling us why....I am just wondering why that one?

CamillusDon --

For some reason I just thought it was hysterical that Tony's racism is so deep into his subconscious that the mere sight of Uncle Ben smiling at him caused one of his infamous panic attacks. I half expected a later scene of Tony eating pancakes and having an attack at the sight of Aunt Jemima......

Not that I'm condoning racism, just condoning clever writing!

Don Brannuccio

yes, that adds up...like when he has a spell after seeing the coldcuts and remembers his father cutting the butchers hand....

So many great episodes / moments, but some of my favorites ( in no particular order ):

• Paulie and Chris lost in the woods. Hilarious.
• Paulie stealing the espresso maker, cause he's so pissed that these upscale coffee stores "stole" the Italian culture stuff. The look on his face was priceless.
• When Janice gets hit by Richie .... I saw the look on her face, and remembered thinking "...Richie's a dead man. She's gonna kill him". Other people have told me they were surprised when Janice got her gun and shot Richie. I KNEW she'd kill him, I just didn't know how.
• Trip to look at colleges with Meadow, ... and so it's not a totally wasted day, Tony gets lucky and is able to settle an old debt by killing a snitch. It's a beautiful thing.

These are just ones that popped into my head now. There are probably a dozen others that deserve a mention here.

1) I like during season 2 after Christopher gets back from the hospital. The guys are just sitting around in the back when suddenly there's an accident outside. Silvio and Furio go yell at the idiot for speedin gin the neighborhood (it's one of their guys). The FBI guy comes up and starts shooting the shit with Tony about the Nets. Paulie works on his tan. Just a great moment.

2) When Adrianna and Chris are at hte club with Matt and Sean. She starts giving him a hard time and he throws a look at her. SHe says something like "Don't worry, they'll still kiss your ass". They fight some more and she storms out. He yells "Yeah that's right, go make my dinner".

3) Any scene where Bacala says something stupid, but my favorite is when Junior realizes that Richie is not the one to overthrow Tony. He tells Bobby that and Bobby says "I'm in awe of you" but "awe" comes out as "aura".

There are too many to list. One which always springs to mind and the one which I find the funniest is when Paulie, aided by a frantic Christopher, strangles the Russian to "death".

Christopher: "What the fuck!?"

Paulie: "Must have cracked his wind-pipe. That's it for him."

Mick

For me the best scene is in the legend of tennesee moltisanti, when he pulled the gun on the pastry guy, and made him fill the box with canolli and napoleons. I just thought it was funny he got that mad over something so little, and then instead of his wallet or something he took food.

There's been so many but one of my favorite's is when Silvio executed Jimmy in such fashion. That Silvio is one cool cat!

Another which I remembered about last night in bed (when watching the episode) came in "Another Toothpick" when Paulie says to Jackie Jr., who is making an awful nuisance of himself: "Better yet, go to the ear nose and troat section and get your hearing checked!"
