I did not like once upon a time in America. All it was to me was a series of scenes not a free flowing story.

Sounds to me that you may have watched the shorter edited version.....which is extremely confusing.

The uncut version is the one that you should watch. Flows a lot better and makes much more sense.

Personally one of my favorite mob movies.

Yeah, are you sure you didn't watch the American released 2 hour one? I heard that was terrible and convoluted and left a bad taste about the movie in many people's mouths. The full version is nearly 4 hours and is the quintessential crime epic in my opinion. The Godfather is a masterpiece and an utterly stunning movie, but I feel Once Upon a Time has a much larger scope and it just feels greater than The Godfather, yet I probably still like The Godfather better.

The one I saw was in a movie house and I don't remember it being anywhere near 4 hours long.

I will try and get the longer version. But I can't see myself sitting down and watching the whole thing. It has to be great for me to Watch for that long.

I got that western from the 1950s that had a vampire in it. I probably never watch it. I just like to know I have it.

Three hours and 50 minutes long just bought it on amazon instant video. Brother now I just got to watch in the middle of the night seems like a good time

They're actually trying to reconstruct some old film and put together a 270 minute version I believe.

GOODFELLAS
BRONX TALE
KEY LARGO
PULIC ENEMY
FORT APACHE BRONX

In no particular order:

A Bronx Tale
The Godfather Trilogy
The Departed
Goodfellas
Mean Streets
Casino
Gotti ( Assante's performance makes it great.)
The Pope Of Greenwich Village
Across 110th Street
What Doesn't Kill You ( A gritty and realistic film on everyday criminal life.

Don't say the good father trilogy. I'd you do the third fucks up the whole.

Better say Godfather 1 and 2.

Across 110 street pissed me off because Tony Franciosa died in it. The music in that movie was real bad.

I moved out of Harlem in 1969 but I was there every day for a round three years after that.

Would you call the black guys who helped Franciosa associates?

I bet you I know where the guy got the machine gun. In long island a guy owned a house that had a tree growing in his living room. He had a false wall that opened up he had an arsenal in that place. Everything including machine guns.

1. Once Upon a Time in America (the greatest movie I've seen, not my favorite)

2. Goodfellas (my favorite movie)

3. The Departed
