I'm bloody well looking forward to this!! This actually looks interesting How would Sonny have handled Fredo's betrayel? What if Daniel Stern played Billy Batts? Him and Joe Mantegna and Joey Pants Looks a bit like Ron Silver in his profile picture The Hard Goodbye story = Home Alone Highly looking forward to this! If I love The Sopranos--and I do--should I check out Nurse Jackie? Buffalo Bill and Capt. Byron Hadley getting schooled by a wad of green slime View all posts >

Right?! Drooch, I completely agree with your feelings about this film 100%. It's actually one of the few movies that I would NOT mind seeing a remake of, because I strongly feel that it could have, and should have, been done better. To your point about Levinson seemingly trying to emulate Scorsese's style on Goodfellas, Sleepers was shot by cinematographer Michael Ballhaus and the assistant director was Joe Reidy, both of whom worked on Goodfellas. I can't help but wonder if Levinson hired them for that reason specifically and said "I want you guys to do what you did on Goodfellas in terms of the style." Can you imagine Alan running into Sheldon?! They bought the house because it was for sale. Did you miss the scene with Alice wearing a blonde wig and doing a Southern accent saying "my boys are going to love it here"? <blockquote>Maher helped create the Frankenstein far left. </blockquote>In what way? I actually think he looks like the director Sam Mendes in his profile pic! I'd love to see him do a period nautically-themed movie a la Master and Commander. Scorsese is planning to adapt David Grann's(Killers of the Flower Moon) book on the HMS Wager and as wildly curious as I am to see Marty tackle such a subject and genre, I can't help but wonder if Nolan might be a better fit. I also think it would be interesting to see him do a mob movie. Maybe a biopic about Roy DeMeo, which would combine the genres of mob, biopic, thriller, *and* horror story. Classic Scorsese territory but I would genuinely love to see Nolan dip his toes into those waters. I would also like to see him do a prison movie. In what way? And what does this have to do with Kate Middleton? Wouldn't that make Forrest Gump the better movie? Isn't a film's rewatchability integral to how well made it is? I'm glad I entertained you. I actually posted this very same post here twenty years ago during the IMDb days when this flick first came out. One person said "I never would have thought of those in a million years!" Another said "Dude, you have WAY too much time on your hands." Yet another person said something about Joe Pesci playing Home Alone Marv's co-burglar. Can't remember the other responses.
