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.

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.
Right?
No one has any comments?
She does these days.
Exactly, Fredo likely wouldn't have turned traitor if either Vito or Sonny was the Don, because he wouldn't have felt "stepped over."
But let's assume, <b>for the sake of argument</b>, that Fredo betrayed Sonny anyway.
How would Sonny have handled it?
My mistake.
But yes, his character in Philadelphia was Oscar bait too.
Gay guy dying of AIDS.
Would you expect liberal Hollywood to not award such a portrayal?
That's because Forrest Gump was an "Oscar bait" role.
Hell yes.
That movie came out long *before* he died. It was during the run of Sopranos, no less!
I've always though that he would have been a much better fit for the Frank Sheeran role in The Irishman than De Niro was.
I also think he would have been really good as the ship captain in the miniseries The North Water, provided he could do a British accent, of course.
I can also picture him as Dick Cheney in Vice(and yes, I am fully aware of the humor there, what with Tony Soprano commenting on how he'd vote for Cheney as president of the whole universe) and as Tom Sizemore's character in the Mark Felt movie with Liam Neeson.
<blockquote>Mario Puzo’s The Wokefather.
Flashback to the ending of Godfather III. Michael has a nervous breakdown and is no longer able to serve as the head of the family.
Flash forward to the all too familiar scene of the various figures pledging their loyalty to the new godfather. However, we cannot tell who the replacement is at first due to some convenient camerawork. Only after every familiar face has pledged loyalty do we get a glimpse. It is Connie (a de-aged Talia Shire) looking exceptionally smug. The camera lingers on her, as if rubbing it in to the shocked viewer, until finally she speaks. “My turn,” she defiantly states.
End of scene.</blockquote>That's probably the only way the movie would get made!
Incidentally, both Martin Campbell and the cinematographer, Phil Meheux, did GoldenEye together.
