Certainly <i>Mean Streets, Dog Day Afternoon </i> and <i>Network</i> would on that list. Plus some Buster Keaton, to lighten things up a bit.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-79512177375539674982006-11-13T00:58:00.000-05:002006-11-13T00:58:00.000-05:00Hate to pile on, mi amigo, but no Mean Streets?

The temptation for me to lie was very, very powerful. "Nashville ... undeniable classic. Alice ... incredible experience." No, the simple truth is the older I get the less inclined I am toward "edgy" movies. I know I *should* see <i>Mean Streets</i>, but if it's Friday night and the kids are finally asleep, and I'm facing a choice between convincing my wife this is a good thing, or taking the route of least resistance and watching the latest Will Farrell movie, well ... maybe when the girls are in their teens and have developed their own taste for edgy, we'll all sit down and I'll get the chance to catch up on Scorsese's classic.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-30661112830815691732006-11-11T01:55:00.000-05:002006-11-11T01:55:00.000-05:00How'd you miss Mean Streets?
