"A Bronx Tale" is undoubtedly one of the best "mob" movies ever made. I relate to it very closely (being almost the same age as "C" (10 years old in 1961, when Mickey Mantle cried after Bill Mazeroski's Series' winning home run). The scenes of the basement crap games, and the wiseguys hanging out on the street reminded me vividly of my Dad's pals, and some of it (the firebombing scene) was filmed in my neighborhood.

Aside from the personal "tie" it is simply one hell of a great movie (semi-autobiographical for Palminteri).

If you haven't seen it, it's a MUST see!!
