Mine would have to be the scene where Tommy stabs Billy Batts in the trunk. The sound the knife makes when it enters Billy's side just makes me cringe whenever I see (or should I say "hear") it.
Anyone else??

I've noticed you lately, you're moving on up! WoW! that pictrue is amazing. The most violent gorey mid-death STILL a movie I've ever seen. I'm nott alking after they're lying on the ground, coverd in blood. You can actually see the blod a sit squirts out of his head! AMazing!

Yeah, Rusty's definately moving up on these boards. He may be the next Turnbull. The only problem with Rusty is his nickname, "Rusty". He's gotta dump it. It sounds so...ugh. It's not classy at all. If I were him I'd ask J Geoff to dump that name ASAP.

The sobriquet of "Rusty" was blessed upon me by close relatives, due to some old-fashioned mannerisms I've retained. I'm aghast that you, a well-experienced 13-year old, disapprove of my moniker. I really should take a long hiatus from work, and give my life some introspection, just to see if I made any more erroneous manoeuvers on this board. It sounds so...ugh. It's not classy at all. If I were him I'd ask J Geoff to dump that name ASAP. Ah, the indelicacies of youth judgement. Tell me, is your rhetoric founded on some ulterior aforethought or just a lapse of courtesy? Either of the previous is acceptable, all is forgiven. *patpat*[/b][/quote]The only thing that comes to mind after this is... I'm a little tea pot short and stout!

The Tommy hit looks so fake. The blood gushing seems to be painted over the screen. For such a great film, they could have used better special effects.

Goodfellas was flawed!
