Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Heard Vigo talk about how he left his Russian tattoos on after a day of shooting and he scared some people at a bar when they saw his hands and stuff. Long as I remember The rain been coming down. Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun; And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

Out of all these films mentioned, City of God is probably the best, in my opinion, but I'm not sure that I would classify it as a gangster film? Hopefully Public Enemies will be good enough to put itself amongst these films soon! Last edited by the angel of justice; 03/13/09 07:28 PM. "Neri, take a train to Rome.

I've not heard of this until now, thanks for the suggestion Capo. I'm adding it to NetFlix. I know the topic is greatest "film", but maybe the telvision series The Wire should be in this discussion? As far as The Departed. I know I'll step on some toes here, but I thought it was horrible. I love what Scorsese has done with his career, but The Departed and Gangs of New York make me think he has lost his touch and now falls into the typical Hollywood garbage genre. EDIT: Just saw it's not on DVD yet, but I saved it and will watch it when it's available. Last edited by Blibbleblabble; 03/16/09 12:05 AM.
