Has anybody seen this mob movie? I just saw it last night on Netflix for the first time and I have to say it is very well done and quite good. It has won tons of awards and I read that the film often flies under the radar of most people because it came out around the same time as Goodfellas.

I highly recommend checking it out.

Actually, I watched it two years ago and was surprised that I liked it so much. Couldn't quite get used to Ben Kingsley as Meyer Lansky though.

What I always found funny is that it came out in the same year as Goodfellas, yet the movie seems much older.

I like the movie very much. At times I thought it was too "light hearted" but maybe that is what set it apart from others? Beatty & Bening were terrific.

Too many historical inaccuracies to list, but still a thoroughly enjoyable flick. I loved it.

"Bugsy" is one of those movies that gets better every time I see it. Beatty's masterpiece, though the rest of the cast, starting with Bening, is just as good. Production is superb. Yes, many inaccuracies but it's a damn good story.

Indeed. This was prolly one of the first movies about the mafia I remember seeing as a young kid. Either that or Mobsters.

Both are pretty inacurrate but overall entertaining.
