'The Untouchables' was released 25 years ago this week. Found this small 'where are they now' article.

Always thought De Niro played an amazing Al Capone, and always thought he should've gotten way more screen time. Hell, his own movie if you ask me.

Decent film, definitely De Niro should have got more screen time. I think Connery played a excellent part in this film.

I always thought a prequel starring De Niro's Capone would have made a terrific movie. Too late now... frown

That would've made a great movie Mark, De Niro nailed that part, he still had the energy at that point to really become the character. Today it pains me to see him in movies like 'Little Fockers', come on.

I loved that movie when I was younger, but now it is pretty corny. I still like it though.

This is one mob movie i couldn't get into, i've never understood why Connery got an oscar for this imo he was quite ridiculous in it.
