I'm sort of surprised this film isn't mentioned in any previous posts. I remember when it came out in three different lengths and versions which caused uproar and confusion. I've seen two of them and they are vastly different from each other. The film was originally nearly 3hrs. long production values and cast are excellent.

There's a really long cut of this that came out on dvd in Italy. Think it was like 4 hrs+ or something.

Excellent movie! Great cast. Robert DeNiro, James Woods, Joe Pesci, Jennifer Connelly, Danny Aiello, Burt Young... A dream team of actors.




Here´s one of my many favorite scenes.

Definitely one of the most underrated movies of all time. Also, Mean Streets (Scorsese's first masterpiece) was incredible as well.

Great film with great soundtrack, just a pity Pesci is not in it more..

Its a great film but man o man is it long. I can't sit through a 4 hour movie, 3 is the limit. I did happen to watch it all the way through and its a classic.
