Fine movie, hoisted by great performances, starting with Pacino and Cazale, as well as the great Charles Durning. Tons of dark humor, too. Real New York stuff. But, as Tony noted, a Godfather it ain't.

The same thing happened when I bought "Leon" (titled "The Professional" in the US). :rolleyes:  I know the same thing happens to me. THough it's usually i'll RENT movies, and they'll be on 2 days later. I asked my library if they had the Godfather Novel, they said no. I went out an dbought the novel, next day, i go to library to pick up Gf3, they RECOMMEND i read the book, and hand me the hardcover The Godfather fom 1969. I thoguht "you bastards, i was here yesterday, and you'd never ehard of it, and now i find out you had it for 30 years!"  But the paperback 30th addition is awesome, and it was only 7.99, so it's all good. Leon, or "The Professional" whatever its referred to is an awesome movie.

Anybody see the trailor of John Q (Denzel W., Ed Woods, etc) and Swordfish (John T., Halle B). It really looks familiar huh, hehehe.  John Q., looks awesome.[/b][/quote]Its a sweet ass movie i seen it with my friends.

Good for you. Hope you enjoy the ending  I like the beginning and the part where he knew about the banks trick to call cops (a device used).

"Dog Day Afternoon" is indeed based on a real life incident. On August 22, 1972, John Wojtowicz ("Sonny Wortzig" in the movie)) held up a Bay Ridge, Brooklyn branch of the Chase Manhattan bank in order to get money for his lover's sex change operation. Part of the hoopla surrounding the robbery and hostage-taking was carried live on TV. My understanding is that he's out of jail and is now living on welfare in Brooklyn with his mother. Wow great info. Thanks for the update. Makes you realize how accurate the film portrayed the incident.
