"As far back as I could remember, I always wanted to be a gangster."



I tell ya, when I saw this for the first time, the way I felt about films changed. It was just so entertaining, I couldn't keep away from it.

Still one of my favorite movies.

Really great movie. One of the best. 

What can you do when a lady points a gun in your face?

D*mn fine movie. Its one of those that never gets old.

Yeah, Joe Pesci is like a grenade in this one. Small, but deadly.

The cast members, minus Pesci and Scorsese, reunited earlier this year.

The way I felt about EVERYTHING changed.  The way I looked at factory jobs vs. taking the easy way out especially.  Glad I never went down that path, but that movie had a big influence on me years ago.

As much as love this movie, I'm glad I never went down this path either. Too dark and dangerous.

The Lufthansa heist occurred on this day in 1978.

The largest heist during that time.
