Add The Shawshank Redemption- the feel good movie of all time.

“Sure, mom, I settle down with a nice girl every night, then I’m free the next morning.”

“Whenever we needed money, we’d rob the airport. To us, it was better than Citibank”

“Paulie may have moved slow, but it was only because Paulie didn’t have to move for anybody.”

Those old union delegates are really taking Wisconsin hard...

FUNNY!

I like this picture. One dog is looking one way, while the other dog is looking the other way. And the guy is thinking what do you want from me.

[Williams]

Sounded like an ok guy in his reformd years a long time after going into witness protection.

agree with you totally, his drug dealing alone was evil.

[Despot of the Delta]

Business bad? F@#k you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? F@#k you, pay me. Place got hit by lightning, huh? F@#k you, pay me.

“Those people who took a subway to work every day just to pay bills were dead...they had no b@ll$...if we wanted something we just took it.”

[Lazlo in PA]

Ray Liotta and Henry Hill.

I remember Hill used to go on Howard Stern decades ago and was always a mess. Drunk, on drugs or both, but he had great stories from the life.

It’s all egg noodles and ketchup in hell.

At this one Al’s Beef (italian beef sandwich shop) in Chicago, they have a picture on the wall of a bunch of kids from Little Italy in the 40’s/50’s and a plaque underneath with their nicknames, like “Shifty”, “Dirty Augie”, etc.

This makes me feel old. It was only about 20 years ago that the Henry Hill movie came out and he did not look that old in the movie. My favorite scene in that movie was the Billy Batts scene when the guy out of prison (Billy Batts) end up getting killed over a shoeshine joke. Then they stuff him in a trunk (still half-alive) and get fed Italian food in the middle of the night by one of the killers' mother (the short, loudmouth one). The mother asks "how come the blood all over the clothes" and she was told that they "hit a deer" on the way over there.

I wonder if Henry Hill was in any of the other gangster movies. I don't remember ever seeing him again.

I know two of the guys who appeared as extras in that scene. One owns a restaurant on Mulberry Street, in New York's Little Italy.

[raccoonradio]

The short gangster was Tommy, played by Joe Pesci—and his mom was played by Scorcese’s mom.

[raccoonradio]

Mad TV did a great spoof, Raging Rudolph...spoof of Rudolph Red Nosed reindeer & Scorcese films. “You’ll never be in Santa’s gang, never be in Santa’s gang...And the moral of the story is keep your f——— mouth shut.”

“He sounded like an ok guy when I heard him on Howard Stern years ago.”
