How could you forget Goodfellas and Tombstone????

Thanks. In my haste to post, I did neglect to mention Goodfellas, which is in my own personal library for the obvious reason that it is the greatest gangster movie ever made. I exclude the "Godfather" movies from that genre because they are not merely mobster movies but fictional historical dramas, and works of artistic genius besides.

In an unguarded moment or two, and perhaps with the assistance of ethanol-based libation, I might tell you of my personal experiences with real characters who drifted through my life back when I lived in New York. They were rather well "connected", if you get my drift.

You also mentioned Tombstone which I've only seen once. Pretty good flick as well. I was considering The Quick and the Dead, starring Sharon Stone, but only because I thought she was hotter than a magnesium flare.
