They made Pacino an offer he should have refused.
“They kept pulling him back in.”
My selection are all adult movies very graphic and very intense..
All of the movies you chose i would let the kids watch except for Sniper,gotta look it up on netflix..;>)
Happy Thanksgiving...
My favorite movie ever. Seen it about 100 times, but here’s a question I’ve never been able to answer:
How did Don Corleone “know it Barzini all along” (that killed Sonny) after the big meeting where him and Tattaliga hugged it out and the truce allowing drugs to be sold was made?
Click. whir.
My assumption watching the movie was just that Don Vito simply had the instinct to know which was beyond what a normal person would figure out.
Now I understand your FReeper name.
I also want one or two of those lupuaro (sp) shotguns with slings so I could walk around town with them slung over my shoulder. Also with a bandoleer of shotgun shells.
They really look neat and deadly. I suspect that really is what a Sicilian bodyguard would use.
I’ve never seen that one, but I thought Sam Watterson might be a decent choice to play Nick Carraway.
Uh, I wasn’t sure you were around. (Status update: no cannoli for Thanksgiving)
I don’t think she screwed up any lines in the first movie.
Michael never wore a hat before killed those 2 in the restaurant. After that he always wore one while outside.
Paul Castellano was assassinated at Spark’s Steakhouse by John Gotti and his amigos.
Really? I would have guessed Casablanca.
"Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
What? I never believed she was really a baby.
‘I don’t think she screwed up any lines in the first movie.’
Actually she messed up a bunch of cues, but every time she goofed they inserted another killing. Fortunately, they ran out of flubs before they ran out of victims.
Because Barzini was using Tattaligia to try to run the Corleone’s out of New York. This became obvious during the meeting of the 5 heads when Barzini took over for Tattaligia in telling Don Vito what the terms of the agreement would be. In acquiescing to Barzini in the meeting, Tattaligia showed that he was just the foil being used to attempt to force the Corleone’s out.
It was very subtle and was something that I did not pick up on the first few times that I watched the movie.
At least they waited until he finished his meal!
Thanks Delta. That explanation makes sense. Another thing that always puzzled me was in Godfather II - why was Frankie Pentangeli still getting special treatment from the FBI after he didn’t rat out Mikey at the Senate hearing. Seems to me that after that happened, they’d let him rot in jail forever.
