DeNiro is stone dead to me. Stone dead. Won’t watch anything if I know he is in it.
One of my all time favorite movie scenes with Pacino (no, not Scarface...not really a fan of that much) was the tango scene from “Scent of A Woman”.
I think that is one of the best scenes from any movie...ever.
But we digress from the subject ar hand, The Great Santini, and the can of mushroom soup scene! Epic!
Re your story above about the hard-drinking officer neighbor of your childhood and his kids, the fight scene in Santini must have really resonated with you. It’s a miracle that family was able to heal.
