The Travolta movie was a bomb; the Godfather remains the gold standard for me, followed by the Sopranos for it's realism.

I was living in a new development near Richmond Ave when Gotti whacked a member of the Irish Westies. That was his beginning.

The Westies are so small in number but INSANE!!

“State of Grace”, loosely based on the Westies, was a VERY GOOD movie.

Came out the same year as Goodfellas. Bad break

Gary Oldman was great.

Gottia whacked a Westie?

I was born in ‘68 so am not familiar with the 70s to mid 80s goings on.

I read that the FBI went to Castellano and asked him to stop giving the green light to the westies to murder because they were going nuts with it!
