New York Stories, three stories happening in New York. The first, by Scorsese, is about a painter who creates his works helped by high volume music and an attractive assistant; second, by Coppola, is about a rich and bold 12 years old who helps her separated parents to reconciliate; third, by Allen, is a witty piece of comedy about the impossibility of getting rid of the son's role.
Allen's was hilarious, Scorsese's was interesting, Coppola's was unnecessary.

The Liquidator Rod Taylor & Jill St. John
Jill St John was one of the foxiest chicks in Hollywood from the mid 60's to the mid 70's & Rod Taylor was a pretty good actor.

Battle of the River Plate All star cast...how the British navy cornered the German battleship Admiral Graf Spey in Montevideo harbour, Uruguay, WW2.

I love oldies.

I just saw The Young Lions, starring Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, and Dean Martin. One of the best WWII movies I've ever seen.

(And right on Jill St. John... :cool: )

Mean Streets (1973), an early Martin Scorsese film starring Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro. Charlie (Keitel) is an Italian-American man who is trying to move up in the local mob and who is hampered by his feeling of responsibility towards his childish and destructive friend Johnny Boy (De Niro). Charlie works for his uncle (who is the local mob boss), mostly collecting debts. He is also having a hidden affair with Johnny Boy's cousin, Teresa, who has epilepsy and is ostracized because of her condition - especially by Charlie's uncle. A major figure in the plot is the conflict between Charlie's devout Catholicism and his Mafia ambitions. As the film progresses, Johnny becomes increasingly self-destructive and disrespects his creditors more and more. Unable to feel redeemed by his actions in church, Charlie finds redemption through self-sacrifice on Johnny's behalf, long after it ceases to be reasonable or deserved.
