The veal is good as well as the sauce/gravy. We always buy a jar to take home

I have friends who were thinking about starting an Italian restaurant (they got smart and didn't do it). I told them what would be fun is to put one or more of those drop tank toilets in the mens bathroom and to permanently afix a fake gun (with taped up handle) behind the tank of one of them. They would need to permanently attach the fake gun, so that the user couldn't remove it. It would be interesting to see how soon the word got out and how many men would be visiting the restroom for the purpose of seeing it.

I think all of mine have already been listed:
-Goodfellas awesome classic
-Casino awesome classic
-Scareface awesome classic
-Godfather(s) awesome classics
-Carlito's Way was good
-A Bronx Tale was good
-Road to perdition was a great movie I would not have listed it as a mob movie until reading it on this thread I guess since he is stealing Capone's money the whole time it qualifies.
-Donny Brasco was good.
-Pulp fictionis an awesome movie but not really a mob movie IMHO
-Departed is awesome based on Whitey

Shows not movies:
-Sopranos was a great series along with Brotherhood. Sons of Anarchy is about Bikers but also a great series.

No mention of "the Untouchables"?

Sean Connery's one liner by itself makes it a great flick.
"Isn't that just like a wop? Brings a knife to a gun fight !"

This exchange of heritage slurs in the movie always makes me crack up...

Jack Woltz: Johnny Fontane will never get that movie! I don't care how many dago guinea wop greaseball goombahs come out of the woodwork!

Tom Hagen: I'm German-Irish.

Jack Woltz: Well, let me tell you something, my kraut-mick friend...

Did you ever see the outtakes (which they included in the Godfather saga)?

As Tom Hagen was leaving he looked up at the top of the stair case and there was the young startlet that Jack Woltz was grooming to be a big time actress. She was crying and the mother gave Tom a glance to see if he caught on to what was going on and then escorted the daughter away. I think it was implying that Mr. Woltz was having sex with the young woman. The next morning is when the prized horse head was in his bed. That scene of him waking up is still a classic.
