Now Im not advocating the gangster lifestyle( especially with vivid recolections of the end of Casino and Joe Pesci's intimate knowledge of a baseball bat), Im wondering about the PRE-violent endings. Hey........its good to wonder about something besides zombies. |

Hollywood makes organized crime look like fun, I have a problem with that. I'm sure not all of them have violent endings and not all of them end up rich either. I think Goodfellas is a decent depiction overall in that era of organized crime. |

Let's see.........Tony had it awful rough for the first 26 years or so. The next two damn near got him killed constantly. And his life was falling apart almost as soon as he got situated.
Go Corleone/Andolini. Not Sonny, not Fredo. Tom Hagen. Smart, strong, vital to and a member of the family. |

And "Whitey" Bulger is currently the reigning hide & seek champion in real life.
When a lower level mob goon is dragged in by the feds, they spill their guts about burying dead bodies in the berms at ... crap, forgot which gun club and I don't want to say the wrong one. Let's just say their berms get moved around every month. |

Honorable mention:
Edward G Robinson From Little Caesar:  He could have given Cagney a run for the money. |

My great aunt was picked up by Al Capone once. She said he wasn't all that special.
As far as Hollyweird gangstas, I would be Frank Sinatra and have fun with the Rat Pack. CW |

Now there's a pair of actors that were actors. They definitely don't make them like that anymore. And I nominate as the 3rd best. Richard Widmark - How can you forget the scene in Kiss of Death where he pushes the little old lady in the wheelchair down the stairs and giggles while doing it |

Tony Montana was the toughest. "I TAKE YOUR FUCKIN' BULLETTS!!!!!!!"
Michael Corleone was the smartest.... Jules "Bad Motherfucker" Winfield was also one of the best.... ...but everyone knows that the greatest of all was Keyser Soze. |

Nicky Santoro
"There's alot of holes in the desert, and there's alot of problems burried in those holes. But you gotta do it right see, you gotta have the hole already dug before you go out there with a package in the trunk or else you're talkin about a half hour of diggin and who knows who could come along in that time. Next thing you know you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fuckin' night!" |
