With an unreasonable interest in the 80's generally i found this movie interesting before its storyline began to sink in..
One of the best movies I've seen, Scoresese made a conscious effort to balance violence and comedy all in a movie, Joe pesci was at his peak, Sharon couldn't have been more eccentric and Robert, you know Robert would always be Robert, he embodied the charcater so well that the feds could try to hunt him down after seeing the movie.
The Animals by House of Rising son. Get a copy of this song, if you have seen the movie then you will thank me later..
Overall, its a great piece captivating, hilarious, violent and most importantly thought provoking with a message embedded in the afore listed!
