on Oct 31 2007 10:37 PM In reply to this comment (#1238010) There are so many great French gangster flicks. Check out Rififi, which rules, and then try The Red Circle, which is also awesome. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 04 2007 11:26 AM To the authors of this article: you need to double-check your research. Two of the lines you attribute to "Public Enemy" ("What will YOU do about it?" and "I can't hear you, can you speak-a up?") come from the 1932 version of "Scarface." (For the record, there are no machine guns in "Public Enemy," or "Little Caesar" either. The first major gangster film to feature machine guns was "Scarface.") (Reply to this) |
