Goodfellas

$11.99

When Academy Award winners Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro reunited on GOODFELLAS, the result was one of the most powerful crime movies ever. From the true-life bestseller by Nicholas Pileggi and backed by a dynamic pop/rock oldies soundtrack, GOODFELLAS was named 1990's best film by the New York, Los Angeles and National Society of Film Critics. DeNiro's RAGING BULL co-star Joe Pesci walked off with the Best Supporting Actor Oscar as a too-volatile tough guy, Ray Liotta, Lorraine Bracco, and Paul Sorvino give electrifying performances within an incredible ensemble. Named among the American Film Institute's Top-100 American Films, GOODFELLAS explores the hoodlum underworld like no other movie.

$9.99

Robert DeNiro and Billy Crystal team with Lisa Kudrow, Chaz Palminteri and director/co-writer Harold Ramis to make you a comedy offer you can't refuse in this laugh-out-loud mob hit. De Niro, deftly spoofing the wiseguy roles that have been a staple of his estimable career, plays powerful New York crime family racketeer Paul Vitti. Crystal, always one joke ahead of sleeping with the fishes, is shrink, Ben Sobel, who has just days to resolve Vitti's emotional crisis and turn into a happy, well-adjusted gangster. Yes, Sobel is a falmily pychiatrist.But surely this isn't the kind of family he had in mind.

The Untouchables

The critics and public agree. Brian DePalma's THE UNTOUCHABLES is a must-see masterpiece -- a glorious, fierce, larger-than-life depiction of the mob warlord who ruled the Prohibition-era Chicago and the law enforcer who vowed to bring him down. This classic confrontation between good and evil stars Kevin Costner as federal agent Eliot Ness, Robert De Niro as gangland kingpin Al Capone and Sean Connery as Malone, the cop who teaches Ness how to beat the mob: shoot fast and shoot first.

In what is undeniably one of the best sequels ever made, Francis Ford Coppola continues his epic Godfather trilogy with this saga of two generations of power within the Corleone family. Coppola, working once again with the author Mario Puzo, crafts two interwoven stories that work as both prequel and sequel to the original. One shows the humble Sicilian beginnings and New York rise of a young Don Vito, not played in an Oscar-winning performance for Best Supporting Actor by Robert De Niro. The other shows the ascent of Michael (Al Pacino) as the new Don. Reassembling many of the cast member who help make THE GODFATHER, Coppola has produced a movie of staggering magnitude and vision, the film received eleven Academy Awards nominations, winning six including Best Picture of 1974.
