| | One of the best comedies I've ever seen. | anonymous 06/18/2007 | | This movie stars a great variety of comedians. The diversity of personalities and their comic styles makes it possible for me to watch it over and over again. My VHS is wearing out. How I wish it was on DVD. The comedy is always in good taste, focasing on the lives of loosers just trying to get the most out of life. |

Genre: Action
Director: Sergio Leone
Cast: Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Burt Young, James Woods, Elizabeth McGovern, Treat Williams, Tuesday Weld, Danny Aiello, William Forsythe, Richard Bright
Mid-1900s' Jewish gangsters in New York City is the theme of this movie, which, after a confusing beginning, becomes an effective vehicle for Robert De Niro. The plot finally takes off when a briefcase filled with money is found, and the real story begins. This is the "full" version, which is significantly better than the one originally released which had been chopped to a point that it often didn't make sense. 1 User Review

The week-long unveiling of Paris designs is an "event" captured by this film. If you like fashion excess and shallow (but good-looking) people hopping into bed, this is the film for you. Actually, when subplots are deleted, this film is, in itself, one big satire on the fashion industry.
