Very true. The excesses hit you so hard the first time that it is difficult to see past it. On second viewing you see the director's perspective and uncover the meanings. For example, I could relate to the enthusiasm with which the mother runs to the super market only on second viewing.Quote:

John voight was pretty good as well. Strongly recommended 8-)
Assault on precinct 13.
A very gud action movie starring ethan hawke
Im searching for citizen kane for long!
any way of viewing it online?
in google video....sound not coming for the movie!
Thought I'd make it a De Niro weekend and revisited my favourites.
1. The Deer Hunter - De Niro's was the main character, but it was Christopher Walken who stole the show. Richly deserves the Oscar he won for the movie. And I am in love with Meryl Streep all over again.
2. Raging Bull - Only one word - powerful!!. Looking back, only De Niro could have done justice to the role. That man lives cinema. I don't say this often, but the ending leaves a lump in your throat.

A very intense movie on a rivalry between two magicians.. Must watch atleast twice.
Awakenings
I don't know if anyone had already mentioned about this movie in this thread. If it hasn't been I would be very surprised. One of the most under-rated movies, all time. Its about a doctor and a bunch of comatose patients (they are sleeping/senseless for about 30 years) and the awakenings encountered by them. Superb performances. De Niro deserved an oscar for this role and the movie deserved the best picture.(I haven't seen dances with wolves which apparently won that year). Robin williams was equally good as well. I am not a big fan of him but this is his best ever performance I guess. The last scene in which De Niro talks to his first ever girl friend was extremely moving. De Niro I thought was walking on a very thin line that separates acting and overacting and he did not cross the line even in one scene. Very depressive movie but strongly recommended :)
Dances With Wolves won over Goodfellas in that year in the academy awards...Quote:

Even raging bull was denied an oscar, so goodfellas, awakenings losing out to DWW is not very surprising :(
