One of the very best gangster movies ever made--right up there with the original "Godfather," IMO. I lived in Queens, New York, for 29 years, and I recognized a lot of the sites they used in the movie. Brought back a lot of cool memories. My dad used to run with a pretty rough crowd, and he knew quite a few wiseguys. They used to come over to the house all the time and drink and play poker. I can tell you from direct experience that Scorcese's portrayal of these people was spot-on. It was almost eerie how accurate it was.
