Image With this, his magnum opus, Leone crafted a sprawling yet intimate portrait of friendship, betrayal and the corrosion of the American dream that is unparalleled in the gangster canon.

A column, a giant in the film industry, which had won two Oscars, one for his career in 2006 and…More
This is the longest films I have ever watched at 4 hours and 11 minutes long, taking the number 1 spot from Watchmen director's cut which is 3 hours and 35 minutes long. Sadly, this De Niro's little known movie from the 80s falls short of my expectations. As every gangster film lover will know, De Niro has an excellent record when it comes to participating in great gangster movies throughout the years. So I was pret…More
