I have always heard about this film being one of the best ever made. Now I can see why. There was just so much going on. There is so much substance. I think I understood everything, but I really want to see it again to take it all in with more clarity.

Yeah I should watch it again just to get a refresher. I have yet to see the second, though I hear it's the best sequel to a movie ever.

Just the first one? What about 2? Whenever I hear my friends say "yeah, I've never seen that before", it takes me a good minute to register what they're just said. and then I slap them.

it just captures such a complete range of human behavior that the viewer can identify with every character in the movie. it really is terrific.

Pacino and De Niro in their primes in the same movie? Best sequel ever indeed.

I liked it but I wasn't blown away by it like I was with Goodfellas.

How old are you?

GF is one of those movies you can watch over and over again.

I just watched it for the first time back a few monthes ago when they were playing it on a&e or some channel. I thought it was very good. Watched the second one the next week and it was just as good.

You need to find yourself some coupons and go on a renting spree. ;)

I will after I finish the last 3 seasons of The Sopranos. Then it's on to 24. Finally I'll watch GF.

I will NEVER watch Family Guy.

/me hears pitchforks rustling in the background :eek:

Don't expect too much from season 6 of the Sopranos.
