Film: Donnie Brasco (1997)

DVD: Anamorphic
Donnie Brasco (Special Edition)

"'Forget about it' is like if you agree with someone, you know, like Raquel Welch is one great piece of ass, 'forget about it'. But then, if you disagree, like a Lincoln is better than a Cadillac? 'Forget about it!' you know? But then, it's also like if something's the greatest thing in the world, like mingia those peppers, 'forget about it'. But it's also like saying, "Go to hell!" too. Like, you know, like "Hey Paulie, you got a one inch pecker?" and Paulie says "Forget about it!" Sometimes it just means 'forget about it'."

Review: This is one of my favorite Al Pacino movies and he plays totally against type as the sad-sack mobster who's only redeeming feature is the father-son relationship he builds wih Johnny Depp's character. Depp is also great as the cop who goes so deep undercover that he starts to lose is real identity.

"And listen to me, if Donnie calls... , tell him... if it was gonna be anyone, I'm glad it was him. All right?"

4 out of 4 Stars
