Once Upon a Time in America was a true film classic. The story, the acting and the music made it a film that really stayed with me.

After that it has to be Godfather 2 and Goodfellas.

Swales, when my late mother was a young un in the 30's Cagney was her film idol. She wrote a letter to him and it was addressed 'James Cagney,hollywood, california, usa' Several weeks later she got a reply from him with a signed picture of him and his dog. Though the dog didn't sign it! She thought the sun shone out of his and Pat O'briens jacksy.

Angels with Dirty Faces. New jack City . Donnie Brascoe . Public Enemy no.1. once upon a time in America . Lucky No. Slevin, was different.

Once upon a time in America.

The final scene when the man himself Bobby de Niro takes a drag from an opium pipe and just forgets everything. Just hears the phone ringing for a few more seconds.
