Guest HBK16 Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 I just finished the movie. I ihear of it but never thought of seeing it. Me and my friends were out and it came up. They all thought it was great so I went out and bought it a few hours ago. I watched it and thought it was a great movie. I have a thing for gangster movies but that one was one of the best ones.
Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 I live a few blocks away from where they filmed it. Every time I pass the church (I forget the name right now) my dad says "Thats where they filmed Bronx Tale." Yep, and my acting coach was an extra in it. He likes to brag about it. Loser.
Guest ShamRock Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 I watched this movie a couple of weeks back. I liked it. The only problem I had it with it was how they didn't focus that much on De Niro and the Sonny character, but the rest was good.
Guest Dangerous A Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 I had this movie ruined for me. I had it recommended to me by several friends saying it was "on par" with Goodfellas and the Godfather. It's no where near those movies. It's a good movie, but not great. I had my expectation radar up real high though.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 Wasn't as good as I'd hoped it would be. Seemed a little cheesy at times.
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted July 6, 2003 Report Posted July 6, 2003 I thought it was OK -- my better half bought the DVD. I use the lesson taught in this film and apply it to my life (about the guy who owes the character money and flees from him all the time -- the gangster then tells the main character that for $10 he rid himself of that pest)...
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Posted July 6, 2003 Report Posted July 6, 2003 Robert DeNiro isn't gonna pay your rent.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted July 6, 2003 Report Posted July 6, 2003 One of my favorite movies. Very underrated IMO but it's no Godfather or Goodfellas(obviously).
Guest What? Posted July 6, 2003 Report Posted July 6, 2003 I prefer Mean Streets, but Bronx Tale is still a rather geat flick. and speaking of De Niro, which film would you say is better? Raging Bull or Cape Fear?
Guest The Old Me Posted July 6, 2003 Report Posted July 6, 2003 I though the movie was pretty good. And Deniro in Cape Fear is pretty damn gold.
Guest ShamRock Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 What about between Taxi Driver and Deer Hunter? I would go with Taxi Driver.
Guest What? Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 Taxi Driver is one of - if not the SINGLE - best movies I have ever seen. De Niro is everyone's god. Deer Hunter, I felt, was too slow in the beginning, but then it picked up. The first hour was just them tooling about town and preparing for the wedding. That just didn't get me all interested.
Guest Ripper Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 At sometime in my life, I will recreate that "Now you can't leave..." scene. I don't know where, I don't know when...but I will.
Guest ant_7000 Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 It was a good movie. I even took De Niro's character advice when he told that kid about open a car door for ladies, and how you can tell how a girl is if she in that suitation.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 At sometime in my life, I will recreate that "Now you can't leave..." scene. I don't know where, I don't know when...but I will. I love how Palminteri delivers that line: "I show you respect, I give you a chance to leave and this is how you repay me? .... Now, you can't leave"

I love how Palminteri delivers that line: "I show you respect, I give you a chance to leave and this is how you repay me? .... Now, you can't leave" I'm telling ya, it might be in a McDonalds and a bunch of little pricks will be making asses of themselves. It might be Olive Garden and some table just won't shut the hell up. It might be Benigans and Butters is going crazy over the burgers. But one day...one day...

Ripper: Dang, nabat, I don't want no Sponge Bob! I WANT MATLOCK! Leave! Nurse: here we go Mr. Ripper, the sponge train is choo-choo-choosing you! Ripper:"I show you respect, I *COUH* give you a chance to leave and this is how you repay me? .... Now, you can't leave" [Ripper brings out wiffle bat, as camera goes stage left. You hear coughing and a woman scream as we fade to black]
