What an awesome movie. Anyone agree?

Vinny Gambini: What about these pants I got on? You think they're okay?

Mona Lisa Vito: Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along. You get thirsty. You spot a little brook. You put your little deer lips down to the cool, clear water - BAM. A fuckin' bullet rips off part of your head. Your brains are lying on the ground in little bloody pieces. Now I ask ya, would you give a fuck what kind of pants the son-of-a-bitch who shot you was wearing?

So many great lines in this movie.

    It is a good movie.

    Joe Pesci in anything = win

    The film isn't great though. It's enjoyable but not great.

    Maybe, but it is one of those movies that makes me stop down when I am flipping channels and run across it.

    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    Wow I love this movie.

    "Mr. Gambini, your opening statement?'
    "yeah...everything that guy just said is bullshit.....thank you.'

    Yes!!!

    Mona Lisa Vito: The car that made these two, equal-length tire marks had positraction. You can't make those marks without positraction, which was not available on the '64 Buick Skylark!

    Vinny Gambini: And why not? What is positraction?

    Mona Lisa Vito: It's a limited slip differential which distributes power equally to both the right and left tires. The '64 Skylark had a regular differential, which, anyone who's been stuck in the mud in Alabama knows, you step on the gas, one tire spins, the other tire does nothing.

    Vinny Gambini: Is that it?

    Mona Lisa Vito: No, there's more! You see? When the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the '64 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn't happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the '60's, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the '64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.

    Vinny Gambini: And because both cars were made by GM, were both cars available in metallic mint green paint?

    Mona Lisa Vito: They were!

    Vinny Gambini: Thank you, Ms. Vito. No more questions. Thank you very, very much.
    [kissing her hands]
    Vinny Gambini: You've been a lovely, lovely witness.

    yeah, you are right; great movie.

    when I first saw it, years ago, I couldn't help but cheer Marisa Tomay on when she takes the stand. She plays such a oh, idk,........non intelligent character in the movie, but then bam!! she nails the case. good movie. I couldn't help but respond.
