    STAR WARS: EPISODE V - THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
    My old man grew up in Manhattan and had lots of stories as a full blooded Italian with his parents fresh off of the boat (well, they came off the boat as children, so they were aligned with the timing shown in GF).  They were not involved but it was all around and a very real thing.  As Dankind shares, shit still is real.

    This one is going to be VERY close
    I'm shocked it is.  I thought for sure we had more fanboys than this...
    I can't believe we have such a high percentage of people who prefer a movie like ESB over a film like GFII.  
    I do love star wars and I am a fantasy nerd, but the real world is still more interesting to me.  :lol:.   
    That is NOT the real world, lol.  Even when it was really going on it wasn't THAT bad.

    It is not populated by aliens and robots, with people who control shit with their minds, dude, c'mon.  :)   You know what I am saying.

    Ya think I was saying that Light Sabers are real?

    Cmon.  You know what I meant, lol...

    I didn't move away from Brooklyn too long ago, and the shit was still going strong when I left.

    Hell, one of the only reasons I thought it would be a good idea to leave is that I didn't want my kids getting involved with their kids. I always gave a wide berth to the well suited and gold ringed and track suited and gold chained. And when I couldn't -- usually because we were both at the bakery/butcher/whathaveyou at the same time (only one of us paying for our goods, of course; I imagine the goons were there to collect "rent") -- I always made sure that my daughter smiled at the "nice man" (i.e., ruthless killer) if one noticed her in her stroller.

    Yeah, the whole hush hush Lucali pizzaiolo attempted murder went down when I was there. These fucking scum are still out there in great numbers, and they're still above the law.

    And the gruesome stories of violence and gore from the old timers are much worse than anything that Hollywood has even imagined. Human beings processed through meat grinders, cased into sausages, and sent to their families. Hearts cut out and nailed to front doors. Just fucking scum!
    I'm shocked that they still got away with that.  Everyone I know that was involved said everything changed.  It's all about business' and companies now to syphon money.  Lottery tickets, padded accounts, cash business'.  All relatively small time things.

    Gone are the days of cutting someone up.  That is what MS13 does now.

    Friend I went to school with, her grandfather spoke better English than his brother.  When asking for their name at the docks it helped one of them out.  So one had the last name of Mela and the other Apple.

    I'm curious if these were more stories than anything?  The gangsters of that time never wanted to be known and were quite well behaved.  They didn't want attention drawn to them.  My Grandfather was a bartender during the era and had a many a story too.  Quiet was how he described the mob men that would come in his bar.  The flamboyance of Gotti was something I remember the other crime families having a problem with.

    What they did among the crime world was a given.  I always had a problem w what they did to the average Joe.

    No, he had things he was involved in/around but nothing like what happened in that movie, himself...just people that did shit like that.  My pop was long gone by the time Gotti was a boss and doing all of those things.  It was more that he knew people growing up who were all in that and became part of that for real when they were young men.

    This final ended up being between my favorite (ESB) vs. what I consider the best (GF II). Different metrics and not simply semantics.
