ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA (1984)
A nearly four-hour period gangster movie that represented the culmination of director Sergio Leone’s career. It is also a super weird movie.

THE GODFATHER PART II (1974)
This all-encompassing sequel involves at least two separate movies that never quite meet.

Francis Ford Coppola’s mafia epic is now fixed in American culture.
GOODFELLAS (1990)
Scorsese’s most cutting exploration of the gangster lifestyle. I like the movie. The lifestyle’s not for me.
