Miller's Crossing has always been overlooked in my opinion as being one of the best gangster films of all time The scene in the woods with Byrne and Turturro is an absolute classic! It funny how they won the Oscar 16 years after making this film for No Country for old men, they'v...( read more)
I really chose the wrong state of mind to watch this in, as it needed plenty of concentration (something I was lacking in at that moment). It soon became relevant that I?d missed parts of the storyline which were relevant, yet really enjoyed the last half of this film. I hope t...( read more)
