YES

great choice, Adam. Another great scene is when he’s talkin to the crooked cop outside of the bar getting busted up.

Or the one where Eddie The Dane is walking with him in Miller’s Crossing looking for the body

Or…well hell there’s too many….

Great great movie

What's the rumpus?

I rented the VHS tape of Miller’s Crossing [had heard good things about it] and took it home and popped it in. When it was over, I didn’t budge. I rewound the tape and watched it from beginning to end again. Great flic.

So if someone has never seen it, I'll assume it's highly recommended?

Not my favorite Coen stuff...

But still very good.

I'd say so...

The only knock I’ve heard is that you DO have to get past the stereotypical gangster lingo, but I think that’s part of the film’s appeal personally.

Agreed

And the plot twists are sometimes hard to get your head around. Can’t watch it half-assed or fully drunk.

Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

Yep

It was one of those movies I had to watch again to really get what all happened.

Same

First time I thought “cool movie. What just happened?” Second time, after knowing how it ends, made it easier to follow.

Millers Crossing

Surprisingly I’ve still never seen this movie. I should get netflix again just for the convenience of throwing stuff onto my list as it crosses my mind
