Here are my Top-10 memorable Mafia moments in films/TV shows, some scenes are from the same film, or franchise.
10 – Road to Perdition – A scene where Michael (Tom Hanks) takes out John Rooney (Paul Newman) and his henchmen.
9 – Goodfellas – “Funny How?” This is memorable because I can imagine being Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), I’d be pissing my pants!
8 – Sopranos – “Pine Barrens” – I enjoyed the whole episode. Pauly and Christopher visits a Russian friend, Pauly becomes mouthy, and somehow ends up in the snowy Pine Barrens, where they got lost and started turning on each other. This was a funny episode directed by Steve Buscemi, here’s the clip!
7 – Donnie Brasco – Donnie and his crew goes to a Japanese restaurant, and proceded to beat the tarp out of the host because Donnie refuses to remove his shoes. He was wearing a recorder under his socks.
6 – Casino – “Look, why take a chance?” A scene where the Boss’ makes the decision to get rid of certain people. Good editing, the shock-value for this scene was amazing, especially when it first came out.
5 – Godfather – A scene where Michael tries to get back with Kay, his old girlfriend. This scene was after he disappeared for a year, and came back. I like this scene because it shows how calm, assertive, and convincing Michael is, a trait of a good leader.
4 – Casino – The Boss’ has had enough of Nikki! Notice the rubber bats though 🙂
3 – Goodfellas – “Spider” gets shot by Tommy for talking back! “What, I’m a good shot!” It looks like Tommy (Joe Pesci) can dish it out, but can’t take it!
2 – Sopranos Finale – Many people hated the way the series ended, some say they felt cheated. I disagree, I think that this is one of the best TV show endings ever. I loved the editing, and the song in the background was just perfect! The best part was not knowing what happened next, my take is that Tony got whacked by the guy with the Members Only jacket (Joe Pesci look-alike). Remember the scene in The Godfather? Michael goes into the restroom, and comes out blazing.
1- Godfather II – Michael orders the hit of his regretful brother, Fredo. Michael had to do make a hard choice for his Family. A very emotional scene because i felt sorry for Fredo, but so did Michael.
