Steven "Stevie Wonder" Crea - The Lucchese Family

    Classic NYC gangster movies, all. But my favorite is no doubt King of New York. Happy Mute Monday!

    God help me, but I love Mobsters. Real and in Film.

    There is no one better at it then DeNiro.

    Happy MM!

    Christopher Walken is one of the most under-rated actors of our time and I think King of New York is his best film. I read that in the subway scene (the pic that I'm showing here) the woman playing the hostage was not an actress and Walken said to her, "I'm going to do something awful to you, but I will not hurt you." How cool is that?

    That pic is from Goodfellas, the 2nd greatest mafia movie ever made next to the Godfather.

    C.Walken can also DANCE (Pennies From Heaven) and he's one of my all time favorites. I was glad to see him included. Godfather I & II - great... III? Not so good.

    Great theme for MM! Love Ray Liotta, however, that Christopher Walken pic is a scream. Of course, I can't see him without thinking that ... that ... "I need more COWBELL"!!!! Happy MM
