The Untouchables

That last entry just urged me to re-visit that famous scene at Union Station. I found this website which contains a shot-by-shot analysis of this amazing scene. At the bottom you will see a link entitled "shot-by-shot breakdown", and for those of you who haven't yet run out to the nearest Blockbuster to rent this classic (written by David Mamet, music by Ennio Morricone, directed by De Palma, with Sean Connery as he finds out that Andy Garcia's character calls himself "Stone", turns to him and in his inimitable brogue intones "Shtone ! Your name izhn't Shtone !"...could you even CONCEIVE of better entertainment value) you can follow that famous scene on the steps as it unfolds.

You'll excuse me if every once in a while I drop a little movie reference or mini-review in here. Before you know it there'll be a reference to "Blade Runner" or some other Ridley Scott flick on this blog.
