Bronx Tale

This was one of those "What the heck, I might as well" movies off of Netflix. They recommneded it, and because at the time there were only about 200 DVDs on the list, I bit. It's very, very good. It's not going to replace the Godfather, but I thought the quality of this movie was amazing given I'd never heard of it. Robert DeNiro plays an Italian bus driver in the Bronx who essentially battles with Chazz Palminteri, the local mob boss, for the direction of his son's life. The catch is that the son idolizes the mob boss, and the family lives two doors from the local mob hangout. Written by Chazz Palminteri, directed by Robert DeNiro, and amazing all around. Very recommended.
