Bandoff - Gangster Movie Edition - Round 1 - Tie 2

[StillSpike]

Bloody hell I hope that sense prevails here, but then again this country decided to name a ship Boaty McBoatface, so nothing will surprise me.

Once Upon a Time in America is one of my favourite films - fantastic performances from Robert DeNiro and James Woods, among many others, perfect photography, a score from Ennio Morricone that is unbeatable and a directorial masterclass from Sergio Leone.

Lock Stock has Vinnie Jones slamming a blokes head in a car door and also contains Sting - make of that what you will.

'Once Upon a Time in America' (1984) is a marvellous movie. Love Sergio Leone's films and this epic essay on violence and greed is up there with his best.

FFS, how is this even close?

[StillSpike]

For fucksake people - what are you even thinking about?

If you've not seen Once Upon a Time in America, then I strongly advise it - it's available free to stream if you have Amazon Prime, but even if you have to pay it's worth whatever price they put on it.

f*cking mockneys

Lock stock is a pile of steaming manure that makes me want to shoot my tv Elvis style whenever someone decides to air it.

I've never seen OUATIA but there's no way I'd vote for Lock Stock which is a typical lad-culture gangster interpretation from a public school boarder's point of view. Utter bollocks.

[Disoriented]

OUATIA is genius film-making but incredibly long.

Worth staying the course.

[Dunners]

This is far too close still. If you've actually voted for Lock Stock for sincere reasons, then you need to be sent for re-education immediately.

[StillSpike]

Well that was a close run thing ! At last good sense prevailed
