definitely a classic gangster film, and one of my favorites.

probably seen five times now over the years.
it had a powerful soundtrack, many true life lesson, high drama, and was funny as shit! Some the lines from it are classic:
Sonny after beating up the redneck bikers, to make sure they didn't seek revenge on any one else but him -- "Look at me! Look at me! I am the one that did this to you!"
C when he went confess to a priest as a young boy. On why he would not snitch on mob boss Sonny after witnessing Sonny commit murder. Comparing Sonny and God, C says: "Father, Up There your guy is bigger than my guy. But down here, my guy is bigger than your guy."
