Favorite Movies
February 10, 2007
One of the great things about having teenagers is you begin to get to share with them some of the cultural touchstones of your life—books, music, and movies. In truth, we are pretty far apart on the first two, especially music. They like hip hop, which I don’t, except for an odd song or two. But we have found common ground in movies, especially since I have two boys. I have always loved gangster movies, including the obvious ones like The Godfather saga. But my favorite gangster movie, bar none, is the Coen Brothers’ Miller’s Crossing, which I watched with my boys the other night. It had been a few years since I watched, and it was just as good as I remembered it.
UPDATE: Speaking of gangster movies, The Departed comes out on Tuesday.
