Raimundo, Yes, the GF was the mob as opera, Verdi Does the Gambinis, more or less. Goodfellas or Casino that Johnny Depp/Al Pacino flick (??) was a better depiction of modern day wiseguys. But GF was great movie making, great camera shots, great pacing. I've seen DeNiro going over the rooftops in the Lower East Side during the Italian festival maybe 30 times, I never get tired of it. Or when the cars and mobsters pull into the cemetery for Marlon's funeral and we're all waiting for the traitor to show himself ("He'll be the one who proposes the meeting, Michael. Don't forget that," Marlon says in the tomatoe patch!!) and it turns out to be Tessio. Then when they take Tessio for a ride and he asks for a break, Tom Hagen shakes his head and says, "Sorry, it's business," as if he were repossessing a couch. Your links didn't work, btw. As for Apocalypse Now, I agree the sum of the parts doesn't quite hang together, but I've never heard the Doors quite so correctly as "The End" during the nighttime firefight, or the Ride of the Valkyrie as Army helicopters with Robert Duvall in charge.
