The first movie I cried at the end of.

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2009)

I am 21 years old, and have seen countless films throughout my lifetime. I've been choked up at the end of many movies, but tears have never appeared. This movie did it. It must have been the combination of knowing that this was John Cazale's last movie (I'm a big Godfather trilogy fan too), the fact that he was dying of cancer throughout it, and of course the tragic ending, made this an extremely emotional experience. Definitely Walken's best, and possibly De Niro's best (Maybe tied for first with like 10 others!). I'll remember De Niro's performance and dialogue for as long as I live. ("This... is this!") Also, John Williams' score was unbelievable. The guitar + orchestra was perfect. 10/10
