Product: Mean Streets (1973)
Rating: 5.0
A Classic of Modern Cinema
This is the real deal. Scorsese, De Niro, Keitel, all young and hungry. There is no pretension in this movie, but it still sparkles with amazing ideas, from the soundtrack to the twisted vision of the camera, all on a shoestring budget. Few movies approach this one - it is hard to think of a false step, wrong line, or weak performance. A great choice for a DVD purchase, too, as it holds up well to repeat viewings.
