Miller's Crossing ...again, for, like, the 83rd time. It's still one of my favorite movies of all time. I love the Coens; love the 1930s; love the twisted drama and craziness of old timey gangster warfare and double-crossing; and love the almost Shakespearean drama of the story. Plus, the absolute perfect '30s hardboiled dialog...
Verna: Shouldn't you be doing your job?
Tom: Intimidating helpless women is my job.
Verna: Then go find one, and intimidate her.
Tom [finding someone sitting in the dark in his apartment]: Hello Bernie.
Bernie: Hello Tom. What's the rumpus? How'd you know it was me?
Tom: You're the only one I know who'd knock and then break in.
Bernie: Your other friends wouldn't break in, huh?
Tom: My other friends want to kill me, so they wouldn't've knocked.
...Ach. I love this movie. 10/10
