[george kaplan]

It had looked like you had nominated it, and then him. But since it's just a nom from him, make mine a second.

 

[SteveGon]

Shoot, what are the chances of me nominating a well-known film?

FWIW, I nominated: Clockers, Gunman in the Streets, Touchez Pas Au Grisbi, and The Yakuza Papers.

New Jack City

Johnny Dangerously

Reservoir Dogs

White Heat

Third:

[Jim_K]

Makes sense to include the films from the Warner Gangster collection since this is what Steve is celebrating.

Noms
White Heat
Public Enemy
Little Caesar
Roaring Twenties

If I had more I'd nominate the other two

 

[george kaplan]

I'll second (or third, since it looks like both Ric & Jim nominated it), White Heat

 

[SteveGon]

Okay, four more noms, secs, and thirds for everyone.

Jim gets his White Heat nom back since Ric had already nominated it; I'll assume he would have seconded it so he's minus a second.

Beating him to the punch, I'll nominate Angels With Dirty Faces, The Petrified Forest, Carlito's Way, and the recent I'll Sleep When I'm Dead.

Seconding: Scarface '32, Little Caesar, Public Enemy, The Roaring Twenties, State of Grace, The Krays, The Killers '46, Reservoir Dogs

Third: Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai

 

[Brook K]

I'll Third Scarface '32, Miller's Crossing, The Killers '46

I'll Second New Jack City, Some Like It Hot, Casino, Carlito's Way

Sonatine
Casque D'Or

There's about 50 more that easily spring to mind. I'll have to wait though.

Second:

The Killer (assuming it's the John Woo film).

 

[Brook K]

2nd
Point Blank

 

[Lew Crippen]

Second:

The Killer



Third:

The Testament Of Dr. Mabuse

 

[Jim_K]

Yes, The Killer is the John Woo film.

I should have also specified that Get Carter is the original Michael Caine film & not the horrid remake.
