Once Upon a Time In America

Plot:

Epic, episodic, tale of the lives of a small group of New York City Jewish gangsters spanning over 40 years. Told mostly in flashbacks and flash-forwards, the movie centers on small-time hood David 'Noodles' Aaronson (Robert De Niro) and his lifelong partners in crime; Max(James Woods), Cockeye(William Forsythe) and Patsy(James Hayden) and their friends from growing up in the rough Jewish neighborhood of New York's Lower East Side in the 1920s, to the last years of Prohibition in the early 1930s, and then to the late 1960s where an elderly Noodles returns to New York after many years in hiding to look into the past.

(Also briefly stars Joe Pesci)

Rating 10/10

Unbelievable film, almost four hours long.
