Or the type of movie you leave and immediately go to a crowded bar which is what I did after I saw it.

Finally saw it this weekend.

WOW.

Very gritty and amazing performances all around. Scorsese knows violence. This is up there in the top three Scorsese films for me (behind Goodfellas and Casino, which as films, can do no wrong in my eyes). Even Leo - who I think is often miscast in Scorsese's films, was spectacular and believeable. Loved Alec Baldwin (and his Boston accent was probably the most authentic of the lot of them).

Jack Nicholson and Leonardo DiCaprio should get Oscar noms for this one. Matt Damon was pretty friggin' amazing too.

Saw it again today and I think it might even be better than Taxi Driver.

Alright, I saw it once again and I have to comment on something.

(SPOILER WARNING)

Does anyone else agree that there is overwhelmingly strong evidence that Matt Damon's character was molested by Jack Nicholson's character?

"Saw it again today and I think it might even be better than Taxi Driver."

I think it's really good but I wouldn't go that far.
