Mean Streets
Scorsese’s first widely touted crime flick, Mean Streets, has earned its reputation thanks to Harvey Keitel’s strong delivery of Scorsese’s story of youth in Little Italy and De Niro’s unhinged wrench in the works that turns the whole thing on its head.
Reservoir Dogs
Reservoir Dogs is carried by Tarantino’s self-contained story about a group of criminals who can’t trust each other, which is itself carried by the excellent performances of its ensemble of a cast on its way to becoming one of the Greatest Films of All Time.
