Greatest Gangster Film
Only Al Capone kills like that. Indeed he did.
If you are a fan of gangster films in general, this is a must see, must have movie. It grabs your attention from the very beginning, and pulls you right in. The suspense builds to that fateful Valentine's Day in 1929.
A superb cast that includes Jason Robards, Ralph Meeker, George Segal, Joseph Campanella, Frank Silvera, David Canary, John Agar, Jack Nicholson, Leo Gordon, Jean Hale, Harold J. Stone and Bruce Dern. Also, Jack Nicholson had a bit part. Narrarated by the late Paul Frees.
Why I Love St. Valentine's Day Massacre
The St. Valentine's Day Massacre
Amazon Price: $12.99 (as of 07/26/2008)
The original classic gangster film. The infamous 1929 shooting of seven Chicago mobsters. It's a fascinating reproduction of a time when bloodshed was plotted in business boardrooms and tommy guns were a daily fact of urban living. Jason Robards stars as mob boss Al Capone, with Raplh Meeker as his North Side rival Bugsy Moran.
Go ahead, disagree. I dare you.

Capone Trivia
Upon arriving in Chicago in 1919, Capone was taken under the wing of mob boss Johnny Torrio. When Torrio stepped down in 1924, Capone took over.
Capone received his famous scars when he made a lewd comment regarding the sister of a hood named Frank Gallucio. Gallucio, standing up for his sister's honor, slashed Capone on his left cheek.
After his release from prison, Capone paid the government every cent he owed in back taxes, interest, and penalties.
