Get the Street viewcation mug.The all-time classic 1973 film that launched the careers of New York's finest, Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, and Harvey Keitel.
A severely undervalued film, which in my opinion, surpasses both of Scorsese's later gangster films, Goodfellas and Casino.
Harvey Keitel takes on the lead role as a mob debt collector, Charlie Cappa, a man whose profession, friends, and way of life, often come into conflict with his strong religious beliefs as a catholic. It is, I believe, is his best role and performance ever as an actor. And Robert De Niro nearly steals the show with his outstanding portrayal of the wild and self-destructive Johnny Boy. This is the role that launched De Niro's brilliant career.
And of course, this film introduced us to the genius Martin Scorsese, the best fucking director and filmmaker in the world.

Get the sesame street mug.Street 'Surance is health insurance sold to the poorest sectors of American society, often door-to-door. Such policies are often worthless, the payout ratio being notoriously low. Most such companies engaged in this activity operate outside normal perameters and many are straightforwardly illegal. The pejorative use of the word 'Surance' refers to how the word Insurance may be pronounced by low income families, at whom such policies are targeted.
One of the best dramatized examples of Street 'Surance in modern culture is in the Matt Damon/Danny De Vito film 'Rainmaker', based on the novel by John Grisham, in which a young man with terminal cancer dies because the his "insurance policy" will not pay out. Unsurprisingly, the "Insurance company" is merely a Ponzi scheme and has been looted by the proprietor. The film revolves around a court case brought by the posthumous claimant (and his parents).
