Yeah, I really can't top any of those...if Michael Corleone settling all family business qualified that would probably be my number one, but other than that...
"But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity." - Martin Luther King, Jr

Somebody find a prize for Crewe! He won!

Crewe

oh come now fellas, what about Road to Perdition? Millers Crossing? Big Pussy on the Sopranos, the elevator scene in The Departed, Sollozo and McCluskey, Depp's Dillinger, Carlito's Way, St. Valentines Day Massacre, the bat scene in Untouchables  :D
Seriously though, I know, I did sorta take the best ones. My bad.
Norm, top 5 is yours again lol

I thought about Departed but it just didn't hold up. As much as I loved Road To Perdition as a kid, it feels sort of campy, schlocky now.

Maybe Scarface? I dunno

So, the 2000s were both my really formative years (all of high school, bit of college, first job, kid, marriage) so...I'm going to go with those. In no particular order:

#1- Marilyn Manson - Coma White
#2- Nine Inch Nails - And All That Could Have Been
#3 - Linkin Park - P5hng Me A_wy
#4 - The Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight
#5 - Valencia - Free


It was tough, but I couldn't put Kanye on this list. I liked and listened to Kanye, but as much as I did love 808s, at this time I didn't appreciate it like I do now.

Also very hard to leave off Tool and A Perfect Circle, but, had to be done. Adema as well, Hoobastank and Lost Prophets.

And it was very hard to not just make a list that was entirely Manson or NiN. I wanted to cover the full stretch and chart the change in style.
