Everytime I come across this movie on RUclips I always tell myself "eh, watch a couple scenes and go onto something else." I end up watching the whole thing everytime.
This is proof that you don't need a decent budget to make a brilliant movie. All you need is a talented director, and some great acting. Hell you don't even need a good scriptwriter, as John Gotti's life provided enough material for half a dozen movies! This deserved a theatrical release more than any movie I know, and it was all true...a masterful biopic.
@@halfdayofthejackal9372 Just a reminder that Gotti was a big mouth in love with himself, and stirred up a lot of trouble. Power tripping a-hole got what he deserved. It took 20 years for the dust to settle. I have more repsect for Gravano for flipping than I did for Gotti's loud mouth arrogance, and his love for playing to the public eye. That's what did it.
One of the few movies that never fails to give me goosebumps. I still have memories of driving through NYC as a little kid and this is just how I remember the city.
This movie is heads and shoulders above the Travolta Gotti. The cast is perfect. The writing is phenomenal. No other version will top this one. This one set the bar way too high
@@LadellTurner I know Michael Franzese raved about this movie and just totally destroyed Travolta playing Gotti. And he's absolutely right. I mean, if anyone would know, it would be him
The best movie on the subject. 100% Better than Witness to the Mob with Nick Turturro, better than Boss of Bosses with Chazz Palminteri and immensely better than the new Gotti movie with John Travolta. Armand Assante was so good and the supporting cast was just as good. Anthony Quinn, William Forsythe, Frank Vincent, Dominic Chianese, Vincent Pastore and Tony Sirico... (some of our favorites from another certain HBO mob family that ran North Jersey) Just gold. Rewatching again in 2024.
A travesty, Travolta, being the top-notch actor he is...the way they waisted his talents with such a poor depiction of a LEGENDARY REAL LIFE FIGURE...Gotti.
A travesty, Travolta, being the top-notch actor he is...the way they waisted his talents with such a poor depiction of a LEGENDARY REAL LIFE FIGURE...Gotti.
Fuckin Aye he is... ive watched this movie a hundred times.. this movie is loaded with great actors , from the lawyer to FBI agents Anthony Quinn was absolutely incredible as Neil Delacroce...One of the best scenes in the movie is at the end when sammy meets with the agents.. their reactions and Forsythe in that scene as sammy was the one the best in the movie.. you are right though Armand Asante really stole the show made Travolta and Tom Sizemore look like amateurs in their roles as gotti.. Travolta was terrible and that movie sucked.. the one with sizemore and the little italian dude
@MiamiBeach xxx I've never seen that one and only heard bad things about it, but because of your comment i shall watch it, i only hope you're not joking.
This is one movie that felt so real, it seemed like it was a documentary more than a movie. I was a junior in high school when this came out and we watched it countless times. Gotti and Donnie Brasco are two of my favorite movies
Gotti demanded (along with his wife) that his neighbor be murdered because his son was an idiot, Sammy the bull wasn't underboss until 5 years after they hit Big paul. This movie is pro gotti propaganda crap.
This movie is actually very well made, and the acting is far beyond what one would expect by looking at it from the surface.. kind of “Lifetime Movie”-esque, but still very worthy of viewing, and appreciating
Armand Assante's speech. The "Mug Shots". The music by Mark Isham. The credits... What an Opening for a movie! Like "Goodfellas", I have watched this film many times. When I don't have time to watch the whole thing, I at least watch the beginning.
I literally just wrote this comment. Armand gave an Oscar worthy performance. Being that it was a HBO movie, I believe he won an Emmy. Just a brilliant performance.
"You're turning this thing of ours into entertainment for every jadrool who watches the six o'clock news. But our thing is secret. Secret. capisce? And what you're doin' won't work." What a fucking great line. Powerful and absolutely accurate.
It sounds like "jadrool" but most of us know, and for those who don't know, it's "Cetriolo" meaning cucumber and widespread in Italy is a figurative association between stupid people and cucumbers.
This is so good! Blast from the past, ain't seen this since the 90s, before I watched The Sopranos, didn't remember how many of them were in this! Armand Asante kills it in this role. I watched the Gravano interviews recently too, like some other comments say, William Forsythe absolutely nails Sammy The Bull. My new favorite old mafia movie, by far!
Good movie but I didn’t think Forsythe did a good job after having seen interviews with Sammy. 🤷♀️ he didn’t seem to do his research on his Cadence or his mannerisms
James Cherne I agree Armand Assante had John down perfectly! The scene where Neil dies and he walks out of the room it was like watching John! I post on my hubby's acct I try to explain that because it confuses people why the name at the end of the post is different! Patricia Gambino Harrington
One of my favorite Mob movies so well done! And very underrated it definitely deserves more. Armand Assante, Anthony Quinn, Frank Vincent, William Forshythe all played their characters to the T. Perfectly.
Mr.Quinn also made a court appearance in one of John’s real trials. I’m not sure which trial but Quinn thought that the lengthy reaches and harassment by the FBI was excessive I could go on but it better if you Tube it.
I think this is the best gotti bio that has been made. This actor is superb as gotti. You would almost think its him, his mannerism, his voice.. brilliant.
John didn't listen, Neil tried to tell him that breaking the rules will bring the whole thing down, Joe tried to tell him he's letting the average person to into "This thing of ours" but John didn't listen, he was more interested in pissing the feds off and being famous then being a boss. This film was really incredible in its story telling, great cast, great setting. Great film
Gotti ruined theob by having everyone to report on a day. Once a WK the feds filmed it all old bosses never would be like that. Gotti was a drunk and degenerate gambler. Just a street thug Even fucked up that hit and mcbtatney had nothing to do with the kidnaping
Seen this movie 20 times and only noticed now that Vincent Curatola (Johnny Sack) has a cameo. He is seen clapping when Gotti is introduced as new boss
Crazy how i didnt see this movie till 3 yrs after it 1st hit HBO back in the day and couldnt believe how legendary this movie was .. 1 of my all time fav
There were a couple scenes, where he had this look in his face, and I said OMG, this guy has transformed into the real Neal Delacroce. He nailed that guys mannerisms. Amazing!
First time see this movie so many members of sopranos in this movie nice to see them all looking young and fresh , after I finished the sopranos yesterday! Great movie 🎥
This is a very well put together movie, the acting is 2nd to none!! They really did a good job, all the characters are just spot on and bring the whole story to life and let's you understand the lifestyle... The Gotti character is the best acting I've ever scene in my life!! SALUTE!!
When Angelo is dying at the hospital ... John feeds him the canoli...best part when Angelo says sorry and John says shut up and eat...Great scene ..awesome movie overall..thanks for the upload
Without the Success Of Armande Assante's Gotti On HBO would they have even gambled on the Soprano's ? This movie help take HBO as a boxing channel to Hey there a network 💯
I've watched this one twenty times and there is always something in it I like again and again . Great movie . Travolta isn't even close to this guy . Asante and Quinn were great in this movie
Armand Assante did a great job in his portrayal of John Gotti. Anthony Quinn was great as Aniello Dellacroce too. There were a lot of really good performances in this movie.
More like Goodfellas than GF. It went for realism with a less elaborate production. No fancy director, elaborate sets or expensive actors. Considering all that, it's just amazing how realistic and great this movie came out. Everyone loves a slippery underdog great gangster movie.
I watched this when it aired initially. Armand Assante, Anthony Quinn and William Forsythe were fabulous. I feel bad for the neighbor even though Victoria Gotti herself demonizes him. If it was an accident, he certainly didn't deserve to be killed.
Gotta got away with it , he didn’t kill him because of the accident that guygot killed because he didn’t show respect didnt go to Gotti and apologize and beg for forgiveness Which anyone should do even if it wasn’t Gotti But especially if it is Anything with children is World shatter I’m not advocating murder just saying
@@051kilo2 Gave me chills as well. Was even a bit hard to watch. Made me wanna fast forward it to the next scene. To be able to give my body n mind a physical reaction you know the scene was amazing.
Anthony Quinn was Mexican. He pulled this off so good. This is the best mob movie ever, period. John Travolta basically did a parody of this gem. It also weird to see Paulie without the wings in his hair...
So, John Gotti's dislike of Paul Castellano goes way back to 1973 or even way before that, for several reasons, including heritage. This movie is excellent, I can't believe that I haven't seen it before this, I will definitely watch it again.
Everytime I come across this movie on RUclips I always tell myself "eh, watch a couple scenes and go onto something else." I end up watching the whole thing everytime.

To think that Sammy is still alive today is mind-blowing. And even today he still can’t set foot in New York City. He’s persona non grata.
Anyone he dealt with is now long gone, but still would be dumb and suicidal to go back to NYC.
This movie is criminally underrated. Better and more rewarcheable then a dozen Oscar Best Picture winners.
"The Feds are a machine. They don't run out of time or money." Isn't that the truth!

@@orvil9223 Oh look it's somebody who was actually there. Awesome bro, tell us the true story man!?
@@iamthepapi6251 The slightest bit of research will tell you the true story.
@@orvil9223 It’s a movie not a documentary. Like The Sopranos. It was made to entertain not educate.
Paulie walnuts is living a double life. I wonder if Tony knows about his betrayal
He said he lived through the 70’s by the skin of his nuts when the Colombo’s were going at it, this is what he was talking about I guess
When Angelo is dying at the hospital ... John feeds him the canoli...best part when Angelo says sorry and John says shut up and eat...Great scene ..awesome movie overall..thanks for the upload
In all reality gotti never went to Visit Angelo when he was dying
John Gotti is by far the best playing this by Amarnte DeSoto. I watched it several times and lived on Long Island when He was Don, Elizabeth 🍸
Without the Success Of Armande Assante's Gotti On HBO would they have even gambled on the Soprano's ? This movie help take HBO as a boxing channel to Hey there a network 💯
Very good point
I agree
HBO films always produced great biographies. In high school I loved "Stalin," "Truman," and "The Rat Pack."
Well said 👍
I've watched this one twenty times and there is always something in it I like again and again . Great movie . Travolta isn't even close to this guy .
Asante and Quinn were great in this movie
Assante awesome
and the driver being shot at 1.04.45 is even closer looking to Gotti than Asante
SO WAS FORSYTHE
Sparks was serving Premium Paul Cutlets, by 8:15. DeMeo meat cut/drain are quick: Manhattan, to brooklyn, & back to the grill. Fuggeddaboudit
Yes this movie is better then new one asante bad ass actor
probably my 6 or 7th time listening/watching this movie this month. can't lie i enjoy this movie too much 🤣
Armand Assante definitely had the makings of a varsity athlete.
Its very hard to not watch the full movie once you click
Very few movies have that effect.
Great acting and exceptional characters, salute sir Gotti.
Finally seen this movie in it's entirety. Excellent!
It's hard not watching Gotti .. everytime I walk away to do as something else, it pulls me back in LOL 😆👍
Armand Assante did a great job in his portrayal of John Gotti. Anthony Quinn was great as Aniello Dellacroce too. There were a lot of really good performances in this movie.
Love this film best gangster film out there love from hull England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍💯
According to the people who know this is the most authentic mafia film.
Crazy to think we have four future Soprano actors in this (Dominic Chianese, Vincent Pastore, Frank Vincent, and Tony Sirico)
You forgot Frank Pelligrino
“You’re not gonna believe this. He killed 16 Checkolysvakians. Guy was an interior decorator “
His house looked like shit🤷🏽♂️
“We shoulda stopped at Roy Rogers”
The Dapper Don is now the Teflon Don” that was said, it gave me goosebumps!!! Great movie!!!💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇮🇹🇮🇹🙏🏻🙏🏻 RIP
Half the actors in this movie were in the Sopranos series. This Movie is a masterpiece.
Legendary movie. Very slept on. A+
So many Sopranos actors I love it.
More like Goodfellas than GF. It went for realism with a less elaborate production. No fancy director, elaborate sets or expensive actors. Considering all that, it's just amazing how realistic and great this movie came out. Everyone loves a slippery underdog great gangster movie.
John Gotti will never be forgotten in a thousand years
Who?!
(1000yrs is a long time
..10+ generations!!
A pos gang banger, nothing more,,,
Now Sammy has a successful RUclips channel telling stories.
This movie is so addictive
I watched this when it aired initially. Armand Assante, Anthony Quinn and William Forsythe were fabulous.
I feel bad for the neighbor even though Victoria Gotti herself demonizes him. If it was an accident, he certainly didn't deserve to be killed.
Well if it was your kid you might feel differently
Rumour said he was tortured really bad with a chainsaw in the back of a van
@@elrafa5845 It was an accident, therefore no charges. Vigilatism is not the answer. Do it and find yourself sitting pretty in jail.
Gotta got away with it , he didn’t kill him because of the accident that guygot killed because he didn’t show respect didnt go to Gotti and apologize and beg for forgiveness
Which anyone should do even if it wasn’t Gotti
But especially if it is
Anything with children is World shatter
I’m not advocating murder just saying
“ this whoolllllle fucking thing . last only , five minutes “ 😳 chills
And he's 100% correct.I'm 50 and it feels like a long 2 minutes went by.
@@alexscott730 that line was delivered so perfect, it literally gave me chills
And I wish you many more 🍰
@@051kilo2 Gave me chills as well. Was even a bit hard to watch. Made me wanna fast forward it to the next scene. To be able to give my body n mind a physical reaction you know the scene was amazing.
Anthony Quinn was Mexican. He pulled this off so good. This is the best mob movie ever, period. John Travolta basically did a parody of this gem. It also weird to see Paulie without the wings in his hair...
He was also in the Movie " Mobsters".
So, John Gotti's dislike of Paul Castellano goes way back to 1973 or even way before that, for several reasons, including heritage. This movie is excellent, I can't believe that I haven't seen it before this, I will definitely watch it again.
