I thought I saw it as a nipper so I never really sought it out before but it popped up on a series link for Scorsese so I gave it what I thought was a re-watch.

Sweet jesus, what an utterly brilliant piece of filmmaking it is. Endless shots, camera movements and techniques ripped off ad infinitum by other people to this day.

In short, just a beautiful, beautiful thing.

And Marty popped up as the assassin in the final scene too :cloud9:

I thought it was excellent, but does depend on your views on Wes Anderson I suppose

The trailer looks good though, I'm sure I'll get round to it eventually.
