*The Godfather, and Godfather II- not so much with III
*Goodfellas & Casino
*White Christmas, and I'll just throw Seven Brides for Seven Brothers in there with it.
*The Wes Anderson stuff: Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Darjeeling Limited, Life Aquatic (Rushmore is my favorite, but we'll touch on that later)
