Subject: Re: (313) movies that were filmed in Tha D
>
there's also that film from around 96,were the 2 jazz guys are trying to
get into rehab etc(can't rmmbr the name)
The best one i've ever seen,that realy made me understand where
guys like Alan,Mike,Lester etc are comin from,was a flick i once saw
late night on tv,it had a very young Harvey Keitel(i think it was from
around 73) the story was,about 4 friends working for one of the large
auto manufacturrs,deciding to rob the unions safe box,and finding
a notebook with all union illigal loans activity,after this they are being
chased,killed etc,the black guy does a speach about how he "never
had a chance" etc(realy movin-you got to see this)
Realy atmospheric,and a"must see" for anybody who likes the music
or for the "coke snif" scene too,must be one of the first on film(years
b4 "Scareface")
now who knows the name of this (btw they show that "seven sisters"
in one scene,the ones that were shown being put down, on a site
sombody once posted here) so it's no doubt it was filmed in the D
