it gets my vote also. when it first came out, i was married to an italian, who actually wanted to be in the “mob”. god. good thing we live in texas and not new york or it would probably have happened. i just love the movie. i like all the actors and the idea of coming to america, a place that was to be a new beginning for all the immigrants. many of the italian customs bring back precious memories to me of my beloved extended italian family. even though i am no longer in that family, i still love this movie and watch it every time it is on tv!
