Movies That Need To Be Made

RPM:A remake of Thunder Road?

No.

Focus on the culture of the times. Depict the interactions with other moonshiners,  The proprietary runs, the cat and mouse games with the cops, both with the stills and the cars. 

Then have young John Lee Pettimore return from Nam with a new game.  IDK, maybe that's a sequel...LOLz.

Of course there would be a badass musical score to the flick.

I'm watching Casino yet again. 

The locals say Rosenthal was insufferable asshole. A lot of them resent De Niro's depiction. 

On the other hand, the locals loved Spilotro. A gentleman gangster. 

Great film, but the book is better. For running time purposes they left a lot of meat on the bone. Barely touched on the skim. I guess De Niro and Sharon Stone yelling at each other for 2 hours was more interesting to Scorsese. 

I'm sure his family suing the shit of everybody is determent, but a Tony The Ant series would be awesome.

The book is fantastic and is far better than the movie, which is still a favorite. Frank actually managed four casinos controlled by the Outfit.

If done today the book would make a fantastic miniseries on HBO.

1) Philly mob movie or series I don’t care if it’s Scarfo or the Merlino-Stanfa War just make it happen. 

2) Third Colombo War. Base it on that rat Scarpa, just get it done.

3) There’s a lot of good Chicago Outfit stories. The 80’s was a pretty interesting period. Operation GambAt would be a great series.

It could be called Zodiac 2: Electric Boogaloo

I’d like a fictionalized series based on Rising Tide, which is about the great flood of 1927 and how it changed America. I’m a history buff and missed this until I found that book. Read it if you haven’t.

The Mexia oil boom has lots of stories to tell

Freddie Steinmark

Darrell Royal

Aliens attack College Station

The Outfit control of Hot Springs has a lot of stories

They made a Freddie movie, and it was pretty good given the budget.

Yeah I’d be all in on an Owney Madden - Hot Springs movie or show. I liked Boardwalk Empire, but in a different world, Owney in Hot Springs is a more entertaining show.
