Me and my buddy can watch this movie a hundred times, it's a NY classic. My buddy is on his death bed and I've been calling him Chaludes for 25 years. Can anyone tell me if this is an Italian name for Charlie and confirm the spelling. I am going to tattoo it on my arm when my friend passes. Thanks

Great, great movie.. awesome performances by both Rourke and Roberts.. I could watch this movie over and over.. and still love them so many years later.. It puts me right back on the streets of NYC when I was a kid.. Very few movies grip you down deep like this one.. Single digits for me and I'm 63.

...this is one of my most favorite scenes in ALL of movie history!! It's Mickey Rouke and Eric Roberts at the top of their game... they were never better.

Barry ~ you freaking rock for posting this!! Thanks Chaludes!!

Heart breaking scene. Movies, today, don't move me the way these Old School Movies do.

[ILLRICARDO]

bloody hell these 2 can really act, plus they are a perfect on screen duo, they just act off each other soo well.... hollywood sucks for not giving these 2 great actors the chance they deserve...seriously eric roberts should be in more big releases he can act way better than his wide mouthed sister....

Capicci?

HE ROCKS!

[Tigerlily21]

I think he was trying to be like De Niro and Brando in this film. That's all I kept thinking when seeing this film.

[92ninersboy]

@Tigerlily21 Except Mickey Rourke was a real street guy - both Brando and DeNiro came from relatively priviledged backgrounds. Brando was the first to break through with this kind of method acting. DeNiro and Rourke were influenced by him. Rourke brought his own thing, absolutely - now he's morphed into some kind of sacred-monster of acting. DeNiro does "Meet The Fockers" and Brando got fat when he got older. Rourke went down a much rougher road but he's more bad-ass than ever now .

@92ninersboy Indeed, Rourke is an outstanding method actor, he doesn't even need to dig that deep.

classic, Charlie they took my thumb!

1984-87 no one topped Rourke.

[skaynekurtis]

Thanks for posting!! This is one of the very best scenes in one of the most underrated movies!!

Mickey Rourke was at his best in this film... he & Eric Roberts played-off each other in a way I haven't seen a long time!!

Burt Young... Geraldine Page... great performances!

"...hey chaludes!! We'll sit & have a couple of cognacs...!! ...like gentlemen..."

[Schrittwieser]

Thiese roles were not to difficult for these 2 wild men to play. Call it method acting, call it what u want, these 2 guys played themselves. Both very streetwise actors. Casting director is a genus.

[STEVEBLAKES]

the best acting lesson...by mickey of course

[badumpy]

This movie is classic...Roberts was overlooked in this film..he was outstanding!

[cozzie2000]

I always thought he was a better actor than his over-hyped sister. I's ridiculous he doesn't get more work than he does.

[zippyman818]

This has got to be one of the best examples of OVER-acting ever.

COP SH*T HIS PANTS!

The palpable gritty infiltration of the CITY spices up every scene in this classic.

When they go to the old rooftop pigeon coop, observe how the World Trade Center is framed and used to diminish the space of that scene. Classic cinema verite.

[Silvertrine]

Its a little more like stage acting but its not over-acting. You're just used to self important prick actors who dont think they have to work for the audiences attention and dont need to convey real emotions.
