Once Upon a Time in America (1984)

Once Upon a Time in America (1984) is the epic, four hour story that spans 30 years in the life of David "Noodles" Aaronson (Robert DeNiro). Directed by spaghetti western pioneer Sergio Leone, the film chronicles the lives Noodles and his other friends from Manhattan as they go from young Jewish kids to Prohibition-era gangsters, controlling the flow of alcohol in and out of New York City. One of their stops along the way to their life of crime is during their teenage years when they catch a local policeman (Richard Foronjy) having sex with a woman and take a picture of him in an attempt to blackmail him. We get a nice look at Richard's rump as he and his lady are in the act, but it's over too quickly for a four hour film! We could've used a whole lot more of that!
