Bringing Out the Dead https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f7/Bringing_out_the_dead.jpg Dir: Martin Scorsese Genre: Drama Year: 1999 Bringing Out the Dead is probably tied with Kundun and The King of Comedy as the most underrated Scorsese film, but it's my favorite of the three. It seems like almost no one has seen this or remembers it, but for me it was one of his movies that stuck with me the longest. There have been a number of movies over the decades that tried to capture that "after hours" feeling of New York City (including Scorsese's own movie After Hours). New York is a really unique place in that it truly is never not moving--even at 4 or 5 in the morning. And Bringing Out the Dead perfectly delivers on the feeling you have when you are up that late and interacting with the absolute freaks who are out with you. Nicholas Cage is cast perfectly for this role, since he is a crazy person already, and he helps telegraph an unforgettable portrayal of late night insanity. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
