I have a tremendous soft-spot for this movie.  Sadly, I am old enough to have seen it in the theater, but I own the DVD and have watched it too many times to admit.  I loved this era: NYC was at it chicest,, sexiest, grimiest best.  The sets/locations alone make this worth watching.  Laura's pier studio, c'mon, awesome.  The clothes were so fabulous for the era, the music... Lets All Chant, man!.  Faye Dunaway, Tommy Lee Jones, Brad Dourif, Raul Julia - c'mon!  How awesome can you get.  This is a masterpiece of imperfection and pure fabulousness!  I LOVE this movie. And I am not ashamed to say that it's one of my all time favorites.
