And yes, I know Billy Bathgate is a book first and foremost. Pedants.

Hmmm, good call. All the opium stuff is crying out to be ripped off.

That one with Burt Reynolds and Richard Dreyfus (or was I imagining Richard Dreyfus in this movie, perhaps my subconscious was replaying Close Encounters or even American Graffiti to spare me from the horror of this flick) are old gangsters in a retirement home.

I don't know that movie, but what about My Blue Heaven?

"Lansky" starring Richard Dreyfus as.....Lansky.

'Little Caesar'?

Meyer Lansky? Wouldn't "Murder Inc." kind of count as ripping that off?

Miller's Crossing?

"Bugsy Malone" it's just a matter of time. Seeing as "Annie"'s been done...

i'd say Little Caesar has been plundered, considered there is a rapper named Lil Cease.

good call with Once Upon a Time in America.
