Each suspects the other of infidelity and even for this very modern thinking couple, this represents the worst kind of threat. But even as they feel each other slipping away, they are willing to do anything to save their relationship. Set in a highly stylized world in which no visual image, or character is random, Phil and Anna's fractured world can't help but implode.

Miller's Crossing (1990)

Actors: Frances McDormand (actress), John Turturro (actor), Sam Raimi (actor), Marcia Gay Harden (actress), Olek Krupa (actor), Mike Starr (actor), John McConnell (actor), Jon Polito (actor), Gabriel Byrne (actor), Steve Buscemi (actor), Michael Badalucco (actor), Michael Jeter (actor), Albert Finney (actor), Joel Coen (producer), Ethan Coen (producer),

Plot: A highly styled 'genre' film which can perhaps be seen as a pastiche of all gangster movies. Tom Reagan is the laconic anti-hero of this amoral tale which is also, paradoxically, a look at morals within the criminal underworld of the 1930s. Two rival gangs vie for control of a city where the police are pawns, and the periodic busts of illicit drinking establishments are no more than a way for one gang to get back at the other. Black humour and shocking violence compete for screen time as we question whether or not Tom, right-hand man of the Irish mob leader, really has a heart.

Quotes:

Verna: Leo's got the right idea. I like him, he's honest and he's got a heart.::Tom Reagan: Then it's true what they say. Opposites attract.

Johnny Caspar: When you're right you're right, but you never say 'I told you so'.::Tom Reagan: So what am I right about?::Johnny Caspar: Well, I'll tell ya, but first you gotta promise not to say 'I told you so'.::Tom Reagan: I don't say that and I don't like people who do.::Johnny Caspar: Mink was robbin' me right along with the shmatte.::Tom Reagan: What convinced you of that?::Johnny Caspar: Mink Larouie took a powder. We can't find him. Bluepoint's makin' excuses for him, but personally, I think you were right. I think Mink and Bernie was in it together. I think Mink heard you'd bumped the shmatte, and lit out. The lousy sonofabitch.::Tom Reagan: I told you so.::Johnny Caspar: Hahahaha! You got a lip on you!

Tom Reagan: Think about what protecting Bernie gets us. Think about what offending Caspar loses us.::Leo O'Bannion: Oh, come on, Tommy. You know I don't like to think.::Tom Reagan: Yeah. Well, think about whether you should start.

Verna: What're you chewin' over?::Tom Reagan: Dream I had once. I was walkin' in the woods, I don't know why. Wind came up and blew me hat off.::Verna: And you chased it, right? You ran and ran, finally caught up to it and you picked it up. But it wasn't a hat anymore and it changed into something else, something wonderful.::Tom Reagan: Nah, it stayed a hat and no, I didn't chase it. Nothing more foolish than a man chasin' his hat.

Leo O'Bannion: You hear about Rug?::Tom Reagan: Yeah, RIP.::Leo O'Bannion: They took his hair, Tommy. Jesus, that's strange, why would they do that?::Tom Reagan: Maybe it was injuns.

Tom Reagan: Tell Leo he's not God on the throne, he's just a cheap political boss with more hair tonic than brains.

Tom Reagan: So what's the deal, you get to live and Verna has to be Leo's girl?::Bernie: I have nothing to do with that, she'll sleep with anyone Tom, you know that! She even tried to teach me a thing or two about bed antics once. Some crackpot idea about saving me from my friends. She's a sick twist all right.::Tom Reagan: She speaks highly of you.::Bernie: Yeah, well, you stick by your family.

Tom Reagan: I am awake.::Tad: Your eyes are shut.::Tom Reagan: Who you gonna believe?

Tom Reagan: All in all not a bad guy - if looks, brains and personality don't count.::Verna: You better hope they don't.

Eddie Dane: Where's Leo?::Hitman at Verna's: If I tell you, how do I know you won't kill me?::Eddie Dane: Because if you told me and I killed you and you were lying I wouldn't get to kill you *then*. Where's Leo?::Hitman at Verna's: He's moving around. He's getting his mob together tomorrow night. Whisky Nick's.::Eddie Dane: You sure?::Hitman at Verna's: Check it. It's gold.::Eddie Dane: You know what, yegg? I believe you.::[Shoots him]
