Get Shorty (1995 Barry Sonnenfeld)

The real Chili Palmer appears in Scott Frank's adaptation of Elmore Leonard's book. John Travolta is very cool, Gene Hackman funny. Feel like I'm writing this aged 12.

A delectable cast. Rene Russo, Danny de Vito, Dennis Farina, Delroy Lindo, James Gandolfini, David Paymer, Martin Ferrero, Bette Midler, Harvey Keitel.

Music: John Lurie, DOP Donald Peterman, editor Jim Miller.

In 2017 a TV version began with Chris O'Dowd and Ray Romano.
