I saw Scorcese's Bringing Out the Dead again recently and realized I didn't appreciate how brilliant the film is visually and emotionally. It's one amazing ride through NYC at night at its grittiest best, and Nick Cages' struggle with guilt and redemption. So underrated.

Martin Scorcese, hanging out on Hester Street and Centre Market Place during the making of Mean Streets, 1973.
The big white building in the BG is the old Police Headquarters between Grand & Broome Streets. My old friend Richard Giuga's name is chalked on the wall behind him.
