We should come up with a list of things such as favorite scene or line and stuff that we should all answer after watching the movie.

Heck I can do that right now

[jamo]

Families are always rising and falling in America, am I right?

[jamo]

I never noticed before that the song they use to end the Breaking Bad finale, "Baby Blue," is used in a scene in The Departed . Kind of jarring to hear it and expect to see Walter White perusing a meth lab.

I've seen this movie many times too, such a good movie. Anytime Gimme Shelter is playing, it's a good scene. The abandoned warehouse elevator scene at the end. The psychologist's office - DiCaprio acts out of his mind. Pretty much any scene with Marky Mark.

I said we should come up with a list of things, not that we should all start listing our favorite scenes. :P

I'm watching it now. Every character you start to like gets killed. Jamo was right, the accents are not quite right. Costello is pretty convincing, but I'm still trying to figure out how he is the head of the Irish Mob? Leonardo cross examining the psychiatrist woman was pretty funny. "So, you want to get a cup of coffee?"

There's a golfing scene! Driving range, anyway.

Anyone care to analyze the swing?

Favorite character-Jack Nicholas. Least favorite character- I like them all. Favorite scene- Jack talking to Martin sheen and mark Wahlberg "oh I heard you caught some Chinese government types trying to cross the border with some light sockets or something. ". Great movie it's modern classic.

When Nicholson said "she fell funny" now that's demented.

[Abu3baid]

Never seen it before and lived my whole life in mass basically.. will watch and come back to this thread later!

Favorite character is Billy, poor sap.

Frank is ****ing deplorable

Best scene is the warehouse/elevator

So satisfying to see Sullivan get it at the end.

Worst accent is Jack's. Guy is basically speaking Jack Nicholson.

Funniest accent is Martin Sheen's.

And stealth typing on your cellphone while not looking and it's in your pants. Who does that?

Dignam : Ok. My people are out there. They're like ****ing indians. You're not gonna see 'em you're not gonna hear about 'em except from me or Captain Queenan. You will not ever know the identity of undercover people. Unfortunately, this s**thole has more ****ing leaks than the Iraqi Navy.

Ellerby : **** yourself.

Dignam : I'm tired from ****ing your wife.

Ellerby : How's your mother?

Dignam : Good, she's tired from ****ing my father.

One of my favorite sight gags. "The Ten O'clock News." (I'm assuming it's a gag at least.)

[Lihu]

Which reminds me of the scene where the gang was watching the news, and the news announced the "detective" found. I thought it was funny that the gangster was "embarrassed" that the cops found the body so quickly after working so hard all night to hide the body.

Dignam is definitely my favorite character. Every line he utters is classic.

"Who are you?"
"I'm the guy who does his ****ing job! You must be the other guy?"

Least favorite is Ncholson. Some of his scenes I'm just "wha???" Like when he's eating lobster with the dudes hand in a zip loc.

Can't pick a single favorite scene, there are several ... Here's one;

Specifically, Billy's reaction when he's asked for the second time if he's on his period.  I'm no film expert or anything, but I like the subtle things.  (You'll see when get to reviewing Boogie Nights )

That little eyebrow raise says so much.  Awesome acting.

[Jakester23]

I like the way Dignam says to Collin "I'm going to go have a smoke you wanna go have a smoke? No you don't smoke your probably one of those fitness freaks go blank yourself "

That's awesome but that's not Dignam, that's Alec Baldwin. Dignam is Mark Wahlberg.
