also, *books

it's an adaptation of "Wiseguy" by nicholas pileggi, about the real life of henry hill.

All the clips for the Henry Hill post I mentioned above are available. I seem to remember reading about some changes for YT playlists recently - perhaps they're still working out the kinks?

This is why we ought to be able to create multipart posts here, so that we're not dependent on external players like this. It would also allow clips from different hosts to be playlisted together.

This is weird. I was watching the Henry Hill doc last night and had the same problem. But it wasn't just that it wouldn't autoplay the next vid, I couldn't even skip to it with the side arrows on the player. And the clip selection button (lower left corner next to play button) wasn't working at all.

Yeah, good call on Wiseguys. I think the only thing they left out was Henry Hills circumcision.

In reply to this comment by my15minutes:
hmm... "best book to movie adaptation"

as in, overall quality of the source text and/or adapted film?
degree to which they were faithful to the source material?
that's often just as difficult. like crunching Hamlet down to an hour and a half.

Get Shorty was an excellent adaptation. elmore leonard has a snappy paperback style that plays well onscreen. especially when it's that well-cast, shot, and edited (as was again true for Out of Sight and Jackie Brown).

i'd read 'Wiseguy' long before Goodfellas was made, and found it a remarkably good adaptation even for scorcese. it's all in there. right down to how karen hill used to hold her thumb and forefinger apart to indicate how thick a stack of hundreds she wanted to go shopping with.

Great find and thanks!
