Prizzi’s Honor (1985)

To say the film is the treasure of the year would be to bad-mouth it in this disastrous season. Prizzi's Honor would be the vastly original centerpiece of a great year. It's a rich, dense character comedy in which Huston, working from a screenplay Richard Condon and Janet Roach adapted from Condon's novel, cocks a playful but unblinking eye at love, family loyalty and the togetherness of a happy marriage--Sicilian style.

Probably the funniest mobster movie ever...A sublime meld of black satire, high camp and happy farce.

This film would be a winner any time of the year. It`s a classic piece of moviemaking that I plan on seeing again very soon.

This was the penultimate film from the ailing great director. It is also one of his best.

This is the most bizarre comedy in many a month, a movie so dark, so cynical and so funny that perhaps only Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner could have kept straight faces during the love scenes. They do.
