neutral · AI labelView post →🌹Damn, I'm sad to hear Michael Madsen is gone -- and way too early. 🌹 Once of the most underrated actors ever. Dude positively owned the movie "Donnie Brasco" and shoulda won an Oscar for that turn. 🌹 I'm sick of the wrong people dying in this country ...
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m sad to hear that Michael Madsen has died aged 67. I met him at the Kill Bill: Vol. 2 UK press conference in 2004. He also starred in Reservoir Dogs, Free Willy, Donnie Brasco, The Doors, Species, Die Another Day, Sin City, Scary Movie 4, The Hateful Eight, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Just seeing Tom Berenger and Billy Dee Williams in the cast list was enough to get me to start watching. Then the opening theme starts... "hey, isn't that [David Johansen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Johansen) singing?" Sure enough,…

positive · AI labelView post →Michael Madsen (1957–2025) 💔 One of Tarantino’s muses and iconic supporting actor of American film in the ’90s and 2000s, with standout roles in films like “Reservoir Dogs”, “Thelma & Louise”, “Donnie Brasco”, and “Kill Bill”.

neutral · AI labelView post →Michael Madsen - 📽️ Donnie Brasco (Mike Newell, 1997) RIP to a pro of tone, and one of the most prolific screen actors in history. For Newell, Madsen relished one of his largest Hollywood roles as the crew member turned mob boss. His imposing presence speaks for itself, a rare unsettling energy.

But 67 is darn young to die of cardiac arrest unless, e.g. he's diabetic (lack of insulin breaking down sugars mean it builds up around the body compressing arteries), drugs, alcoholism, or genetic > The actor also had a notable role in the Free Willy film series as Glen Greenwood, the adoptive father of main character Jesse Greenwood – portrayed by Jason James Richter in the initial three films from 1993 to 1997. > He made appearances in Thelma…
neutral · AI labelView post →In this weekend's WSJ Review section: We can thank the 1997 mobster movie "Donnie Brasco" for introducing "fugazy" as a colorful word for "fake." But what if "fugazy" was itself fugazy all along? https://on.wsj.com/3KAusxK

neutral · AI labelView post →Michael Madsen, dead at 67. Such a shame. I noticed him in "Wargames" and "The Natural", but it's crazy it was 17 years to really breakthrough with "Thelma And Louise" and "Reservoir Dogs". Some good performances in his career, "Donnie Brasco" and "Mulholland Falls". variety.com/2025/film/ne...

neutral · AI labelView post →Donnie Brasco = A+ So I guess it's based on real life. This movie was getting no less than an A+ once I saw the lion.

neutral · AI labelView post →Released early due to health in 1993, Lefty died of cancer in 1994. His story, especially his bond with Donnie Brasco, illustrates loyalty and betrayal, famously portrayed by Al Pacino in film.

negative · AI labelView post →Titanic. It’s an old tropey Hollywood film done with modern movie stars and special effects.

Jackie Brown, Boogie Nights, LA Confidential, As Good as it Gets, Good Will Hunting, Donnie Brasco, 4 Little Girls…

neutral · AI labelView post →Michael Madsen movie of choice this evening is Donnie Brasco 🎬
neutral · AI labelView post →Always felt Donnie Brasco was somewhat underappreciated for the mob movies, and I definitely (okay maybe pretty sure, it's been a few decades now) remember him from that with the line 'you work for me now'. For some reason that one stuck with me. Seemed entertaining in his roles.
positive · AI labelView post →Godfather favourite movie but I like Donnie Brasco for best role

neutral · AI labelView post →I learned from some mob movie from the 90s (Donnie Brasco?) that you have to put the largest bills on the outside. Plus, I used to be a cashier, and you always count from big to small. That’s also where I learned that they all have to face the same way!
neutral · AI labelView post →5th starter game means I watched a movie for self care purposes. Re-screened Donnie Brasco this time around.
neutral · AI labelView post →And finally Donnie Brasco, but I don't have anything to add that hasn't been said by millions of reviewers lol. I watch all my movies through streaming, but from TV stations streams. I kinda like the experience of the typical 8:15PM movie night lol
neutral · AI labelView post →Surely the lawyers would have verified this. But here's the scoop 🎞️ No specific mob film from the classic era — Goodfellas, Casino, Godfather, Scarface, Donnie Brasco — has a documeted, quotable instance of "86" meaning kill 🎞️ Nothing confirmed in 1950s mob or noir films either.

positive · AI labelView post →This is basically a scene from a mafia movie. It's not unlike the sushi restaurant scene from Donnie Brasco, except without the undercover guy's moral dilemma, just evil mobsters.

neutral · AI labelView post →😢 My favourite Michael Madsen movie was Donnie Brasco rather than Reservoir Dogs or Kill Bill “Michael Madsen, the actor best known for his.. menacing, steely eyed, often sadistic characters in films..including Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill: Vol. 2, has died aged 67” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...
positive · AI labelView post →Donnie Brasco! Also the Free Willy movies lol.
neutral · AI labelView post →One I think needs to be reworked into a series because a film alone won't be enough. Drama / Thriller in the vein of Donnie Brasco meets Devils Advocate. The other is a children's action adventure film. Old school.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ha, maybe :-) I generally enjoy that sort of thing, Godfather, Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, etc but the Sopranos is just so big, I need to set aside some time to watching it. I have the first 4 seasons on DVD, but never watched them yet!
neutral · AI labelView post →While I fully agree, many of the best classic era trek eps are very much XYZ known or popular thing… but Trek. Balance of Terror is The Enemy Below, Rules of Engagement was DS9’s Rashoman, a TNG episode was a Polanski film, Voyager did Stephen Kimg’s Christine, etc etc etc. Oh, DS9 Donnie Brasco…
neutral · AI labelView post →LOL this DS9 episode is another one where some lazy writer just ripped off the entire plot of a film. Donnie Brasco, released a year before the episode, in this case. Just brazen.
neutral · AI labelView post →Popularized by the 1997 mobster movie "Donnie Brasco," "fugazy" continues to get a workout as a colorful term for "fake." But the word itself may be kinda fugazy. My latest for WSJ. https://on.wsj.com/3KAusxK

positive · AI labelView post →For a while, I would hesitate to go see a new movie with him in it, because I would spend the entire movie dreading the inevitable scene where he started screaming. I sometimes wonder if that's why I liked "Donnie Brasco" so much.
