Angel Heart - "I Don't Like Messy Accounts" 

For the end of the year we are tying up our loose ends with De Niro, Rourke & Bonet in ANGEL HEART (1987). A Faustian tale that goes all the way to hell and back. A film that was extremely controversial when it came out - Bonet had to exit the "wholesome" sitcom she had starred on prior.

Beautiful cinematography, stunning locales and De Niro doing his best impression of Marty Scorsese - what more could you want to ring in the New Year!?

Wishing you and yours a Happy 2025!
