[AGL] all films

[Michael Eisenstadt]

ah, movies!

according to cynics, there are only 2 movies, one where a
stranger comes to town, the other where the hero gets to
leave town.

Scorsese did numbers on this in his early Mean Streets,
where DiNero and Harvey Keitel split for the country
to let stuff cool down for a while. And they get lost in
Brooklyn.
