Good movies

Here are a couple semi-autobiographical male director young adulthood movies that I seen:

I Vitelloni directed by Federico Fellini (Italian, 1953)

Good story about a handful of friends in their late 20's who can't seem to escape the small seaside town that they grew up in. They drink, they smoke, and they womanize, but one ends up marrying another one's sister. Things get hectic when this newly married man can't give up his old habits.

Mean Streets directed by Martin Scorcese

Heartwarming tale of some wannabe big-time small time crooks that dwell in the underbelly of early 1970's NYC. Harvey Keitel falls head over heels for the cousin of gamble-aholic Robert De Niro. Tensions escalate when De Niro's character, who owes mad money to another guy in the crew, begins to get out of hand.
