Brian De Palma directed this 1987 gem. Kevin Costner plays federal agent, Eliot Ness, who puts together a team of men he names 'The Untouchables' to help bring down Al Capone (Robert DeNiro) during prohibition in 1930's Chicago.

Sean Connery (who won an Oscar for this) and Andy Garcia co-star.

Trailer:

The movie was nominated for 4 Academy Awards.

Thanks. It is a very good film. I thought we needed some more films that were nominated for Oscars. Plus, it has one hell of a scene that was a shootout at a train station. You can part of it as a gif in the OP. It was all in slow motion too with a baby carriage going down the steps.

I bet that was intense.

It was. Great, great scene. They re-created and spoofed it in the beginning of "The Naked Gun 3".

I thought it was fitting to touch on some movies here that were up for Academy Awards in honor of the Oscars tonight. This one was nominated for 4 Oscars - Supporting Actor (Sean Connery), Costume Design, Original Score and Production Design. Connery won.

Sean Connery wasn't an easy sell on this movie. He didn't want to play a character who was older than he was and who was the "old mentor". He also wasn't sure because it was a supporting part. I am sure he glad he took it because he won his only Oscar for it.

**Melis** · 03-23-2019, 05:29 PM

I bet he's glad too.
