DICK TRACY

Their turf. Their game. Their rules. They didn't count on HIS law...

Most kids can claim ignorance that the young version of themselves had no idea who Dick Tracy was when they first went to see him in the theater. Heck, they probably barely knew who Warren Beatty was.

All they knew was the colors were vibrant, the characters looked insane, and Dick Tracy had a hat they would have worn proudly (and a radio communicator watch that they HAD to have).

Now, it's not often you so vividly remember seeing a movie at such a young age, and it's even rarer when you remember how great a movie was and grow up to still appreciate that film. DICK TRACY is that film.

How could you forget the Madonna, the Dustin Hoffman, the Al Pacino, the Glenne Headley, the breathy music, and what has to be undisputedly the most visually faithful comic book adaptation ever made (don't even give me your CGI Robert Rodriguez counter arguments). This movie has REAL sets with REAL actors wearing insane amounts of makeup in a 1930s gangster movie for kids.

Warren Beatty called in what had to be EVERY favor he could to assemble one of the most impressive cast lists ever assembled. Don't think about it, don't hesitate, just raise your wrist to your mouth and say "I'm on my way!" BANGARANG! (Greg MacLennan)
