The movie is basically an excuse for classic stand-up comedian Rodney Dangerfield to drop a series of one-liners. And he has several decades' worth. The story is very straightforward and gets the job done. Of note:

• Robert Downey Jr (later famous as a Disney superhero) has a supporting role as an eccentric college kid
• cameo by writer Kurt Vonnegut
• performance by New Wave band Oingo Boingo
• supporting performances by comedian Sam Kinison, William "Cobra Kai" Zabka, and Terry Farrell (who went on to play Jadzia Dax in Star Trek: DS9)

In 1968, the elderly David "Noodles" Aaronson (Robert De Niro) returns to New York, where he had a career in the criminal underground in the '20s and '30s. Most of his old friends, like longtime partner Max (James Woods), are long gone, yet he feels his past is unresolved. Told in flashbacks, the film follows Noodles from a tough kid in a Jewish slum in New York's Lower East Side, through his rise to bootlegger and then Mafia boss -- a journey marked by violence, betrayal and remorse

Just take note -- it's 3 hours and 49 minutes long. Worth it though.

Movie Description: A sprawling epic of family, faith, power and oil, THERE WILL BE BLOOD is set on the incendiary frontier of California’s turn-of-the-century petroleum boom. The story chronicles the life and times of one Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), who transforms himself from a down-and-out silver miner raising a son on his own into a self-made oil tycoon.

When Plainview gets a mysterious tip-off that there’s a little town out West where an ocean of oil is oozing out of the ground, he heads with his son, H.W. (Dillon Freasier), to take their chances in dust-worn Little Boston. In this hardscrabble town, where the main excitement centers around the holy roller church of charismatic preacher Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), Plainview and H.W. make their lucky strike.

But even as the well raises all of their fortunes, nothing will remain the same as conflicts escalate and every human value – love, hope, community, belief, ambition and even the bond between father and son – is imperiled by corruption, deception and the flow of oil.
