Get Shorty
1995
When Miami loan shark Chili Palmer (John Travolta) travels to Los Angeles to get money from a "client," he ends up getting involved in the film business. His foot in the door is washed-up producer Gene Hackman, who owes the mob megabucks. But Palmer must juggle a Miami rival, an egotistical star (Danny DeVito) and a local loan shark chasing Hackman in this comic cocktail.

Action, Comedy
I am not a big fan of mob movies but this film took the concept in a completely different direction with fantastic results. The ensemble cast (led by John Travolta and Gene Hackman) was excellent and the humor was spot on. Well worth a viewing.
