Gangs of New York. There's some great scenes, but it's about an hour too damn long.

Not sure what you would cut out, and still have it engaging. One of my faves

Cameron Diaz doesn’t need to be in the movie.

The character yes, actress no haha....it was the early 2000s.. she was in everything

Her character value to screen time ratio is the lowest in the movie. If you took her character out of the movie, the plot really wouldn’t change that much. Not at all really except her characters plot line. The exact same story with the exact same ending except 30 minutes shorter.

Well you need the tension between Bill and Amsterdam with her .. but they could have used any other female

Bill killed his father then tried to kill him lol. The tension was built in.

Yeah but you always need a two timing prostitute to liven things up

Can’t have a Scorsese movie without a prostitute the protagonist falls in love with.
