Don’t forget his turn as Tommy Five-Tune in the always underrated Hudson Hawk!

One of my guilty pleasure movies, for that sequence, for the steampunk elements, for Sandra Bernhard and Richard E. Grant, and of course for Danny Aiello. He was one of the great character actors of the last 40 years.

I understand why it was a commercial disaster, but it’s so bloody quotable.
“If Da Vinci was alive today, he’d be eating microwave sushi, naked, in the back of a Cadillac with the both of us.”
“Happiness comes from the achieving of goals. It’s just that when you’ve made your first billion by the age of 19, it’s hard to keep coming up with new ones. But I’ve finally got myself a new… goal-- WORLD DOMINATION!!!”

He was so good in “Do the Right Thing,” but my favorite role of his was Louis, the chiropractor (and possible angel) in “Jacob’s Ladder.”

Damn. He had another movie in him.
I remember that being a good film (but it’s been so long, I need to rewatch).

Aeillo and Dreyfuss really did a great job in their roles - they reminded me of two older cats thrown together.
