OK I'm picking. Team Theatre Head is going to feel like a real moron if this has already been picked but i've checked about 4 times. In the Pre-60's category, Casablanca

I've been holding on to this pick for the whole draft and finally had to make it.

With the 408th Overall pick The All Or Nuttin team is proud to select in the "Wildcard #1" category, a movie directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, James Woods and Sharon Stone, a movie about friendship and betrayal, power, greed and money between mobsters in Las Vegas, nominated for an Oscar, Casino.
Roger Ebert:
Martin Scorsese's fascinating new film "Casino" knows a lot about the Mafia's relationship with Las Vegas. It's based on a book by Nicholas Pileggi, who had full access to a man who once ran four casinos for the mob, and whose true story inspires the movie's plot. Like "The Godfather," it makes us feel like eavesdroppers in a secret place.
Variety.com:
In fascinating detail and with dazzling finesse, "Casino" lays out how the mob controlled and ultimately lost Las Vegas. Martin Scorsese's intimate epic about money, sex and brute force is a grandly conceived study of what happens to goodfellas from the mean streets when they outstrip their wildest dreams and achieve the pinnacle of wealth and power. An extraordinary piece of filmmaking, the picture is rough and unflinching in ways that won't be to all tastes and, from a commercial point of view, it is certainly open to criticism for its great length and unsavory violence. Film will be a must-see for cinema-savvy audiences , but will make heavy demands on more casual viewers, meaning that a major push by Universal, aided by some strong reviews, will be needed to make this a solid performer outside of upscale urban situations.
