My husband just bought me the "American Gangster" DVD. I thought the movie was excellent. I found the true story, behind the movie, so interesting. Seeing the interviews of the real Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) and the detective that brought him down, Richie Roberts (Russel Crowe) made it even better. I learned that Richie Roberts later represented Frank Lucas as his defense attorney, and now the two are close friends.
I love adding new movies to my list of favorites to watch again and again. Better yet, I have a new favorite song that I still can't get enough, from the movie.

"Do You Feel Me", by Anthony Hamilton
Enjoy.
