    I love Martin Scorsese, but I think that the films that he's influenced are generally better than the films he's directed.
    Bronx Tale is Robert DeNiro's directorial debut, and it's got all the style of a Scorsese film, with more heart and deeper characters. You never forget that the gangsters are bad guys, but you still see a different side to them. They get more dimension than they would in a Scorsese film. It's a great father and son story with a healthy amount of conflict between the two father figures, both played brilliantly by Chaz Palmenteri and Robert DeNiro.

Burroughs. Later in the film, he meets Jack Kerouac, and the Beat Generation is born (together, they fight crime.) The more interesting parts of this film deal with the relationship between Radcliffe's Ginsberg and Lucien…
