Atlantic City

I
happen to be on the Jersey coast today. Looking at the water, as I sat on the beach, reminded me of Burt Lancaster's line in the movie Atlantic City (in the voice of his aging gangster character "Lou") as he reminisced on the boardwalk about his past: "You should have seen the Atlantic Ocean in those days".

I think it's one of the great, underrated lines in American movies.
