The Rat Pack (1998) full movie - Ray Liotta 

Let's face it, Ray Liotta was one of the greats. Should have received more honours when he was around. RIP Ray!

Not just because I am Italian, but being Italian and sixty years of age and growing up with the greats, it was easy to fall in love and admire their beliefs. Why did people think my family was nuts because we had friends of all colors and religions staying overnight when we were kids. My dad, who passed away last year at eighty, always taught me and my three brothers and sister, you never make fun of anyone because they are short, skinny, heavy, black, white, Catholic, Jewish, etc..., your true friends come in all shapes and sizes and colors. Miss you like crazy dad. Love always, Billy

I was born in 1985, I envy those who lived throughout the 50s, 60s and 70s, they experienced a time, moments I love where music was real, people were authentic and times were good… plus they experienced the greats in movies and music ..unlike todays garbage.. Rest in Peace to them all…

Back when an insult was a joke, and people laughed. I miss those days. Mine were the 70s-80s

Big Ray Liotta fan here and this doesn’t disappoint!! Rest in perfect peace brother

Ray Liotta was a wonderful actor. May he Rest In Peace. 🙏🙏

RIP The Rat Pack and Ray Lolita .... you certainly made your mark

I love the fact that Sammy isn't looked at as an Uncle Tom we look at him as a trailblazer. Sammy went though it so others didn't have to. It had to be so hard to be him. Mad love and respect goes out to that brotha.

Actually, Frank didn't go to bat for Sammy over his marriage to a white woman - it was Dean Martin who refused to attend JFK's event at the white house if Sammy was left out.

I'm stunned by the singing! Each of the rat pack singers imitates his character's vocal style amazingly--even though I'm sure at least some of them are overdubs. Don Cheadle twirls a mean revolver, and Mantegna, man, Mantegna IS Dean Martin! Talk about acting!

Missing ray and many others that are no longer here😢

so miss Ray Liotta--one of my all time favs

Joe Montagna was a good choice though. Each one of them are doing an EXCELLENT job in this. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I had no idea about this film and that these actors played these great roles!! Hats off to new discoveries so many years later!!

Ray Liotta was the man. I can't remember a bad movie of his.

Nah, I wanta hear Frank sing Chicago again I love the way he does that. 👍

Sammy was so talented nobody could stand next to him. Truth❤

Back when HBO made good original movies.

I love that they have Ray Liotta in this !

I remember Ray playing Rachael's brother on the daily soap opera "Another World" in the seventies. His name was Joey Perrini, Ada's son. He was such a great actor in all the "Mob" movies. Miss him.

Ray Liotta was the best. Rest in Piece

Some of my uncles spoke about Sinatra like he was family and I guess you could say he was in the Italian way, the same way the theme for the Godfather movie was played at my Uncle Mike and Aunt Lena's 60th. wedding anniversary. They lived in East Palestine, Ohio, near Youngstown, where my 12 aunts and uncles grew up. Hollywood did much to frame the nature of those with Italian heritages and this movie is no exception. My favorite line in the Godfather was when Kate said to Michael, while they were walking down the street, followed by a limo, just after he returned from Sicily, "Michael, Presidents and Senators don't have people killed." Obviously another misinformed American. My favorite "line" from the scriptures, and one that impacted my immortal soul while I was having my "rat pack" fantasies was and is, "What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?" You tell me if you think you are informed...

All of them had incredible egos! It makes you question what came first the narcissism or the fame & fortune?

Movies from 70s to the 90s were the best. Love this movie. Love historical dramas. ❤❤❤

I never knew about this! One legend playing another! Thanks for sharing this movie with us!

Dean Martin was 100% right at the time, and nobody heard him. Yesterday is Today.

Perfect Dean Martin

"I miss my guys" Such a good movie and fascinating characters

Just some extra credit for Angus, too, playing Lawford. Great acting to portray someone of middling talent. Props to Cheadle - next level love for SDJ. (And the pistol skills.) 🌟

Nice dose of nostalgia for those of us who can recall America before it turned into a bucket of vomit. 60 years later, I am still upset about LBJ murdering his boss. It’s good the movie did not go that far.

I can only imagine the antics those boys got into! Shits and giggles x20! RIP

I fell for Ray big time in Something Wild. Man he was hot! Overlooked so many times,Hello Goodfellas. He’s was even n an episode of Young Sheldon. Miss those eyes. Rest peacefully Ray.

Politics. Things are never what they seem. Enjoyed the movie, thanks.

the rat pack had a lot of power, esp in Vegas. A lot of talent in that group.

The movie came out the same year Frank died. Of all the 'Rat Pack' only Joey Bishop was still alive when HBO aired this, and one wonders what he may have thought of it. As for me, I thought it was great, and I think that as impossible as it may be to fully capture the essence of any well-known superstar, they did about as good as anybody could've done with this film's casting. They used voice-over dubs for Frank's singing, which is almost obvious since Ray Liotta's speaking voice doesn't sound like Frank's speaking voice at all -- yet Ray's a great actor who embodies the essence of Sinatra in his mannerisms, I think. He comes across as intimidating when he needs to be, Sinatra having been rather volatile at times. One thing that is a bit anachronistic, though, at 13:35, is when they depict Sinatra's Palm Springs pool having the Queen of Diamonds artwork depicted in it before JFK gets elected. THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE was released in 1962, some 2 years in to Kennedy's Presidency, so Frank would not have had that iconic image from the film decorating his pool prior to the election.

I love HBO anything! Just finished Succession and The Regime… excellent! Bravo! HBO has been around 40 Years for a reason … excited to Watch this! Liotta was an amazing man and actor. Shame he died the way he did. 😞

I loved this film since it appeared on HBO. With an all-star phenomenal cast, fantastic music and acting, I will never understand why more people aren’t aware of its existence.

I’ve been wanting to watch this movie again for some time, I just didn’t want to pay those pricks for it. Thank you.

My GOD what a GREAT MOVIE, and I've only just begun watching this, so I know that it can only get better, so Thank You Kindly for this Devine Work Of Art Movie !!!!!! I LOVE IT !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The Joe Kennedy actor is spot on. Joe laid down the law to Frank.

This is like when you are sick and having one of those boring but painful dreams that you can’t escape

Invisible threads finely woven Excellent cast and all and all

Damn Ray Liotta nailed that role and Don Cheadle was brilliant .Shout out to the actress playing Ava Gardner I thought it was her in real life. Cool movie.

The book " Double Crossed" gives you even better insight as to how badly/hard Sam Giancana took the news of Bobby Kennedy becoming the US Attorney General. Sam personally felt that without his (The Mafia) assistance in the state of Illinois, John Kennedy may not have won the 1960 election. It's a "must-read", highly recommended publication.

Loved Ray Liotta! Any movie he was in I watched. This whole cast was great. Don Cheadle another wonderful Actor. Joe Mantegna another great actor. This was a good movie. Probably true to form unfortunately. When Bobby Kennedy got in a double crossed the mafiosos then it was a matter of time for curtains.

One of my forever favorite movies!❤

Marylin: "Death of a Mailman" haha too much!

It’s really too bad that nobody has retained a city block that cultivates talent the way it was done back then. Music stores. Record shops. Theaters. Even the night spots. Today, people are actually following the auditions, instead of seeing the finished, refined musical performance. Not that a LOT of vice didn’t go hand-in-hand with it-but what incredible skill under pressure, by those Pack Greats, including Lawford & Bishop, live or televised!! Even when they missed a note or two, nothing but poise and aplomb, all night. No wonder Sinatra had no patience for endless takes by company-employee directors. It’s worth a mention that Sammy Davis, Jr. had the longest career, having been a child when he joined his uncle’s Vaudeville band/act. He was also the first Black TV talkshow/variety host to be monetized commercially, after Nat Cole was ‘unable to be sponsored’ in that way. Dean Martin had already been given his first break after boxing by Jewish mob men, not Italians, interestingly. Frank Sinatra, also grew up on multiple sides of neighboring bad boys who mobbed-up later as Irish & Italian adults. As did the older Kennedys, Joseph, Jr. & his brother John. Kathleen and Rosemary, too, in all likelihood. A tacky shame that Politics requires so-called minorities to cut-off old, established ties with the very people who gave many political aspirants their starts. Hypocritical, too! Considering that NO immigrant wave was exactly the crème de la crème of its origin points, truthfully, & very few have demonstrated real skill at actual conscientious, sanguine “leadership” once in the New landscape. Yet somehow, instead of fresh starts, new values, different futures, each generation saddles itself with proving something to “the folks back home” that none have successfully proven: Justice, and “better living.” They generate more dollars, to be sure, than ever before. But lose moral compass every time because of blind ambition, egomania, and love of pretense, love of staging, then resorting to lying about grim realities, instead of really working to find and resolve the causes. Staging’s just easier. Try, try, try though they may, they’re not generating the kinds of talent & spine that era (& others) did. Too busy making-up “privileges” out of ordinary living, & overcharging for that. Too desperately hoarding access which should be granted to every single public schooler-just in the hope of rekindling something vital that’s been lost, possibly forever: Promise. 🎼🎶🎻🎺🎸🌷

One of my most favorite Ray Liotta movies.

Amazing movie...Liotta was amazing as Francis Albert...Mantegna as Dean fantastic...not much has changed in the world accept there is no longer integrity & empathy. 👍☘️🖤💛😎We still love the cool cats.

This is my favorite movie of all time especially with ray liotta in it he is so handsome and very talented

Thanks for posting this very well-done movie!

I wonder how good this movie would have been had they used unknown actors who do the best imitations of those guys?

Wow...great movie! Thanks for sharing!

I wonder how many people know that Sinatra had perfect pitch. Wasn't a fan but had respect for him.

I was very surprised by the number of negative critiques of this film. I thought it was brilliant. Much has been written and/or put into film already on the Kennedy era over many decades now. Yet I felt this was a great addition to the study, or even simple curiosity of those bygone days.

Very good movie actors portrayed, and sang same style as characters

Don was AWESOME as Sammy

Awesome movie thank you for posting it

Dean Martin....classic. BTW....in his glass....apple juice! Yup, he was that smooth...that good.

THIS GUY SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SINGER😊

Great film! Have enjoyed this since it first came out. Wish there was an HD version of it online.

ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT ❤

Peaceful Repose to late great Ray Liotta who died on May 26, one day before and many decades after his look alike: the late, great Jeffrey Hunter, who died 55 years ago today. Let ✨🕯️🤍🕊️🌿😇😇🙌 light perpetual shine upon both Ray and Jeffrey/ RIP. ✝️🛐💟💜💐🌷🌹💖❤️🌲💚🙏💙💛🤍 Love Always from a huge fan of both gentlemen.😍😻🤩❣️💌

How did I ever miss this film?

Ray Liotta playing Ray Liotta !!!

WOW !! Fantastic acting & music ! A+

I thought everyone played their parts well. Thank you, good flick.

I remember the first time seeing this the summer of 1998.

Its a wonderful cast.

What a great cast and great movie ! Sinatra live his life to the fullest !!

Excellent!

Back when HBO originals were top knotch.

FUCKING KENNEDYS!😆

I love the rat pack but Sammy was the most talented. Guy could do it all. dance, comedy with perfect inpersonations, and sing the best.

🎭Fantastic casting Kudos!!!...👏👏👏👏...

Antonio Paris,.. love this movie back in 98 when it came out!.. I'm your 870 member.... Why so many Jim Jones Sermons ?!

Coolest squad of entertainers of their era the diamond life in all it's glory The voice lives on forever Oceans Eleven the original element of cool Reprise records was the king of artists Sinatra to Hendrix some amazing recordings from extraordinary artists❤

Wished they'd consider an actor who resembled Sinatra even tho I loved Ray Liota. Actor playing Sammy, spot on!

This movie is like a series of very cool vignettes, well acted by very good actors. I don't know enough about movies or story-telling to identify what is missing, but something is missing. I love it. Seen it a few times. But something is missing. What's missing?

I love how the camera shoots downwards at Don Cheadle (Sammy) to make him look shorter, lol. 🎥 Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸 05/29/2024

A favorite Sinatra movie of mine. I thought Liotta did a very good job of capturing Sinatra.

This film doesn't get recognized enough.

Thankyou x looking forward to this xx

Every time "Dean Martin" opened his mouth, all I could hear was Fat Tony from The Simpsons!

Gotta love that orange sweater.

Well done and some-interesting insight. Looking forward to the new one. Although, not sure if Leonardo DiCaprio is the best choice.

Davis and his cave Mama... took great heat for this relationship

RIP Ray❤

If I'm correct, the biggest mistakes that Kennedy's made was double crossing the Italians. They might be criminals, but they were men of honor. It was a fatal mistake.

I learned so much. It's crazy because i just watched JFK yesterday. So im exploding mentally right now

Very interesting. 😎

Musicians are Magnificent!

This movie is really good!!! Watch it and enjoy it!! Curl up on the couch with buttered popcorn and a soda!! Have fun!!❤❤❤

It's not Ray singing but it' not Frank either. They couldn't get the rights to use Frank music.

I love Ray Liotta

¡ PLEASE RU-vid! TRANSLATE THIS PICTURE TO SPANISH LANGUAGE. I LOVE SINATRA AND I LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE CARACTERS SPEAK. I SPEAK IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE SO, SO. I LOST THE PRINCIPAL IDEA. ¡ PLEASE PUT SUBTITLES!

Cracking film

Nice

Back when movies were worth watching
