Still waiting on the first vote for Bugsy
New York gangster Ben 'Bugsy' Siegel takes a brief business trip to Los Angeles. A sharp-dressing womanizer with a foul temper, Siegel doesn't hesitate to kill or maim anyone crossing him. In L.A. the life, the movies, and most of all strong-willed Virginia Hill detain him while his family wait back home. Then a trip to a run-down gambling joint at a spot in the desert known as Las Vegas gives him his big idea.

And... yeah, it is a pretty cool story, only they kind of ignore that and focus on a love story instead with the whole Vegas thing as a secondary plot.
So, you know, at least they made Bonnie and Clyde good.

This is based, very loosely, on the real-life shenanigans of Benjamin Siegel - aka “Bugsy” (Warren Beatty) as he evolves from small time, womanising, brute to aspiring property developer in an embryonic Las Vegas just as the Hoover Dam was coming on-stream with copious amounts of cheap electricity. Along the way, he ditches his wife and children as he falls hook, line and sinker for would-be actress Virginia Hill (Annette Bening) whose patience he is soon testing with his behaviour and a cavalier attitude that is likely to see him end up in deep trouble. Things eventually come to an head when he proposes to his sponsor, so to speak, Meyer Lansky (Ben Kingsley) that they find $2 millions to b…
