Guys. GUYS. The govt is moving to show the jury in Roger Stone's case an excerpt from "The Godfather: Part II" to place in context Stone's references to Frank Pentangeli, which the govt alleges was his way of directing Randy Credico to lie to Congress assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6219… 
(For context, The Godfather I & II are two of my favorite movies of all time, I was raised on them, I watch them at least once a year. So this is a real colliding of worlds right now.)
Here's the scene from "The Godfather: Part II" that the government wants to show at Roger Stone's trial:
Completely setting aside Stone's case for a moment: Frank Pentangeli's arc is honestly one of the highlights of a movie that is largely perfect, this scene where Tom Hagen visits him after he commits perjury gives me chills every. single. time.
