Married to the Mob
Angela de Marco is fed up with her gangster husband's line of work and wants no part of the crime world. When her husband is killed for having an affair with the mistress of mob boss Tony "The Tiger" Russo, Angela and her son depart for New York City to make a fresh start. Unfortunately, Tony has set his sights upon Angela -- and so has an undercover FBI agent looking to use her to bust Tony. From TMDB

60 of 96 · most liked firstI've seen MARRIED TO THE MOB maybe a dozen times and only today did I notice that the mob name for James Roe was "Jimmy Fisheggs." That movie is endlessly delightful.

I need to discuss it with someone. Can I unburden myself to my friend? No, she did not watch it. So now I’m alone with my thoughts.

unlabelledView post →I am 54 in three weeks' time, and I have just twigged that the title of the 1988 film Married to the Mob is playing on the phrase "married to the job".
unlabelledView post →so y’all know she’s my absolute QUEEN and I’ve thought long and hard about this for years but it has to be this one. she’s so stunning in it and perfect and the movie is incredible. (runners up: Dangerous Liaisons, Batman Returns, Married to the Mob and Fabulous Baker Boys 💋)
unlabelledView post →Now watching: ‘Married to the Mob’, dir. Jonathan Demme, 1988. What an incredibly stylish film – that assassination on the train! And what a cast, including David Johansen as a priest. 🎬🎥
unlabelledView post →Late night movie is Jonathan Demme's (I *know*!!!) "Married to the Mob" (1988), a maximalist, violent, screwball, mob, fish out of water, near genre-less NYC and costuming love letter I *adore*. Al Lewis and Todd Solondz are in this! David Byrne did the music for some goddam reason!

unlabelledView post →I'm watching the Jonathan Demme collection on Criterion so next up is MARRIED TO THE MOB, which is a great mafia movie and hilarious tonal shift maybe best exemplified by FBI Agent Oliver Platt in this outfit w this face (a standard Oliver Platt "I'm not sure if I want to kill you or myself" face)

unlabelledView post →#247 - Married to the Mob (1988) ★★★★ Review: letterboxd.com/vinceunderwo...
unlabelledView post →For most, "Goodbye Horses" is how they discovered Q Lazzarus. Jonathan Demme included it in his 1988 movie, "Married to the Mob". However, it wasn't until his 1991 hit "The Silence of the Lambs", that it really took off. Indeed! #musicsky #GoodbyeHorses www.sacredbonesrecords.com/products/sbr...
unlabelledView post →The They Might Be Giants video "Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head" was made using leftover unused reels of film from the production of "Married to the Mob." This is all I know about the movie.
unlabelledView post →The mob keeps trying to pull her back in for the whole movie in Married to the Mob, though
unlabelledView post →Tonight in "Movies that Time Unfairly Forgot" is former cable staple Married to the Mob. Michelle Pfeiffer is a delight, and it works as a romantic comedy and mob movie satire. It zips along, with plenty of laughs, goofiness, and sharp writing. It aged about as well as a big hair era film can.
unlabelledView post →It's also fucking wild that Demme had a impressive 3-film run in the Late 80's to Early 90's. 1988: Married to the Mob 1991: The Silence of the Lambs 1993: Philadelphia
unlabelledView post →24. Married to the Mob is Jonathan Demme's best film - and yes I include Silence of the Lambs in my assessment.
unlabelledView post →Slightly off topic, but I think The Godfather is a great movie, and I don’t like it. I don’t have any interest in that whole mafia genre, so I’ve never seen those Scorsese movies, only mafia movie I like is Married to the Mob. Skipped all the rest.
unlabelledView post →You told me that previously. I wouldn't be surprised. Frasier was definitely intimated by her because she was just as smart as him. I could see Kelsey feeling the same. I'm surprised Mercedes wasn't able to capitalize on her Oscar win more. Did you see Married to the Mob? I loved that movie.
unlabelledView post →They Might Be Giants' video for "Put Your Hand in the Puppet Head" was shot on the trails (leftover bits of film) from "Married to the Mob."
unlabelledView post →One thing I appreciate about MARRIED TO THE MOB is that the heart of the movie is Angela knowing how small their lives are and being desperate to make her life bigger.

unlabelledView post →Watched "Big" yesterday, which is always great. It has Mercedes Ruehl as the main character's mom. So I then watched "Married To The Mob", which stars Mercedes Ruehl. You can tell me that one of the other charming actors had a more leading role, but Mercedes "Ruehled" that movie.
unlabelledView post →Last night I watched Married To The Mob on 4K disc from Cinématographe Every Jonathan Demme movie grows on me the more I watch it. Married to the Mob is no exception. It’s sometimes very funny, sometimes very dark and always very emotionally satisfying. That’s a tough thing to pull off.
unlabelledView post →Watching a classic film I've not seen every day in 2026. 88. Married to the Mob (Jonathan Demme 1988) Michelle Pfeiffer shows her acting chops in a funky, energetic dark comedy typical of Demme's pacy directing style. Great soundtrack, Dean Stockwell is funny & evil. 8.5/10
unlabelledView post →Really enjoyed Project Hail Mary, love when a space movie has a score that sounds like David Byrne's score for Married To The Mob or the Phillip Glass tracks on the Truman Show score
unlabelledView post →It is such a pleasure from 2025 to put on Married To The Mob. Like that isn’t even his best movie but it has wit zip and zest far in excess of many other people’s whole filmographies haha. And forget about his big dogs, Silence holds up almost painfully well, it’s so close to flawless.
unlabelledView post →Jonathan Demme is one of my favorite directors. I've been filling in the gaps of his filmography and it's just been a pleasure. He still gives a movie like "Married to the Mob" so much visual creativity and empathy.

unlabelledView post →121. Married to the Mob (1988). Good. Enjoyable movie carried by Michelle Pfeiffer. ....That's all I got, threw it on at random lol
unlabelledView post →I love MARRIED TO THE MOB. When Matthew Modine wakes up and has that bizarre system for putting his clothes on it's like the movie turns into Wallace & Gromit for 5 seconds
unlabelledView post →By the way, I like the new look, the 21st century Z. To quote the film "Married to the Mob", it's a whole new you.
unlabelledView post →Besides New York Dolls & Buster Poindexter persona, remember David Johansen as The Priest in graveside funeral scene in Jonathan Demme's Married to the Mob. His appearance, voice & speaking manner still made his presence in film so memorable despite small role lasting just a few seconds. #RIP
unlabelledView post →Crazy that Married to the Mob and Silence of the Lambs are directed by the same filmmaker. MttM is an okay light hearted comedy but SotL is a masterpiece on a whole other level of filmmaking. #film #movies #filmmaking
unlabelledView post →I watched Jonathan Demme’s “Married to the Mob” today for the first time in decades. I had forgotten how much I love this movie. The cast is terrific — particularly Mercedes Ruehl — and Demme sure used good music throughout his films. Highly recommended
unlabelledView post →We're watching Married To The Mob. It's entertaining but it is ALL over the place. Matthew Modine plays a detective from an entirely different movie. Watch this scene where he gets called to go to investigate a murder, and we see his Wallace & Gromit lifestyle www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F4b...
unlabelledView post →Random Movie Recommendation Day 48: Married to the Mob (1988) I don’t know… everything is literally on fire, so here's something fun.
unlabelledView post →I first discovered this incredible song on the soundtrack for MARRIED TO THE MOB, the film Demme made right before SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.
unlabelledView post →Q Lazzarus was born in Neptune, NJ. She drove a cab in NYC and by chance, film director Jonathan Demme was a fare. Demme heard her music in the cab & used it in several films. Demme used "Goodbye Horses" twice. 1st time was in MARRIED TO THE MOB (1988) in this scene www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiyO...
