19. The Freshman (1990)

Carmine “Jimmy the Toucan” Sabatini (Marlon Brando, reprising his role in “The Godfather”) ensnares a first-year New York University film student (Matthew Broderick) in a scheme to serve endangered species for dinner at the very expensive and very mobile Fabulous Gourmet Club.

Broderick could end up dead or married to a mafia princess, or as Rodolfo Lasparri of Palermo, Sicily.
