Married to the Mob (1988). A mobster's wife hates her lifestyle, but gets a chance to change it when her husband is killed - if the Long Island mob and the FBI let her.

Man, this was just way more fun than it had any right to be. Not really a comedy, but not-not a comedy either, it balances subterfuge hijinks and inspector gadget-esque set-ups with genuine explorations of the limited options available to women in oppressive dynamics. Plus, y'know, Michelle Pfeiffer, my beloved. 8/10.

On August 19th, Jonathan Demme’s absolutely sublime 1988 comedy Married to the Mob celebrated its 35th anniversary. The film tells the story of a former bridge-and-tunnel mob wife (Michelle Pfeiffer), who seemingly never felt comfortable in such a role, trying to find herself with a fresh start in the Big City. Married to the Mob features an all-star supporting cast—Matthew Modine, Dean Stockwell, Mercedes Ruehl, Alec Baldwin, Oliver Platt, Nancy Travis, Joan Cusack, Chris Isaak and more!—all of whom seem to be having a blast.
