On this, the 20th anniversary of the HBO debut of The Sopranos (1.10.99), I’m trying to understand why my all-time favorite moment might be the one in which a seething Tony orders that low-rent Millennial guy in Artie Bucco‘s restaurant to take his baseball cap off. I guess it’s because, for me, the baseball-cap guy represents all the Millennials whose cinematic preferences have all but turned theatrical exhibition into a superhero waste dump. 2nd favorite: Paulie and the cat. 3rd favorite: Junior tips off Tony that Richie Aprile is planning to move against him. 4th favorite: Tony beats the hell out of a guy who insulted Meadow. 5th favorite: Tony chews out Richie for using New Jersey garbage truck drivers to push cocaine.
