Best Gangster Films

[rkw38]

That's a good classic list. I watched Donnie Brascoe angain Friday. I'd like to read the book to get a little more detail.

I know this post is five years old but Donnie Brasco is a great book. It goes into so much more detail than the movie. A continuation of the story is Donnie Brasco: Unfinished Business where he goes into a lot of details that he couldn't get into in the first book because of all the trials that were taking place. If you're interested in La Cosa Nostra, I highly recommend both books.

I give King of New York 3 out of 5 stars. Meh

I like any gangster film with James Cagney or Bogart. The movie "The Departed" was good & I thought the ending to that movie was cool. I like all those that have been listed except a few here & there.

Wow, this is an old thread. Love a good gangster movie. Godfather 1&2 are by far my favorites.

I can't believe there are people in this thread that said they didn't like Gangs of New York. That movie is in my top 3 easily.

L. A. Confidential and what about Bonnie and Clyde?
There was also Dillenger with Warren Oates.

:thumbsup: Bonnie & Clyde was & is a great movie. That movie even had Gene Hackman in it.

Very entertaining. Although I like Snatch a lot better.

Who doesn't love snatch?






Oh, I bet we're talking about two totally different things....

 

[Gramps]

Harlam Nights is the funniest gangster movie .

The best is Godfather 1 & 2

No black and white films at all on these lists?

Any gangster movie list that doesn't include the great "The Roaring Twenties" and "The High Sierra" is an incomplete list, IMO, JMO.

By far my favorite film, seen it 25-30 times. Don't know if I would classify it as a mob movie though, more about police corruption and Hollywood sleaze.

 

[Grand Vol]

I personally think it's hard to beat Scorsese flicks. Casino, Goodfellas and The Departed are easily my top three.

Goodfellas is simply amazing.
