mafia films

[mercmanuk]

what would be the best gangster/mafia films of all time,my nieces homework!!!

 

[V8mate]

I don't know 10

 

[imadoofus]

With what criteria?

I suppose some would nominate that yawn-fest of The Godfather and all it's sequels.

Road To Perdition?

 

[Shude]

Goodfellas is pretty good and it's (allegedly) based on a true story.

Depending on how old your niece is she probably shouldn't watch any mafia/gangster movies...

 

[BlackC55]

Once upon a time in America.

The ganster film that started them all. Fantastic it is too

 

[sweeney]

married to the mop... was clean

 

[crammy69]

"Gangster No1" starring Roddy McDowell and Paul Bettany
"Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels"
"The Untouchables" ( My Fave!) all about Al Capone
"The road to Perdition" - Tom Hanks
"Casino"
"A New York Tale" - Robert DeNiro
"Layer Cake"
"The Public Enemy" - 1931 - Jimmy Cagney
"Donnie Brasco" - Pacino
"Gangs of New York" - Di Caprio
"Things to do in Denver when your dead" - Andy Garcia

[neilrr]

Scarface, White Heat, Public Enemy, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs.... loads more to chose from.

 

[tlzeebub]

American Gangster, true story also

 

[recycled]

gangster/ juice,boyz in the hood, do the right thing, heat,tresspass

mafia/ goodfellas, casino , untouchables and scarface

 

[Defiant]

Oh, dear. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

The Long Good Friday.

Although Layer Cake is my favorite, probably about four or five on my personal list.

An excellent crime thriller is Charlie Varrick. My personal #1.

 

[Mudster]

The Italian Job No not the American Remake.....the original....

 

[Ade B]

Get Carter would be in my top 10. A few others:
Millers Crossing, Carllitos Way, Donnie Brasco

So many films, so little time
