Top 5 Gangster Films

[Buff]

I haven't seen Scarface or The Godfather, I really need to correct that.

1. Goodfellas
2. The Usual Suspects
3. Casino
4. The Departed
5. A Bronx Tale

[DownhillGoat]

Not sure if it falls under the realm of "gangster", but about the only thing I'd add that hasn't been mentioned is Layer Cake.

[Nammer403]

God Father 2
Goodfellas
Departed
Gangs of New York
Casino

and for those who know
Young and Dangerous Series haha

Bonnie and Clyde deserves some love! Not particualarly a gangster film I suppose in some ways, but it is most definitely a favorite of mine.

[Kiran403]

Other than what's already mentioned I would add Paid in Full and Menace II Society

This thread needs more Cagney and Bogart.

NM Double post.

1. The Godfather
2. Casino
3. Gangs of New York (one of those "movies I never wanted to watch but glad I did" kind of things)
4. American History X
5. Menace 2 Society

HM to: 25th hour, Boyz in the Hood, American Gangster, Layer Cake, Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, Blow, Scarface.

I'm hoping that the Thread title isn't misleading me into thinking that we're going beyond Mafia type movies. Hence Menace and History X.

[Harry Lime]

Gangs of New York
King of New York (Incredible performances from Walken and Fishbourne)
Carlito's Way
Miller's Crossing
Angels With Dirty Faces (actors like Cagney don't exist anymore)

Tried to ignore the repeats. Challenge to watch My Blue Heaven after watching Goodfellas next time. Think of it as part one and two. Trippy.

Goodfellas
Godfather
Godfather II
Casino
Scarface

[SportsJunky]

I remember seeing a movie about the Kray bros when I was a young man. I think it was pretty good.

3. The Departed
4. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
5. Snatch

[getbak]

I stuck close to Mafia or Mafia-like drama films with my list. With a broader selection of any gang type movie I might give heavy consideration to City of God...and Kung Fu Hustle.
