Best Gangster movies?
 

Huh?

Miller's Crossing! :D
Out of that list my fav is probably Goodfellas, not sure that's the best one of the lot, though...

goodfellas and sexy beast get my vote and casino would also if it where there.

I'm gonna rent and watch the movie that wins this poll.. ;)

I can't choose. there are too many I like on the list. :(

if I was threatened with concrete-tennis-shoes, I'd pick goodfellas though.

PS: I haven't seen Ghost Dog, but have been meaning to put it on my netflix queue. is it decent?

Time for a bit of vagueness now: About 10 years ago there were two films released at the same time, by the same director and both starring Christopher Walken, one of which was a gangster movie and the other one a vampire movie. I liked them both (although the vampire one is my preferred one), and the gangster one would get my vote for my favourite gangster movie if only a) I could remember its name, and b) it was one of the options in the poll.

Suicide Kings?

ghost dog is hilarious.

my vote would have to go to "american gangster." even though it's not out yet, i got ahold of a dvd quality bootleg last week and it is a-fucking-mazing. since it's not up there, though, i say "scarface."

Gangster one: The Funeral
Vampire one: The Addiction

voted The Godfather

haven't seen American Gangster

no time for listing at the moment

just a reprint / La Cosa Nostra

some mob comedies (some have some dramedy) worth seeing


Midnight Run
Broadway Danny Rose
Mad Dog and Glory (Murray/De Niro/Thurman)
The Freshman (Brando parodying his role as Don Vito=priceless cinema)
Some Like It Hot (the AFI ranks this as the #1 comedy of all-time...now that's a laugh)
Johnny Dangerously
Bullets Over Broadway
Prizzi's Honor
Family Business
Crimewave
Analyze This (skip Analyze That)
Suicide Kings
Be Cool
Get Shorty

american gangster isn't out until today, but somehow the dude who cuts my hair got a copy and started making copies for folks.

hmm, I picked Goodfellas and Scarface.

Although I think they're both overrated, but I like Goodfellas more, shame that I didn't get to watch the ending (disc fucked up)

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels should have been on that list
Layercake is good too
Snatch wasnt bad

never saw layercake

Actually, to be honest, I think Eastern Promises is the best gangster movie I've seen so far... But if i put it on the list, it'll outshine everything else... :P

I voted Goodfellas. best gangster movie ever

I personally LOVED ghost dog, but I know many who did not enjoy it.
It makes sense to watch it as if ghost dog was mentally ill. There is some seruiously funny shit in that, especially the mafia guy who loves rap

I found Lock Stock to be a bit dull, I don't like seeing movies about wanna-be mobsters.

I liked layercake better thn lock stock. good movie

coen powers activate

no country for old men

to me the Usual Suspects is not a gangster movie. it is a hesit movie, a movie about criminals/thieves. criminals are not automatically GANGSTERS.

To be a gangster movie you have to deal with organized crime families in some way, whether they be italian, japanese, irish, etc.

for that i also do not see Scarface (a movie I love) as a gangster movie

shit, of those, godfather wins.

though goodfellas is pretty fucking great too

now that scarface is it the original scarface or the brian de palma scarface?

you forgot a ton of great shit, for example


branded to kill



much better than "the departed", tssssssssssssssssssssssss.....
