Lock Stock and two smoking barrels - hilarious but menacing - Vinnie Jones playing himself..lol

Enjoyed the Road to Perdition and seeing Tom Hanks as a baddie.

I'd have to say my favorite is Brother Orchid with Edward G. Robinson. I doubt many, if any, of younger generations ever heard of him!




That's my favorite too! For years I thought I was the only person who knew of it.

T also love "Angels with Dirty Faces" with Jimmy Cagney.

I just looked at a long list of gangster movies and found that I have only seen two on the list: Bonnie and Clyde, and Bugsy. Guess they are just not my taste. However, I may watch some now just to 'broaden' my education.

Scarface if Im in a raw mood but The Untouchables is a great great flick! Sean Connery was simply marvelous in that movie!

'Goodfellas' by a country mile followed by 'Once Upon A time in America'....

'Godfather' trilogy is not just gangster...its cine magic.

I'll have to add to my list. I watched Goodfellas today and I liked it so much that I went out this afternoon and bought the DVD.

Others have already mentioned my favourites - Donnie Brasco, The Untouchables and the Godfather movies - so here are some alternatives which I think deserve honourable mention:

Miller's Crossing
Carlito's Way
City of God
The Departed

Does Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid count?

I love The Sting, but I guess I would go with Bonnie & Clyde, the ballet of Death in the final scene is still awesome.

My favorite is "Goodfellas" with "A Bronx Tale" being a close second.

The Godfather trilogy is pretty much in a class by itself, but there have been a few others I liked (not all of them for the same reasons):

Donnie Brasco
Eastern Promises
Pulp Fiction
American Gangster

adored "The Sting" and I usually pause to watch a few minutes of "The Usual Suspects" everytime it happens to show up when I'm channel surfing (even though I've seen the whole movie at least three times lol). The original Ocean's Eleven is also sort of a cool movie and I'd recommend watching it if you've never seen it before, just from a "nostalgia" point of view lol
