Public Enemy's (the newer one)

[Flesh-n-Bone]

Generic choice, but I gotta go with Scarface. Legendary on so many levels and with the right mix of story and sensational violence in it. I watched Godfather years ago and wasn't as into it, largely because I was still in that phase of wanting movies just to see explosions and blood.

[Trillest]

Goodfellas is and will always be one of my most favorite movies of all time. I feel sorry for those of you have not ever watched this masterpiece. You're missing out.

[Tacymist]

Been on a Godfather kick lately so I chose Part II. I love the split narrative, it's like having two movies in one. =)

[Payne Killer]

I voted for The Godfather Part II, but, Goodfellas also has a special place in me. I can't choose between the 2.

[Zello]

Scarface and Goodfellas

[Mister Pink]

Goodfellas. I think the film encompasses everything that makes a good film or gangster film good. FBI agents have said it was a very real portrayal of the kind of criminals depicted. The cast is fantastic offering unique and powerful performances. On the production end, we were treated to that famous Cocacobana scene steady-cam shot. Also, the fact it's based on real people and real events makes it more hard hitting.

 

 

 

Although the list is good, there's still some classic films worthy of a mention.. The Departed, Gangs of New York being two.

Its hard to choose. Godfather I and II are pretty good. i've watched Goodfellas a million times, it never gets old. but ill go with Scarface.

i dont think you can choose between the 2. I just consider them one movie

 

 

OP: you left off Across 110th Street, Capone, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, The Death Collector (joe pecsi first mob movie) A Bronx Tale (which i think is the 2nd best mob movie after The Godfather)

 

 

Also there is a lot of modern movies other than the departed. granted a lot are crap, but there are a few good ones..ie Gotti Hbo movie (which is a classic), Brooklyn Rules (Terrance Winter ) State of Grace, Kill The Irishman, Killing them Softly. Casino

 

Also i wouldn't consider Scarface a mob movie, drug cartels are a different field. Maybe Carlito's Way, but not scarface.

Added the Departed for you.

 

I voted for Untouchables. Great all around cast, and it's good to see a movie where the criminals aren't treated as anti-heroes.

Thanks

Nah, I can choose between the two. Although the first one was great and I love it, I just enjoy the second one a little bit more.

i just consider it 1, cause its just from one book lol

Goodfellas, followed by The Godfather and Scarface. You didn't mention Donnie Brasco, which is one of my favorites as well.

[Verdant]

Goodfellas followed by Scarface.

 

"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States."

 

A Bronx Tale is one of my favorites too.

[TheOneLibertonian]

SCARFACE!!!!

Goodfellas and The Godfather have to be the best detailed Gangster films, also enjoyed Scarface!

[JOEsAGGRESSIVE]

The Godfather.

Marlon Brando was sensational.

[Fonz]

Not a lot of love for Once Upon a Time in America round here? It's one of my all-time favourite films, but I had to go with the Godfather part II, since we can only choose one…

Casino is great, but it just feels too much like a Goodfellas rehash, especially Joe Pesci's Nicky, who acts exactly like his Tommy from GF.

[Jerking For Soup]

Goodfellas was awesome. I watched some scenes out of the Godfather, I also watched Scarface. The soundtrack was awesome.

[TommyAngelo]

Donnie Brasco.

[Jriv]

Other than the Godfather, i really enjoy the film, American Gangster.

[hoopz71]

Outwith the Godfathers etc I like the "TRESPASS" with Ice t, ice cube.
