I loved the godfather trilogy and also Goodfellas was good but I saw a movie a couple of weeks ago and I can`t remember the name anymore but it was also a maffia movie about how Bugsy siegel and Meyer Lansky started their gang by putting the two biggest Maffia families against each other. Brilliant movie with not so much known artists If I recall Correctly

Ganster movies, along with horror movies, are a genre that doesn't really do anything for me. Would The Sting count as a gangster movie? It's got a gang of con men and they go after a ganster. The first time I ever saw it I had just seen Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid a little while before for the first time. They were advertising The Sting like, "this time they just might get away with it." I nearly walked out of the picture at the end when Newman and Redford got shot. Fortunately I stuck around for the credits. I really liked the movie overall.

Hoodlum was pretty good, does anyone remember that LAURENCE FISHBURNE flick?

No questions asked, hands down, The Godfather followed by its sequel. Every other one is an also ran. GF has it all, cinematography, sweeping saga, theme music, great actors at theak of their careers in absolutely defineing roles. Quotes that can't be forgotten:
"Just make him an offer he can't refuse."
"Look what they did to him, they massacred my boy."
"Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes."
"This one time, Kay, I'm going to let you ask about my business."
"Fredo, you're my older brother and I love you, but don't ever take sides against the family again. Ever."
"Michael, the one who comes to you with the offer is the traitor."

Hey guys! Don't forget about all those classic ganster flics from the 30's with Bogie, Cagney, and Edward G.!!!!! Not that I don't love The Godfather trilogy, Goodfellas, and Casino

I gotta go with Godfather..closely followed by the second Godfather. I loved Robert Deniro in the second one.

I like Once Upon A Time in America, follow by the Godfather series

The Untouchables is my favorite The one with Kevin Costner and Sean Connery and Robert Deniro

got to be the Godfather triology nothing comes near it, i liked road to Predition but im a Tom Hanks fan anyway. :-) p.s. proberbly only the Brits may remember the Long good Friday one of the best british gangster movies.

The Godfather and its sequel are superb.

"Leave the gun. Bring the canoli."

I'm in the small minority who actually likes Casino better than Goodfellas, though the latter is still an excellent film.

Lotsa good films mentioned by others.

Godfather, and Casino.

What about Reservoir Dogs? is it also a bit gangsty? if it is. Then it's also one of my favourite movie. Love the opening scene.

im not to keen on the old/classic gangster films, but i love lock stock and two smoking barrels, and snatch,

great cast, british black humour at its best, all round great films!

cheers

I completely forgot about Reservoir Dogs. It's one of my favorite films.

It's definitely "gangstery", but not "Mafia-gangstery".

I'd also put Pulp Fiction in as a good "gangster"-type film.

I also can't believe I forgot one of my favorite classic gangster films: White Heat with James Cagney.

"Top o' the world, Ma!!!"

my fav moive is goodfellas
its a true story

Ooyy I forgot three movies mentioned above

Yup reservoir Dogs a brilliant movie... Gotta love that loonatic guy Steve Buscemi

And indeed Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch are Though a bit more modern then Al Capone and company they are full of really good English Humour
