Pulp Fiction barely missed the list.

Have one I have not seen in over 40 years but I remember it was pretty good.

The Phoenix City Story. The town was corrupt gangster took it over. Moven in gambling, whores and other good stuff. I want to see if I can find it somewhere

Richard Kiley starred the Man From La Mancha

A "B" movie made memorable by Steiger's performace. He was the greatest screen actor of his generation, and his "Capone" was his finest role.

No love for Edward G as Johnny Rocco, TB?

Steiger was something much better when he was younger. Not crime related but he was fantastic in the Pornbroker.

Thought he was great in Brother orchid. Fantastic in the Sea wolf.

Thought he was miss cast in the ten commandments. But, he was the only one in that movie who spoke Hebrew in that movie.

Much love for Eddie G. as Johnny Rocco in "Key Largo," PB. He made Caesar Enrico Bandello ("Little Caesar") look like a choirboy. Though I always liked "Key Largo," it's a bit on the stagy side, with Barrymore hamming it up.

IMO, Robinson is probably the all-time most underrated screen actor. The gangster roles, good as he was in them, tended to overshadow his other performances. He was just brilliant in "Double Indemnity." He was the only reason to watch "Cincinnati Kid" and "Soylent Green." As for "The Ten Commandments," well...

'Nyah, where's yer Redeemer now, nyah, nyah..."

Watched mean streets the other day. Definitely the best Scorsese film.

Was it, why did the shy loan the deNiro character the money? I forget how much money did he loan that low life?

Did Kietel character vouche for him? If he did keitel had to pay if his friend did not pay.

They could not find a stripper with better tits?

I just saw a YouTube on it. I guy like that can get 2000 dollars from a shy? No way some one they know who pays who has bored money from them for years has to vouche for him like keitel.

I did har of one instance where a kid that never borrowed from a shy before got a thousand dollar loan from a shy. The kid was known in the neighborhood as a thief. He kept a low key profile. He was approached and asked to do a favor for a capo. If he does the favor he would be trusted from from now on. Or he would be killed to keep what ever he did a secret.

There was an old man in the neighbor hood who knew the shy forever. Big time gambler and trusted within the neighborhood. He even worked with Capone in chicago for a while.

Any way that guy vouched for the kid. Shy gave the kid a thousand dollar loan.

The kid was making payments on time for a month. Then went to see the shy to make another payment. The shy had a club and he also took over a bakery right next to the club. The shy was in the bakery alone. Kid paid him then shot him dead.

They did not kill the kid they gave him another thousand for that work. Now the kid as young as he was was respected.

Once Upon a Time in America is vastly underrated. It's not necessarily my favorite movie, but it is the greatest movie I have ever seen.

1. GoodFellas
2. The Departed
3. The Godfather
4. Casino
5. Wolf of Wall Street (A little different, but still plenty of crime)

And a wonderful soundtrack to go with it..

I did not like once upon a time in America. All it was to me was a series of scenes not a free flowing story.

Sounds to me that you may have watched the shorter edited version.....which is extremely confusing.

The uncut version is the one that you should watch. Flows a lot better and makes much more sense.

Personally one of my favorite mob movies.

Yeah, are you sure you didn't watch the American released 2 hour one? I heard that was terrible and convoluted and left a bad taste about the movie in many people's mouths. The full version is nearly 4 hours and is the quintessential crime epic in my opinion. The Godfather is a masterpiece and an utterly stunning movie, but I feel Once Upon a Time has a much larger scope and it just feels greater than The Godfather, yet I probably still like The Godfather better.

The one I saw was in a movie house and I don't remember it being anywhere near 4 hours long.

I will try and get the longer version. But I can't see myself sitting down and watching the whole thing. It has to be great for me to Watch for that long.

I got that western from the 1950s that had a vampire in it. I probably never watch it. I just like to know I have it.

Three hours and 50 minutes long just bought it on amazon instant video. Brother now I just got to watch in the middle of the night seems like a good time

They're actually trying to reconstruct some old film and put together a 270 minute version I believe.

GOODFELLAS
BRONX TALE
KEY LARGO
PULIC ENEMY
FORT APACHE BRONX

In no particular order:

A Bronx Tale
The Godfather Trilogy
The Departed
Goodfellas
Mean Streets
Casino
Gotti ( Assante's performance makes it great.)
The Pope Of Greenwich Village
Across 110th Street
What Doesn't Kill You ( A gritty and realistic film on everyday criminal life.

Don't say the good father trilogy. I'd you do the third fucks up the whole.

Better say Godfather 1 and 2.

Across 110 street pissed me off because Tony Franciosa died in it. The music in that movie was real bad.

I moved out of Harlem in 1969 but I was there every day for a round three years after that.

Would you call the black guys who helped Franciosa associates?

I bet you I know where the guy got the machine gun. In long island a guy owned a house that had a tree growing in his living room. He had a false wall that opened up he had an arsenal in that place. Everything including machine guns.

1. Once Upon a Time in America (the greatest movie I've seen, not my favorite)

2. Goodfellas (my favorite movie)

3. The Departed

4. Godfather I & II (I won't separate them)

5. Jackie Brown/Se7en (Can't decide!)

Pulp Fiction would be next

If the Big Lebowski counts, it becomes #5 lol. Hilarious.

Close (no order): A Bronx Tale, American Gangster, Training Day, Heat, Reservoir Dogs, Fargo, American Psycho, Raging Bull, Casino, Donnie Brasco, Carlito's Way (underrated), Scarface, North by Northwest, The Insider, and if war movies count: Apocalypse Now & Full Metal Jacket.
