Mafia Films-Please List some of your recomendations

I have seen all the most popular Mafia and gangster films!! But i want to see some more. Could u lot please list some of ure favourites not including:

Godfather Trilogy
Scarface
Carlito's Way
Donnie Brasco
Mean St.'s
The Untouchables
Goddfellas
Casino
Bronx Tale
Analyze This

Please some rare mafia films that not many people have seen and which u think are worth watching

The Last Don, Once Upon a Time in America, Honor Thy Father, Capone, and The Valachi Papers (sort of). Do you watch The Sopranos? Okay, comrades, I'm tapped out...anybody else think of any??

just to clarify Scarface and Carlito way are not Mafia movies.

Gotti,
Hoodlum(kind of, and not that good but eh.)
The Bonnano Family
and i'll think of more or try to.
Anyway Welcome to the board and happy posting.

Is The French Connection considered to be a Mob movie? If so that is a really good show. I will try to think of some more.

They're not Mafia films but they are gangster!!

as i said:

Some great black and white classics
Public Enemy (Cagney)
White Heat "Top of the world,Ma"
Angels with Dirty Faces
Each Dawn I Die
Anything with Bogart and Cagney that involve crime are FABULOUS even in black and white

I dug Little Caesar , too, with Edward G. Robinson. A little cheesy and old, but a classic!

well Do Tony or Carlito have Gangs ???????????????????????????????????????

Lanskey with Richard Dreyfuss in it.

do not rent the movie Made! It has Puff Daddy in it for crying out loud...

Once Upon A Time In America is really good... So is The Death Collector, if that's even considered a Mafia/Gangster/Mob movie. Hrmph...

There is a movie called "Witness to the Mob" that I really liked but I think the rest of the world hated. I think Robert DeNiro had something to do with the making of it.

I know the "ONLY GODFATHER, GOODFELLAS, and UNTOUCHABLES ARE MOB MOVIES!!!11" crowd might not agree with me but I recommend:

Boondock Saints
Brother

Rent/buy these two, you'll thank me for it.

Johnny Dangerously
Mafia!
The Outsiders
The Godson

Okay, I thought of 2 more (though neither were that great, in my opinion): Billy Bathgate (Dutch Schultz's mob) and Sugar Time (which was really more about Sam Giancana's relationship with one of the Andrews sisters). I suppose technically they're mob/gangster related.

I forgot to recommend Mobsters.

The Outsiders is a mafia movie?

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Miller's Crossing and the comedy/parody that is Prizzi's Honor with Nicholson.

No, The Outsiders is NOT a mafia movie, not even a gangster movie. It's about growing-up, brother relationship and juvenile deliquency and following your dream. A very beautiful and touching movie by Coppola.

And from across the pond comes............ The Long Good Friday.
It does have a Mafia family in it, although they don't mention their name.

What about Miller's Crossing, Billy Bathgate (sorry just noticed it was mentioned) , also Once Upon A Time In America, I know it has been mentioned but this is a Classic, so it deserves another.

You've got me thinking now.... The Last Capone, not 100% on the title but it's about an illegitimate son of Al. Really crap, my brother saw the title and bought me it a few years ago.

Cotton Club.... a semi musical Mafia film.. it's actually quite good.

Thanks Fellas!!
Any more u think of> just write 'em in!!

To those already mentioned, I'd add "Key Largo," with Edward G. Robinson; "Al Capone," with Rod Steiger, and "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" with Jason Robards Jr. and George Segal (look fast for Jack Nicholson).

Here are some movies:

Miller's Crossing
the Silician

I liked "State of Grace." Anybody else seen that? What did you think?

I've been looking up old gangster films starring the ones i've come up with so far are:
White Heat
Angels with Dirty Faces
The Roaring Twenties
Public Enemy
High Sierra
Maltese Falcon
Scarface

Anyone know anymore?

diamonds are forever
Rat Pack
Sleepers(kind of. The acting was good but a very sick movie.)
Guys and Dolls(musical)
The Client
Luck of The Draw
Rounders
Kansas City
A Brooklyn State of Mind
Get Carter
Oscar
The Mexican(sucked. They made James Gandolfinni gay. What the hell is a mwtter with them.)
The Freshman

How about Midnight Run? Not really about the Mafia, although Dennis Farina makes a great mobster. The whole cast is great: DeNiro, Charles Grodin, Yaphet Kotto, John Astin.

Road to Perdition that is another mob movie.

Road to Perdition is another mobster movie.

How about GOTTI with Armand Assante!! Excellent portrayal of the late Don!I highly reccomend it!

Don Cardi

The Pope of Greenwich Village

King of New York with christopher walken..very good.

maybe someone mentioned it
but, Boondock Saints is quite good, decent gangster/mafia flick.

Last Don
--------

yep, that's a good one. Also check out "Brother". It's very good.

Go rent/buy Boondock Saints now on DVD~great mob action
^ hehe just realised about your signature, im tryin 2 find the dvd here in australia
Last DOn

haha yeah, man you'll love it!!!

Yes, I thought "State of Grace" was very good, with an over-the-top performance by Gary Oldman. One of those films that gets better with each viewing.

I dont think anyone has said this one but I could be wrong "Boss Of Bosses" with Chazz Palemintary. I know I messed his last name up

Thanks a lot- I watched White Heat and Honor thy Father the other day- both brilliant!!

Keep more coming!!

Two brilliant, though very different, films. Glad you liked them, Scarface. Was "Honor Thy Father" on broadcast TV in the UK? It was a made-for-TV film here, and I don't think it was ever released in theaters.

I bought it in a 3 Mafia DVD collection set!!
3 films on one disc-
Honor Thy Father/Family Enforcer/Mob War!!

Go here

For under $10-excellent deal!!

You're right! Wow, excellent deal indeed! I'm going to go for it just to replace my faded VHS copy of "Honor Thy Father."

What about 'King of New York'?

Your right on that one Carstonio, Dennis Farina did an excellent job as a mobster,especially the scene when he got into the limo to tell "The Duke" 2 things.

Love the ending too ( don't want to spoil it for everyone)

'Léon - The Professional'


...dont know, but it has the mafia in it. I like this movie.

Norman Stansfield: Bring me everyone.
Benny: What do you mean "everyone"?
Norman Stansfield: EVERYONE!
