I have bee looking at some of the films people have recommended, I want to add to my collection, but can't really afford to buy alot.

Out of the list below, which ones would you think Iwould like the most. I love Godfather, Scarface & Goodfella type of movies most. Though I like most other kinds of films.

The Gang thatcouldn't shoot straight
Sleepers
The Conversation
Little Caeser
The Public Enemy
Miller's Crossing

Any more recommendations?

Sleepers is damned good if you like that kinda thing. And being a Goodfellas/Godfather/Scarface kinda man, I'm sure you do.
If you're not sure, rent them first, then you'll know for sure.
If you've not seen Casino or Carlito's Way I guarantee you'll love them, they're the sorta follow-ups to Goodfellas and Scarface respectively. Get those ASAP man.

Thanks also Raymondo UI think I will rent Sleepers, I have heard it isn't as good as it should be with all the huge stars in it, but I will judge that for myself. Cheers.

For something different, see From Dusk Till Dawn- one half crime, one half horror.
Desperados vs. Vampires
Great stuff.
Narc, Snatch, Blade Runner, Escape from New York, Ronin, and Full Metal Jacket are some other great, offbeat movies.
Unless you're one of those people that only watches high-brow Oscar winning stuff.

Of the films you posed, I'd choose "Little Caeser," which is a great classic, one of the all-time great gangster films. Memorable performance by the great Edward G. Robinson.

E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

My favourite film out of the ones you posted is The Conversation, but it's not Mafia-related at all, so don't know if you'd like it.

Whats it about? All I know is it is one of the few films John Cazele is in. Worth watching?

A surveillance expert delves too deep into a disturbing case. Hackman and FFC (yes, Coppola!) have a field day!
