In your opinion what are the all time greatest gangster movies? My favorites would be:
Scarface
The Godfather 1,2,3
Goodfellas
Casino
Donnie Brasco
To name a few. I never saw Carlitos Way or Once Upon A Time In America, but I will soon.

The Godfather
The Godfather, Part II
Scarface (1983)
Goodfellas
Once Upon a Time in America
Pulp Fiction
The Godfather, Part III
Casino
Reservoir Dogs
And though I have seen it, I do not consider Heat (1995) a gangster film.

[/quote]When I first saw "Heat" the thought never even hit me that this was a gangster movie, and I still don't consider it as one. I find it a cops and robbers drama, which in reality it is seeing that Michael Mann had based the movie on his early TV show, L.A. Takedown.

[/b][/quote]i dare. scarface is a gangsta film. you guys' said it yourself. when you have people doing organized crime, that's gangster. when you have people doing drive bys and just shooting people at random, it's gangsta because none of it is thought and put together as to how it's going to happen. remember we discussed this about gangs and rappers and how they are gangstas. don't even tell me you think tony and manny were as smart and organized as michael and vito. no need to contradict yourself here. :p -Pat

gangsta :rolleyes: god
Lets not forget to mention the untouchables. That was a great movie.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
