[b] Irish, why do you rate Raging Bull a mob movie? 
Also to others Mean Streets isn't that much of a mob movie either.

Carlito's Way
City of God For me if the mafia is in it all it's a mafia movie, and I is Carlito's way a mob movie? I thought it was like about spanish guys or something [/b][/quote]The Mafia is in plenty of movies, that doesn't make it one. Raging Bull for example is not a mob movie. It's a movie about the life of Jake LaMotta and his fall into becoming a loser, becoming paranoid and losing his loved ones. Just because Pesci's character has a connection to a mobster [Salvy] does not make it one. Hell, in that case I guess "Some Like it Hot" can be considered a mob movie.
