What movies have you seen that you could recommend I check out. I know there were a few that came out in the 2000's that looks pretty good such as "This Thing of Ours." Yes I know it is a B movie but its cool to have something like that for a rainy day at home.
Anyone have anything that you have seen you think is worth watching?

As far as B movies go, i would recommend Chicago Overcoat and By the Gun (Patriarca Family).
If you want to watch some good Italian mob movies, i would recommend Anime Nere (to me, it's the best movie about the N'Drangheta). Netflix also recently made a good movie called Il mio Nome e Vendetta.

Don’t expect a full blown gangster movie, but more of a sober crime drama with a few nice bursts of violence set in 1980s New York. Loosely inspired by the infamous gas scam.
There’s even a character that is clearly based on Michael Franzese.

"The Brotherhood," (1968). Kirk Douglas as a Sicilian heritage Don in the US unwilling to adapt to modern Mob business methods, putting him at odds with his ambitious, modern-thinking younger brother (Alex Cord). Well acted.
"Honor thy Father" (1973"). TV movie based on Gay Talese's bio of the same name on Salvatore (Bill) Bonanno. Splendid cast for a low-budget film: Joseph Bologna as Bill; Brenda Vaccaro as his long-suffering wife Rosalie; Richard Castellano as his uncle; and the inimitable Raf Vallone as Joe Bonanno. This movie avoids all the "man of honor" BS that pollutes the Talese book and focuses on the "Banana War" and its pressures on family. Really good.
"Mafioso" (1963). Alberto Sordi stars as a Sicilian who immigrated to Milan, got a management position at the Fiat factory, married a blond, blue-eyed Northern Italian woman, Takes her and their two little girls for a long-postponed visit to his Sicilian village to meet his family for the first time. This is a truly hilarious comedy--until he gets sucked into a sinister, well-plottedl Mafia conspiracy. A great movie.

Just saw this on Tubi. Not bad at all given the time it was made.
