Not a movie, but a mini series or full fledged tv show ala Narcos?

Myself….

Scarfo’s rise and fall

The rise of Carlo Gambino in the 1930s and whatever we know of his first ten years as Boss

Gemini Lounge. Could be a sleazy as all hell and gruesome show. Add in DiB since he was into porno with DeMeo, DiB is interesting in and of himself for the Geraldine Ferraro connection

Scarpa is prime material for a show.

Take any one of the 5 Families and do a long series beginning with its very first boss all the way to present times.

Just take the whole book "Blood & Honor" and make a movie out of it......Scorsese would or (could have) a field day w/ that one....also.".The Plumber" ..Vincent Falcone's story would be an interesting flick..

A series on The Outfit, starting with Accardo becoming boss running through Mo Mo getting hit in the basement.

Honorable mention-

1- Philadelphia- from Bruno getting hit through scarfo being convicted.

2- a series on Pittsburgh & Cleveland families beginning in 60s running through their war for Youngstown in the 70s & 80s to the big Pittsburgh mob trial of 1990. Cleveland’s big convictions came in the early 80s I believe.

Any one of those would be good, I just wish they would do it right, accurately as possible, and have the right cast. I don't want to see John Leguizamo as Gotti or Tyler Perry as Joey Merlino.

May be boring but a story on Joe Arcuri.

Serving under five bosses;

Vincent Mangano; Albert Anastasia; Carlo Gambino; Paul Castellano and John Gotti…

When was he made again?

Frank Cali never really fell, unless you count being killed by some lunatic as a "fall." The dude served very little time in his entire Mafia career.

There is a transcript of a 1964 conversation between Dalitz and the late heavyweight boxing champion Sonny Liston. “If you hit me, ni**er, you’d better kill me,” Dalitz is quoted as saying, “because if you don’t, I’ll make just one telephone call and you’ll be dead in 24 hours.”.

Excellent choice. Maybe people don't realize that back in his time Moe Dalitz was a two hoodlum. He and his Jewish-based mob ran a very lucrative crew, referred to as "The Little Jewish Navy" for their successful exploits as rum runners and bootleggers hauling branded booze in from over the Great Lakes in Canada to supply Cleveland and vicinity,

He cleaned hissed up real good after they made their investments into Vegas. After years out front he became a revered, respected businessman.

George Anastasia's Blood & Honor would be the perfect tale to tell. Another good one would be Gaspipe and the mafia cops

I would love to see any Pittsburgh story FOH because I’m biased, so I picked the Pgh-Cleveland Youngstown war era because I think any fan of that genre would find that interesting.

Dalitz cleaned up in more ways than one. He was drafted in WWII and ended up as a captain in the Army--organized and ran laundries. You can see his commendation from the Army in the Mob Museum in Vegas.

Easy, Montreal without question. Current times so it would be easier to film as well. No bullshit series like they had either

They could do a Godfather-style show on Vito Rizzuto, from his immigration all the way to his death. Oh and show the part where he teamed up with other Mafiosi in Sicily to invest in a $6 billion bridge connecting mainland Italy to Sicily to launder money. About how he was revered all over the world. I was disappointed in that show Bad Blood, what a failure, they didn't do Rizzuto any justice.

Yeah, just do a long running series on Giancana's life. Or Accardo, call it After Capone.

Agree that would be awesome. Outside of Casino, there's really nothing very good out there on the Chicago outfit, which is crazy to me.
