I enjoy The Godfather I & II. Goddfellas is good too. I really can't put a finger on a favorite. I just enjoy watching those type of flicks.

Scarface (it is close enough) by far for me.

Then Godfather I, then goodfellas, then GF II, then CASINO.

Oh, and is Pulp Fiction considered a mafia movie?

Scarface is the best movie of all time!

Scareface is definetly not a mob movie. But the best mob movies are The Godfather and Goodfellas. The narrative alone by Ray Liotta lifted Goodfellas.

The most accurate film about the mafia is Goodfellas. It is good but I still think The Godfather is the most recognized and creative mob movie created. Everything from the script, plots, costumes, cast, director and film score was supurb.

Even tho I know this has been asked before, I don't mind answering again. GF1 & GF2. I've been a fan since I first saw it!!! Don't know if it can ever be topped!!!!

I can't choose only ONE film. I love the 3 GF films and Once Upon a Time in America more than the others I've seen.

Yes, Scarface, the De Palma version, is NOT a mob movie. Tony Montana is alone, he's a business man and has no organized mob which whacks ppl on his orders, he "just" make business with cocaine. On the contrary, the original Scarface from 1932 WAS a mafia movie.

OK, Scarface isn't a mob movie, but it is the best.. :p

But that doesn't answer my question. Could Pulp Fiction be considered a mafia movie?

Scarface is the best movie of all time!

Goodfellas rocks my vote for the best mob movie. Don't get me wrong, I love the Godfather like a fucking maniac, but I just LOVE Goodfellas... I've seen Goodfellas fifty two fucking times!!!

GF trilogy is my all-time favorite. But "Goodfellas" is the best Mob movie. I think of GF Trilogy as a film about a family's evolution, with the Mafia as a defining milieu. But I don't think of it as a "Mob" movie per se. To make an analogy: "Gone With the Wind" is a film about a family's evolution, with the Civil War as a defining milieu. But it isn't a Civil War movie.

Good analogy, Turnbull! I'd have to say The Godfather is my favorite among, shall we say, mob-related flicks... Goodfellas and Casino are also in the top 5.

Hi Guinea,

I agree that GF 1 & 2 are the best and probably will never be topped!!!! . But I've learned to "never say never" in life.

However, saying that, it's been over 25 years later and I still haven't seen a "gangster" movie, (Or possibly any movie) that excels in every aspect (Direction/Producing/acting/musical score, etc.) that comes anywhere near exceeding the GF.

The Godfather, followed by GoodFellas. I haven't seen GF2 for sooooooooooooo long, so Casino would be over it too. I don't think The Godfather will ever be topped.

Only after the last tree has been cut down
Only after the last river has been poisioned
Only after the last fish has been caught

Then you will find that money cannot be eaten.

How can you top Goodfellas and The Godfather, but I have to say I was disappointed in Casino, so many parts in it seem to come right out of the Goodfellas script.
