Just wondering what everyone thought of Boondock Saints? I know many who love this movie but no one has put it on their lists so far.. just curious as to people's opinions.

weran_everything you like The Godfather Part III better than Casino, Scarface and Hoffa?! I like The GF III too, very much so but not as much as Hoffa perhaps maybe, Scarface for sure and no way near as much as I love Casino.

Goodfellas
White Heat
Bugsy
Little Caesar
The Public Enemy

I think of the GF Trilogy as a story of a family, with the Mafia as the defining milieu--but it's not a gangster movie per se. To make an analogy: "Gone With the Wind" is a movie about a family with the Civil War as a defining milieu--but it's not a Civil War movie per se. "Mean Streets" almost made my list--a very great film that's even better than "Goodfellas" in some ways--but
I think of it more as a story about friendship than about the Mob.

Turnbull :

1) Needless to say how happy I am to see names like Little Caesar, White Heat, and The Public Enemy in this thread. Not only great films, but some are also groundbreaking in terms of cinema..."The Public Enemy" is one of the first movies where real machine guns were used during filming. (the shootout in the street corner for example)...White Heat features some technical police methods never seen on film before. etc.


Is White Heat a mob film or a gangster film? or maybe just a crime film? do you make a distinction?

2)"I think of the GF Trilogy as a story of a family, with the Mafia as the defining milieu--but it's not a gangster movie per se."

Can u say the same thing about the Sopranos?

----

Other notable movies Id like to add (by year):

Scarface: The Shame of the Nation (1932)
The Petrified Forest (1936)
Dead End (1937)
Angels With Dirty Faces (1938)
The Roaring Twenties (1939)
Key Largo (1948)
The Asphalt Jungle (1950)
Point Blank (1967)
Get Carter (1971)

5.Godfather Part II
6.Goodfellas
