No. To me there is a difference between Gangster and Mafia films. GF I & II are the greatest "Mafia" movies ever, with Goodfellas a close runner up.
As far as the greatest "Gangster" movie, I think that distinction goes to "Once Upon A Time In America"

"Business bad? Fuck you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? Fuck you pay me. Place got hit by lightning huh? Fuck you, pay me. It was beautiful!". ---Henry Hill in "Goodfellas"
