Favourite Gangster/Crime Drama Movies?

Again going with the favourite movie trend. In no particular order

Godfather I,
Godfather II (havn't seen III yet.)
Goodfellas,
The Departed (a little gangster though a slightly different 'style'.)
Scarface (I have to say the Godfather series was a lot better than this one. It was a little overrated.IMHO)
American Gangster
The Usual Suspects
Collateral

Leon The Professional
La Femme Nikita
Taxi Driver

Carlito's Way is 1,000 times better than Scarface. Besides Scarface pisses me off, the gangsta kids try and take Scarface as one of their own, when the real Scarface was Italian not Cuban, and a Mafiosi godfather, not a Cuban coke dealer.

And worst of all, the gangsta kids act like this Tony Montana ****er actually existed.

But Leon is it for me at the moment. I haven't actually seen The Departed. I plan on it soon though.

The gangster kids and many of the black community fail to see that the Scarface character is a tragic one, not some cool person that needs to be idolized and regarded as something to strive for.

Scarface loses everything, he's not some "G-street hustla" who's phukkin cool yo. Look closer, he's rarely really happy.

I've not seen Carlito's Way. I've to check it out. Departed is a good movie. It's sad that it took that long for Scorcese to get an Oscar, but well worth it nonetheless.

I want to see Dog Day Afternoon as well. It sounds interesting.

I know this is pretty much blasphemy, but I haven't gotten around to seeing any of the Godfather movies

Meh for some reason I don't like the Untouchables. Maybe because I have alot more respect for Capone then some ***** cop.

Now what I wanna see, is a Capone biopic done RIGHT.

Heres a great amd I think fairly unknown one

Al Capone
Starring Rod Steiger

Bugsy in 5 Seconds

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Rush Limbaugh again.

Awesome Movie Pics there Rush. I need to watch True Romance for sure.

How can you forget Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs... perhaps not exactly the same as italian mafioso movies, but gangster movies regardells.

Can't believe I was stupid enough to not put Pulp Fiction in here.

I'm surprised no ones put down 'Miller's Crossing' (Kind of a graphic clip)

The Godfather...
