    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

    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.

    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.

    Godfather 1 and 2
    Goodfellas
    The Usual Suspects
    The Way of the Gun
    Boondock Saints
    (yeah, I think it fits this category pretty well)
    Pulp Fiction
    Snatch
    Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

    Jeeze... a lot of good movies in this category. I haven't even scratched the surface.
    The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.

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