2. LOL, I guess the thread is over now. Unless you consider Pulp Fiction a mob

movie!

I don't know? Is it?

[hlthe2b]

3. yeah.. I sort of think it is...

There are more... Go ahead and run the list and then let folks narrow down the top ten. Perhaps some are "purists" and only want Italian mob?

5. Italians only? and Lose Once Upon a Time. No No..

I loves the jewish mobsters.

Oh Bugsy. Don't forget Bugsy.

7. Lost the Sergio Leone? Blasphemy!

the long version is my favorite!

[mucifer]

26. Don't forget "Murder Inc" Peter Falk was nominated for an oscar

as a truly creepy Jewish mobster.

6. You know this stuff - and I don't disagree.

Road to Perdition is a little weak for the list.

[CBGLuthier]

4. Millers Crossing

The original Scarface
The Untouchables
The ST. Valentine's Day Massacre a 1967 Corman film with a great cast

[CBGLuthier]

8. Payback

Lee Marvin of course. One of those syndicate style movies where ethnicity is downplayed and it is all a business.

Based on Richard Stark (Donald Westlake's) novel The Hunted

14. Point Blank

Mel Gibson was good in Payback, it was easy to believe he could survive being shot in the back.

[CBGLuthier]

17. That's right, Point Blank

Should have double checked. I read the novel for the first time recently and am due to see the movie again.

9. Batman (the new series)

[BlueIris]

10. Does Billy Bathgate count?

I really love that one.

13. Hell yea! I forgot that one.

maybe 7-9 in there!

A Bronx Tale

It's difficult to find stuff with imdb Keyword search

24. Bronx Tale is one of my favorites.

I have seen it 4-5 times over the years.

12. Aw, man? Little Caesar?

Edward G. Robinson


Little Caesar is a 1931 Warner Bros. Pre-Code crime film. It tells the story of a hoodlum who ascends the ranks of organized crime until he reaches its upper echelons. Directed by Mervyn LeRoy, the film stars Edward G. Robinson and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.. The story was adapted by Francis Edward Faragoh, Robert N. Lee, Robert Lord and Darryl F. Zanuck (uncredited) from the novel by William R. Burnett. Little Caesar was Robinson's breakout movie; it catapulted him to stardom.

19. HEY! I SAID "LITTLE CAESAR"!

Maybe you didn't hear me.
That was the original gangster/mob movie.
All else comes from "Little Caesar".
Period.

15. "Missing".

[NightWatcher]

16. Corky Romano?

[Kaleva]

18. Rise of the Footsoldier, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Watch the first one for blood and the second for lots of laughs.

[siligut]

20. Rocknrolla too

So many good British gangster movies, glad we aren't limited to Italian mob films.

[Kaleva]

22. I'll have to see if that's on NetFlix!

[Stinky The Clown]

21. I would add Godfather III to the basic list

Actually, there's the Godfather trilogy and then there's everything else.

Among the "everything else" . . . . .

Little Caesar from 1931, with Edward G Robinson
Angels With Dirty Faces, 1938, Jimmy Cagney.
