[jinroh75]

you guys should check out The Prophet:
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1213205-prophet/

has a 97% rating on the rotten tomatoes meter. i didnt know what the heck this film was, but several customers at blockbuster kept asking the clerk for it so i asked him what the movie was and he recommended it. came back the next day and got a copy and it's friggin awesome. i've ordered the blu ray on amazon yesterday.

I really like Public Enemies to be honest. But I've got alot of these toted 'as the best' movies at home, and have been meaning to watch them all for AGES.

 

[Kross]

Scarface and Donnie Brasco

A thread about gangster movies ....

And nobodies mentioned the 1971 original "Get Carter".

Unforgiveable.

 

[Devil_666]

Get Carter (2000 Remake with Sylvester Stallone)

 

[hko]

Goodfellas number uno
Carlito's way
Casino

Just ordered Prophet, have high hopes for this.

 

[jonny88]

Get Carter (2000 Remake with Sylvester Stallone)

yes, plus Micky Rourke

 

[Agent23]

Aside from Godfather I and II, I go with Good Fellas.

 

[Reinhardt]

Road to Perdition

I really like Bronx Tale and what about American Gangster with Denzel. Also on the foreign front, Takeshi Kitano's Brother. That movie is so awesome to me, something
about Yakuza films.

scarface
king of new york

 

[Deeznutz6]

Menace 2 Society

 

[Something Sexy]

Did anyone mention Once Upon a Time in America?

 

[CelticPredator]

Menace 2 Society

That's a Gangsta movie. Not a Gangster movie.

I'd say Goodefellas too. That was the first gangster movie that really caught my attention when I was younger... too young to really appreciate the Godfather movies. Now I like both, but Goodfellas is just more in your face mafia brutality where as the Godfather seems more refined and civil, at least as refined and civil as you can be when you're talking about committing murder.

I still like both (for different reasons) and wont flip the channel if either are on.

Oldboy....enough said.

History of Violence and Eastern Promises. Last man Standing is a good one too.

 

[jonny88]

Knock Around Guys is another great one. simple story, and great cast.
