1. The Godfather... of course.

2. Where the hell is Once Upon a Time in America on your lists? That movie so so underrated.
 
Pulp Fiction and Resevoir dogs are among the only ones I truly like.

Generally speaking I don't like gangster movies, especially not ones set in Chicago during the prohibition or some horribly overdone scenario like that.

I guess Scarface was OK, but it sort of underlines the main problem I have with all gangster movies: it's basically a bunch of rich idiots with guns and you're counting down untill they all die or get put away.

I'd have to add Donnie Brasco to this list. Once Upon a Time was great btw, was going to mention it, but ya beat me to it Amor.

Most probably couldn't handle the 4 hours. =D Great film though.

Hell, I was surprised it took that many posts before the Godfather was mentioned.

Do Guy Ritchie films count? I think so.
 
good call on once upon a time.... the reason i love this movie is that it doesnt show gangsters in a glamourous light, leone didnt hold back, he showed them as a bunch of mysoginistic thugs and rapists.
 
so many older good gangster movies like orginal untouchables - this is my moms favorite movie subject/genre so i have been 'subjected' to many movie nights of this

may favorite has always been goodfellas though
 
mmmmm i'm just gonna pick 1.. KING OF NEW YORK (1990)........Christopher Walken plays a drug lord named Frank White who just got outta prison and has to take back control in NYC, acting along with Lawrence Fishburne, Wesley Snipes, David Caruso, and movie directed by Abel Ferrara.. i think this movie is really underrated
 
also Chopper (movie about a famous Australian crim) and El Mariachi (original 'Desperado')

Chopper is great, especially because it's quite closely built on the real events. Isn't that him in your avatar? ;)
