August 27, 20232 yr Great list. I'd add White Heat and Public Enemy, although these are more Prohibition era flicks and not mafia themed, but your title is Gangster Movies so I get a pass. 🙂 Richard Chafey i7-8700K @4.8GHz - 32Gb @3200 - ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero - EVGA RTX3090 - 3840x2160 Res - KBSim Gunfighter - Thrustmaster Warthog dual throttles - Crosswind V3 pedals MSFS 2020, DCS
August 27, 20232 yr Joe Pesci is the absolute greatest as a mobster, wise guy, etc. I love him, he's funny as *&#% ! This is a sketch from when he appeared on Saturday Night Live years ago, about a mobster shopping for a pinky ring (read his lips🤣)
August 28, 20232 yr I'd not seen 'Once upon a time in America'. I think I must have got lucky. 😀 I watched it last night. Four bleedin' hours! A 'meaningful glance' stretched out for seven minutes. Needless to say that after just over an hour I started skipping ahead hoping for change of scenery. Nope, 20 minutes later they were still in the bar plotting the next caper. 🤣 I can now recommend it to...I'll think of someone. The World is divided into two groups.

August 29, 20232 yr White Heat. That's one everyone knows the 'Made it Ma, top o' the world' line. I've not seen it. Until tonight. Marvelous! The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
August 29, 20232 yr Author Yeah, White Heat is a classic. Top of the world was a great exit line!

Makes me think of Red Heat -- a wild-eyed Arnold S. saying COCAI-ENUM! while dumping the contraband out of a false leg that he'd ripped from the perpetrator seconds before. It was a gangster movie. In a sort of different way. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB

August 30, 20232 yr I would put Scarface (1983) in there too, Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeifer at their best Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
August 30, 20232 yr How about a James Cagney movie. There must be one worthy of mention. The only one I ever saw was Angels with Dirty Faces. I really can't remember much of it but I think it was a good movie. Dugald Walker
August 31, 20232 yr While not the Italian mob, Scarface is a must see to me. What do folks think of "Carlito's Way"? As for series, everyone loves "The Sopranos", what do folks think of "Boardwalk Empire"? "I am the Master of the Fist!" -Akuma
August 31, 20232 yr Boardwalk Empire? Not familiar with that one. Off to Google etc. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
September 8, 20232 yr Moderator Heat with Robert de Nero and Al Pacino was pretty intensive. But for the best tough guy I always loved Lee Marvin. Ray (Cheshire, England).
