I love Miller's Crossing, but I'll agree it is a bit slower than the others. I'd like to see Sexy Beast on that list. Ben Kingsley is the most frightening 5'2" 110 lb man on the planet in that movie. But if you are keeping with American gangsters your list is pretty damn good.
I don't know if you could classify either of these as gangster movies but, True Romance and Leon:The Professional are a couple of great twists on the genre.
"I'm the anti-christ. You tell the angels up in heaven you never saw evil so personified as you did in the man that killed you."
Christopher Walken in True Romance
There's a great early role by James Gondolfini in it too. He delivers a hell of a monologue about the first time he ever killed somebody.
