I wouldn't call Bonnie and Clyde a mobster film. It's more of a couple on the run film (sub-genre of the Road Movie). After all, Bonnie and Clyde are in a gang but they are not part of organized crime.
I think there are a lot of reasons why people like mob films but one of the strong reasons is that American mob films hold up a mirror to both the American Family and to the American Dream. These two thing are at the centre of American culture.
