Best mafia movies
Best mafia movies, whats your favorites?
I own ScarFace Godfather Goodfellas Donnie Brasco and Once upon a time in america tell me your favorite mafia/mod/gangster movie... I'm looking for some good ones to add to my collection. when Casino CE comes out, i'll get that. |
Casino is missing from that list.
And the made for TV movies Last of the Dons Mafia Wife (the Valerie Bertinelli/Eric Roberts movie of Joe Bonnano's marriage and problems) For a good spoof there's My Blue Heaven |
Most of these aren't what would typically be called "gangster" movies, but they're close enough in my opinion.
Training Day The Untouchables Knockaround Guys (real gangster movie, and decent but certainly not the best by any standards) |
Does "City of God" count? It seemed rather goddfellas-ish to me.
|
How about Carlito's Way. If i remember correctly it was pretty decent.
For a spoof I got a kick out of the movie Mafia. Maybe that's cuz I'm Italian, and although it was a spoof, I couldn't help noticing the things that are SOOO true i.e. Kid backtalking to Mom. Older brother smacks kid upside head and says "Don't talk to Ma that way". Mother smacks brother upside the head and says "Don't hit your brother." God, I love Italian displays of affection :) |
Bronx Tale
Hoodlum Casino Boondock Saints (kind of) |
Innocent Blood - A vampire/mob movie.
|
we're missing the obvious here: MAFIA
such a good movie |
It's obvious, but to ignore Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction here would be criminal (no pun intended). Also Godfather II is the peak of the trilogy for me, part 3 is not so great however. True Romance has some great mafia scenes as well with Christopher Walken. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and the sequel Snatch feature UK mafia. I also really enjoyed the mafia comedy Made.

Road to Perdition
Tis a great movie. |
The Long Good Friday
|
Godfather 2
Carlito's Way Untouchables King of New York Harlem Nights Chingoo (Friend) Korean mafia movie |
My favorites:
Donnie Brasco Goodfellas Godfather I & II Casino Once Upon a Time in America Carlito's Way Untouchables Road to Perdition On the Waterfront Chinatown I think Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Training Day, and City of God were all great, but don't really strike me as mafia movies. If those were being included, then Usual Suspects and L.A. Confidential should be thrown in too. |
Miller's Crossing - best Coen brothers movie, ever.
Donnie Brasco - -probably more of an undercover police movie but it's the inside the mob movie-- On the Waterfront - a classic State of Grace - All about the Westies (the irish mob) this movie was brilliant -with an exceptional cast ---- Comedy - Analyze This Mickey Blue Eyes |
Goodfellas- best ever
Casino - very close second Donnie Brasco - distant third |
My favorite mob movie is The Untouchables,
I also liked Godfather I, Scar Face, and Casino Although a little of topic, I like The Sopranos just as much as any movie I've seen about the mob. |
Some of my other favorites that haven't been mentioned yet are:
The Warriors The Wanderers, not too gangstery Blood in Blood out -Prison gang type. |
Mobsters - with
Christian Slater as Charlie 'Lucky' Luciano, Patrick Dempsey as Meyer Lansky, Richard Grieco as Bugsy Siegel, and Costas Mandylor as Frank Costello. |
OMG.. who can forget the Scott Baio and Jodie Foster in Bugsy Malone with the cream pie guns!!!!

Three hitman movies:
"Prizzi's Honor", a really good film. "Backtrack" - because I like the cast. This movie is sometimes edited for TV; whole scenes deleated. yuck! "The Mechanic" a C. Bronson film. good story, good Bronson. |
