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

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.

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

Although a little of topic, I like The Sopranos just as much as any movie I've seen about the mob.

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.
