The Untouchables is one of my favourite movies of all time. You can add The Godfather Trilogy, Goodfellas, Casino, Road to Perdition, Carlitos Way, Donnie Brasco.....

Goodfellas because it was the first one I saw and well I've liked it more than the all the others unless you counted Godfather I & II as one film. [edit]Just remembered City Of God and that may actually be my new favourite.[/edit]

Others would be
Scarface
Donnie Brasco
The Untouchables
Once Upon A Time In America
Casino
Carlitos Way
Snatch
King Of New York

That's all I can think of right now.

On another note, is City Of God getting a DVD release?

Donnie Brasco
LA Confidential.

definaly goodfellas and the godfather....but that goes without saying :rolleyes:

American History X, just saw it on friday, and it is fu<king brilliant!

byte · 23-03-2003 3:13am

Yea, Goodfellas without a doubt. Pulp Fiction worthy of a mention too.

Venom · 24-03-2003 12:36am

Goodfellas gets my top vote as well though the movies listed so far are all kick ass as well. All bar Scarface, as although a good movie is is so very dated today where the others to me seem ageless classics.

Carpo · 24-03-2003 4:54am

I'm surprised Millers Crossing hasnt got a mention yet. Class Coen Bro's film

aine · 24-03-2003 10:19am

well the godfather trilogy aside id have to say Carlitos way or goodfellas! predictable or what?

ozpass · 24-03-2003 10:28am

My favourites have all been mentioned above (Scarface, Donnie Brasco, Godfather Part II)....

I watched 'Knockaround Guys' on Saturday and can highly recommend it. The bit where Taylor (Vin Diesel) is laying beats on the redneck makes the hairs on the backs of your arm stand on end. "500 Fights" - Class. :cool:

State of Grace is a classic NYC ganster movie,

one of Gary Oldman's best performances ever. and Ed harris and sean Penn are great aswell.

the last scene is a beautifully done in slo-mo

if you havent seen it yet its worth a watch.

yeah, that's most of them mentioned! I just spotted my vintage favorite in golden discs. THE KILLING was made in the 50's, about a heist, by guys wearing black suits, which goes wrong......told in flashback! -sound familiar? it was one of tarantino's favorites too!
It was kubricks second movie , but i'm open to correction on that point....

Nemici · 25-03-2003 6:11pm

maybe slightly pushing the bounderies of ganster but there is a classic crime movie called assualt on precinct 13, its kind of a siege thing with a really funky sevenities sound track - lots of tension and stylish direction - give it a go.........

Hey.love all the films mentioned above

Did anyone see "The Krays" bout ronny and reggy Kray in 60s London
Might not have had a big budget but was a good film.

If we are talking real old movie classics How about "Angels With Dirty Faces",staring James Cagney..."Top of the world ma"...Class.
Also the Ealing Classic "The Ladykillers" with Alec Guiness,Herbert Lom and Peter Sellers
