Best film by genre: Gangster. 12:53 - Jun 7 with 7118 viewsPommyhoop

Following on from Ageds Horror thread..Gangster films..

I know there are some classics out there ..The Godfather's, Long Good Friday.But Carlto's Way is my favourite Gangster film .Could be the music, probably the acting( Penn and Pacino are outstanding) but for me it blows Goodfellows out of the water..

Carlitos way is a great film, but for me once upon a time in america edges it as my favourite.

Very obvious of course but The Godfather probably is the one for me.

2nd best in American Gangster films for me is the much forgotten Donnie Brasco,
Again ,another one that blows Goodfellows out the water. No glamour ,Lefty is trying to smash open a parking meter FFS .Great film.

Good to see Donnie Brasco on people's lists.

The Mesrine films are excellent, though the scenes set in London are a bit corny. Vincent Cassel is amazing.

Any of those gangster movies based around 1920's/30's hoodlums.
Angels With Dirty Faces an old black and white classic still works for me and if it classifies as a gangster film, The Sting, one of my all time favourite films. Never tire of watching that.

There aint half been some clever bastards.

Get Carter.
Snatch and lockstock are good, obviously godfather, goodfellas, carlitos way but to name a few in the mafia gangster genre. New(ish) films American gangster, public enemies and only God forgives also need a shout.

Is the film noir genre classed as Gangster? I'd go for one of them if they are - Hang My Gallows High/Out of the Past if they are otherwise I'm left with Bugsy Malone or Bonnie and Clyde as the only ones I've watched

Loads of great gangster movies mentioned on this thread,the best overall is The Godfather but only because its a trilogy.
For the best one off movie nothing touches Goodfellas.
Here's one of over a dozen memorable scenes during the film

Ps great soundtrack to boot

Would have mentioned most posted but I'll add true romance and reservoir dogs instead.

Not typical mob culture but involving organized crime; 2 of tarantino's better offerings IMHO.

Agreed. Mesrine - Killer Instinct is a superb film and brilliantly acted.

Donnie Brasco for me, but Bugsy Malone was also excellent.

Never knowingly right.
