Miller's Crossing!
![]() Out of that list my fav is probably Goodfellas, not sure that's the best one of the lot, though...

I can't choose. there are too many I like on the list.
![]() if I was threatened with concrete-tennis-shoes, I'd pick goodfellas though. PS: I haven't seen Ghost Dog, but have been meaning to put it on my netflix queue. is it decent? |

Time for a bit of vagueness now: About 10 years ago there were two films released at the same time, by the same director and both starring Christopher Walken, one of which was a gangster movie and the other one a vampire movie. I liked them both (although the vampire one is my preferred one), and the gangster one would get my vote for my favourite gangster movie if only a) I could remember its name, and b) it was one of the options in the poll.

ghost dog is hilarious.
my vote would have to go to "american gangster." even though it's not out yet, i got ahold of a dvd quality bootleg last week and it is a-fucking-mazing. since it's not up there, though, i say "scarface."

voted The Godfather
haven't seen American Gangster no time for listing at the moment just a reprint / La Cosa Nostra some mob comedies (some have some dramedy) worth seeing Midnight Run Broadway Danny Rose Mad Dog and Glory (Murray/De Niro/Thurman) The Freshman (Brando parodying his role as Don Vito=priceless cinema) Some Like It Hot (the AFI ranks this as the #1 comedy of all-time...now that's a laugh) Johnny Dangerously Bullets Over Broadway Prizzi's Honor Family Business Crimewave Analyze This (skip Analyze That) Suicide Kings Be Cool Get Shorty |

hmm, I picked Goodfellas and Scarface.
Although I think they're both overrated, but I like Goodfellas more, shame that I didn't get to watch the ending (disc fucked up) |

Actually, to be honest, I think Eastern Promises is the best gangster movie I've seen so far... But if i put it on the list, it'll outshine everything else... :P

I voted Goodfellas. best gangster movie ever
I personally LOVED ghost dog, but I know many who did not enjoy it. It makes sense to watch it as if ghost dog was mentally ill. There is some seruiously funny shit in that, especially the mafia guy who loves rap I found Lock Stock to be a bit dull, I don't like seeing movies about wanna-be mobsters.

to me the Usual Suspects is not a gangster movie. it is a hesit movie, a movie about criminals/thieves. criminals are not automatically GANGSTERS.
To be a gangster movie you have to deal with organized crime families in some way, whether they be italian, japanese, irish, etc. for that i also do not see Scarface (a movie I love) as a gangster movie
