Miller's Crossing = best gangster movie evar!

The plot twists, the personal and cartoon violence, it hits the classic icons of the genre, and still manages to bring a fresh interpretation of story to the screen.

It's gotta be Mobsters, starring Christian Slater.  Hands down.

lots of good choices and great movies, but as good as The Departed and Goodfellas were, the Godfather and The Godfather II are in another class.

Godfather I & II are one movie, IMO.

American Gangster is worth mentioning.

Agreed.  Godfather II was a better movie that either of the other top two (Godfather and Goodfallas).

i tried to remember as many as i could...most of the ones i forgot that people listed are good.  city of god is incredible, foreign films are usually better than most of the crap that comes out of hollywood the past 10 years.

Does "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" count as a gangster movie? If so, that.

Or "Snatch".

That will teach me to actually read the posts and not just the poll choices.

On a related note... am I the only person who fails to see anything in "Scarface"? It's like a longer, very crappy episode of Miami Vice.
