Fav 'Gangster' Movie?

[sunsshinnee x)]

Goodfellas
The long Good Friday
Anything by Jimmy Cagney, Edward G Robinson, or George Raft (a genuine gangster)
The Untouchables
Scarface
The Untouchables
Godfather I & II

 

[' The Beast']

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned them yet, but the ONLY gangster movies I have ever really enjoyed are:-
'Carlito's Way' and 'White Heat'

I've tried to enjoy some of the other big-name ones (Godfather, Goodfellas, Once upon a time...etc.) but frankly can't be arsed with any of 'em.

It's a matter of taste really, some people enjoy gangster movies, some (including me) don't.

'Carlito's Way' stanRAB head and shoulders above the rest for me, with an honourable mention for Cagney's 'White Heat'




edit:- Oops! apologies, just re-read the thread and 'White Heat' HAS had a mention.

mmm Doesn't any film by Jimmy Cagney count as including White Heat also??
Forgot about Carlito's Way.. Yes very good.

 

[pee]

i mentioned White Heat by name as well.. one of James Cagney's best films

Lock Stock, and Snatch were very good, though not quite sure if they fall under "gangster movies".... pretty sure they would though, LOVE EM

Bought "L4yer Cake" yesterday, hope its as good.
