    Pauly, yes, at #5 spot.

    Mac, all great choices. Blood in Blood Out, Menace 2 Society, and Road to Perdition all made the list if you check the first post. Bad Boys with Sean Penn I definitely overlooked, but American Me was talked about. As for Taxi Driver, I suppose it could have squeaked in, but there's nothing much gangster at all about that movie aside from the shootout at the end. But, that being said, Taxi Driver would make my all time top 10 no question. Great flick.

    I searched through the entire fukkin' thread to find it but kudos to Mac4Lyfe for eventually listing Blow. Awesome movie.

    And a nomination for Thursday, a Pulp Fiction-esque movie that is hard to find but worth the effort. And also stars Paulina Porizkova's norks.

    Here's a 700MB torrent:

    http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Thursday...910ecd917c3c8c

    Search on that site and you can find the 4GB DVD rip. Also from around 10 notes on ebay. Well worth a watch.

    Well you have showed admirable patience bringing us thus far. I think I would have been viciously insulting people in ALL CAPS by about half way down page 1.

    Keeping with the rules of the thread...another for 'City of God'

    ...but...

    Breaking the rules of the thread and putting on my cat-herding outfit, I would definately ditch Scarface as nowhere close to a top 5. I'd add the original French Connection following Godfather I and II as a top 3...fantastic movie with Hackman and Duvall.

    Great list...

    Is City of God the Brazilian based film in subtitles ?? I would also add Trainspotting.
    Also the British make some great crime films but the titles are escaping me at the moment, are there any Brits in here that could make their top ten list.

    I just googled City of God to answer my own question. I agree, it was one of my favorite films of all time.

    By "you agree," does that mean you want it as your selection for #5?

    About ready to kill myself with a shoe.

    Yes re City of God.



    I am not a Brit but can lob a few thoughts out there. The Guy Ritchie movies qualify

    Rocknrolla
    Snatch
    Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

    Adding

    The Krays
    Shallow Grave (in a way)
    Sexy Beast (has been mentioned)
    Layer Cake
    The Long Good Friday
    The Croupier
    The Limey



    Trainspotting is a very loose fit IMO.

    Man Killed With Shoe; Girlfriend Charged


    NEW YORK (AP) - A woman whose ex-boyfriend died after she beat him with her size-12 high-heel shoe was charged with manslaughter Sunday, police said.

    Roosevelt Bonds, 51, died early Saturday after the brawl outside a Brooklyn nightclub, police said. Anna Rhinehart, 40, apparently knocked him down and beat him repeatedly with the shoe, police said.

    The two had a child together but their relationship had recently become strained, police said.

    A spokeswoman for the city medical examiner said Bonds died of chest compression and blunt trauma to the head, neck and torso.

    Rhinehart was awaiting arraignment.
