So loving these movie threads. And I'm getting several ideas for future movie threads (best horror movies, best alien-related movies, best comedies, etc.). Can't wait!
Related to prior posts:
Man, that movie Thursday isn't even in Netflix! I thought Netflix had everything! Aaron Eckhardt is pretty big, too, I don't get it.
Cougar, remember that movie "Go" from the 90s? That was a good flick, but I can't remember if it would qualify for this category.
Also, how about "Brick"?
This is fun!
Yes Capy I remember Go. I don't really think it qualifies for any "best of" list in any category. It was average, above average IMO. Brick is a great movie. I don't really think it fits in the gangster/crime category. Great, great movie though.
Okay, this is embarrassing, but I can't think of the name of a film and need help.
There's some gangster-related movie (maybe it's even in this thread somewhere) that I'm only remembering snippets of...
Something about the protagonist's crazy brother (cousin?) coming home, maybe just out of prison, and stirring sh-t up... I remember the protagonist had a setup on the roof or something, I can picture them hanging out on the roof and there was a fridge up there. (I thought the brother/cousin was maybe Edward Norton but don't see this movie on his IMDb page.)
LOL!
Help.
The Yards? Just a guess though...
I was pretty good in that movie. But I love rapping yo.
Nope. LOL, you're in that movie!Originally Posted by Cougar Bait
Damn, something with Grace in the title maybe? This is driving me nuts.
State of Grace?
That's it! That was a good flick, and I believe it would qualify. (And wow, trailers were even cheesier back in 1990.)
Funny, I did check for Gary Oldman movies at IMDb but must have flown past that one. And speaking of the great Gary Oldman, how about "The Professional"??
For those who haven't voted for the #5 slot yet the voting period ends in a little over an hour.
For #5 slot
Heat 5
Casino 4
Pulp Fiction 3
Carlito's Way 3
A Bronx Tale 2
Reservoir Dogs 2
City of God 2
9 others @ 1
Carlito's Way - all b/c of Luiz Guzzman
Gary Oldman personified the greasy Irish-American punk in that flick...looked like he hadn't bathed for a month...great performance. I think 'The Departed' owes a lot to that film.
FINAL 5
Godfather 1
Godfather 2
Scarface
Goodfellas
Heat
Voting for #5 slot per forum broke down:

Great Thread
Donnie Brasco is way up there
The true stories are the best.
Casino
Goodfellas
Donnie Brasco
Bonanno
never seen Bonanno...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonanno_crime_family
It is a little older movie about Joseph Bonanno and his rise to power. It was his idea to start the commission of the 5 families. Revolutionized cosa nostra
Read the original post **, it's there.
some of my favorite crime movies that you can consider to compare the list for final sorting!
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
The Godfather (1972)
The Godfather: Part II (1974)
Pulp Fiction (1994)
The Dark Knight (2008)
Goodfellas (1990)
City of God (2002)
The Usual Suspects (1995)
Se7en (1995)
Leon: The Professional (1994)
American History X (1998)
Double Indemnity (1944)
Vertigo (1958)
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
How can you not have "Gotti" on the list? It's got to be top5 all-time IMO. I'm talking about the one that came out in 1996, not the "Gotti: In the shadow of my father" crap coming out in 2012
1) Heat
2) Pulp Fiction
3) Casino
4) Goodfellas
5) Gotti
shottas best gangster movie hands down
The Departed gets my vote
wow....just wow
Youre an idiot paco
City of God
Actually in all seriousness, this one should be in the vote as well. Very uncomfortable gangsta flick.
this is the all time gangster flick... People actually died over the filming of this movie...
Goodfellas probably tops my list. Pesci's ad-libbing makes the movie.
Can't forget the more modern movies like Training Day and American Gangster. One of the most badass scenes ever.
The greatest is Godfather, and it's not even a debate.
Now I don't know if this qualifies, and I did not read all 160 odd posts, but was Shawshank even mentioned.
This thread gets bumped every year
Here's the original list. Not perfect, but it's decent. Gotti I have seen but I thought it was average at the time. Maybe I should give it another shot.
agreed.
Casino is a good film but it doesn't deserve to be put in the same sentence as some of those others.
.
Resevoir dogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uhhh Shawshank Redemption is a drama. It's not even remotely gangster. It is sorta about a crime, but it wasn't a crime committed by the protagonist. Never mind.
Saw this the other day. Very good.
It's available on Netflix instant.
Too funny when old threads get bumped!
Looking at this saddens me because I can tell from how I posted in it that I was just a happier person back then... life's been just goin' downhill.
Little Shop of Horrors, starring the late Rick Moranis. RIP, Rick.
