First Tony bangs his Psychiatrist while she chugs multiple doubles of Absolut yelling, "Fougettabouttit, Salud!"

Then he bangs Edie with her cute little nurse dress hiked up after she gives him and then herself a hypo of something good.

Then they disclose the plot: The Family's been running Viagra in cheap from Canada and making a killing peddling it to seniors in the Hamptons.

Then his daughter and his brother's wife are making it together, so he bangs both of them.

Then Uncle Junior pees on himself and says, "Fuck me, I just pee'd on myself again!"

It's sort of like The Sopranos Meet the Aristocrats.

I'm sorry, I can't vote. I just love all them friggin' Wiseguy flicks.

U guys forgot the best. White Heat with James Cagney, John Dillinger (original movie I haven't seen the new one), Baby Face Nelson with Mickey Rooney. These are some of the greatest mob movies made. Little Ceasar, Edward G. Robinson, seeeeeeeee

My problem with this poll is that the trilogy isn't as good as the sum of it's parts. GF was really good, GF II was great (my favorite), and three was OK. Since GF II is bunched in with the others I'll have to go with "Mean Streets", an offering that while not his first film, it certainly made a statement about what we could expect from up and coming director Martin Scorcese and fledgling actors Robert DeNiro and Harvey Keitel.

The Godfather trilogy has to be the best in spite of Godfather III. The first two were very strong. This is kind of a which is better Blondes, Brunettes or Red Heads though. They all do quite nicely!

Boondock Saints is in my top five of any movie, not by definition a Mob or Gangster movie IMHO but I like it more than any of those listed. If The Godfather II had been listed on it's own I think I would have gone that way, and yes we do tend to forget some of the early classics. Too bad, I really enjoy the Cagney, Bogart, Ladd movies.

yeah i wanted to seperate the godfather movies but i didnt want to make too many selections to choose from. at the time it seemed better to just put it down as the trilogy but i probably shoulda seperated it up. Larry i will do my best to watch that movie and you will be the first person i tell about it.
