Good Gangster movies? Old & New

[Wink]

Just picked up Reservoir Dogs & once upon a time in America. Still looking for more!

 

[Cigar Cowboy]

If you like De Niro, "a Bronx Tale" is also De Niro.

 

[Wink]

*update* Just grabbed - White Heat, Bonnie & Clyde, little Ceaser!

Try True Romance. Maybe not gangster but definitely a great movie nontheless.

Couple more than no one has mentioned but are in my top 20.

The Usual Suspects
State of Grace
Things to do in Denver when your dead
The Professional
Romeo is Bleeding

Things to do in Denver when your dead is one of my all time favs. What a great movie.

Things to do in Denver when your dead is one of my all time favs. What a great movie.

If you liked this movie definately see Suicide Kings. Another Walken GEM!

A Bronx Tale, Casino, Goodfellas.

You know what looks good is that new HBO Series.

It is called Boardwlak Empire.

It stars Steve Buscemi

 

[Wolfpack of 1]

Johnny Dangerously (Comedy but still great)
Heat might qualify.. great DeNiro film

 

[Carpe diGar]

If your definition includes rebels who operate like gangsters - Blood Diamond - I'm not a Leonardo D fan but he was very good in this -

Gangster No 1
Layer Cake
Battles Without Honor and Humanity
Brother
Sexy Beast
A Bittersweet Life
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Top three of the that list are the top three for me the rest are in no particular order but are still good

Suicide Kings was a really good movie. King of New York is another Walken film that was really good as well.

IMDB is your friend! Careful with it though while researching movies you can actually expose yourself to plot spoilers.

Maybe not a 100% genre match, but I really dig Gangs of New York.

Don't think anyone has added Miller's Crossing yet...it's a must see gangster flick!!!!

A couple not mentioned yet:

Sexy Beast (2000)
In Bruges (2008)

MAN! I was just about to post SEXY BEAST! Excellent on every level.

Ok, here we go.

Arguably the first film noir, The Asphalt Jungle. (John Huston's first movie)
Double Indemnity
The History of Violence already mentioned but it is so TIGHT, it should have won the Oscar that year given how layered it was.
Layer Cake (british and excellent)
Infernal Affairs 1 and 2 (Hong Kong) The Departed was based on these films
The Grifters
House of Games
Blade Runner; I could smoke a nice 466 and get lost in that movie.
