The best gangster film ever

For me...

1. Goodfellas
Goodfellas is the best has famous movie stars like Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci, and Robert Deniro. It has a lot of blood and shootings during wackings which the godfather did not. Joe Pesci also has a oscar performance. While Robert Deniro is just as amazing in a supporting role. And that guy from Romeo and Juliet’s dad is in there.

2. Godfather Trilogy
The Godfather is the most popular of the gangster genres. Lot of star people like Marlon Brando, Al Paccino, John Cazale. The movie really started the careers of Al Pacino, James Caan, Diane Keaton and many others. This movie is very long somewhat boring but has a really good story line. Godfather 2 is actually better than the first one. This movie has not enough blood and shooting. But John Cazale is amazing he has a great performance as Fredo.

3. Scarface
Actor Al Pacino in the role of Tony Montana a miami gangster drug dealer. He is a tough gangster who kills everyone he meets and says fuck all the time. He stars off as a poor dishwasher former criminal who just came to America Florida from Fidel Castro’s communist Cuba. Montana in America dreams the American dream. Montana similar to Jimmy Cagney in White Heat wants the world and everythings thats coming to him. The movie contains the famous lines such as “Say Hello to my little friend” and “In American first you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the women”. The movie is wonderfully done and shows the legend of an actor Al Pacino is. The movie is very bloody and contains lots of bad language especially fuck. This is probably one of the best gangster movies ever made I highly recommend it.

4. The Untouchables
Is about Eliot Ness played by Kevin Costner as a cop along with his many partners trying to catch Al Capone played by Robert Deniro. A lot of people say this is one of the best gangster films. But I thought the story was boring and done before. The movie is basically about the side of the cop. The only good part of the movie is Robert Deniro as Al Capone but Deniro’s scenes are cut to short. Sean Connery as Jim Malone also has an Oscar winning performance. The movie has many nice shootings and nice costuming of gangster suits. But I would not recommend this movie it is too boring.

5. Pulp Fiction
Pulp Fiction is one of the best films ever made in my generation in 90’s. It has many famous stars like Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Uma Turman, Sam L. Jackson. The film is very weird and funny. It has one of the best diagolues which is so funny. And John Travolta revived his career because of this film.

6. Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels
Director Guy Ritchie expertly concocted an amusing crime thriller replete with crosses and double crosses among various criminal groups in London's underworld. The plot surrounds a group of 4 low level criminals played by Jason Statham, Nick Moran, Jason Flemyng and Dexter Fletcher who pool their resources to sit in at a high stakes card game with a 100,000 pound admission. Nick Moran playing Eddie is a card shark but the game run by porn king Harry "Hatchet" Lonsdale played by P.J. Moriarty is fixed. He loses the 100,000 and an aditional 500,000 which must be paid within a week or else.
The band of 4 friends contrive to recoup the stolen funds by ripping off a marijuana growing cartel that conveniently live next door. That group had already been targeted by other group of robbers and things as a result get predictably muddled.
Meanwhile The "Hatchet" has commissioned the theft of a pair of antique shotguns worth a small fortune that bizarrely wind up in the hands of Moran and his friends. The various groups begin exchanging both the money and the shotguns among them leaving behind a trail of bloodied corpses in this farcical romp.
Ritchie concludes this well contrived comedic thriller, which includes a plethora of tough looking British thugs, with a touch of irony that effectively caps this winning film.

7. Reservoir Dogs
The first film by Quentin Tarantino. About 7 strangers that come together to pull a bank robbery. But everything goes wrong, some of them are killed. And the rest come together in a warehouse, screaming at each other trying to find a rat in the group. Reservoir Dogs has lots of blood. It contains some scenes that are really nasty like the earing cuting scene. It has lot of great killing cops scences. It is a great little movie. It changes scences like pulp fiction it also resembles pulp fiction. You can really see that Tarantino was experimenting in his first film. Reservoir Dog feels like a little movie not a big one like the godfather or scarface but its one of the best gangster movies ever created.

8. Snatch
Movie that takes a little patience to get into. The first 15-20 minutes are a bit confusing. There are a lot of characters to introduce, and Ritchie's fitful editing style - reminiscent of music video-style flash - is something the viewer will have to get used to. But once it settles down and we get into the flow of it, it is a very entertaining, even hilarious, movie.Brad Pitt does a superb job and shows once more why he is not only a big star but a fine actor. All the actors in this are excellent. It's a film about confusion, dumb plots, and drastic mistakes made by people who think they're smart when really they are all dumb as lamposts.

9. Carlito's Way
In one of his best performances ever, Al Pacino is the engine that keeps "Carlito's Way" moving from beginning to end. Recently-released from prison, Carlos Brigante (played marvelously by Pacino) is a former Puerto Rican drug lord who ruled New York City's drug world during the 1960's and 1970's. Assisted by his lawyer (Sean Penn) Pacino is determined to stay out of the trade that landed him in prison in the first place. However, as usual trouble always lurks in every corner.
Deciding to buy and operate a Latin nightclub from an owner who is seriously in debt (played by the famous Argentine comedian Jorge Porcel, who had a cult following throughout Latin America due to his sexually-charged comedy skit show "A La Cama Con Porcel; he is know as the Latin-version of "Benny Hill"). Yet as old faces reemerge onto the scene, newer faces have also started to take a foothold in Brigante's former empire, especially Benny Blanco (played by the ever-wonderful John Leguizamo).
Directed by Brian de Palma ("Carrie"), this is one of the most realistic, and historic accurate pictures of life in New York City's urban jungle during the late 1970's/early 1980's. Penelope Ann Miller ("Adventures in Babysitting" is great as Brigante's love interest, and Luis Guzman always is a scene-stealer playing Pacino's right-hand man.

10. Once Upon A Time In America
Please do not get bogged down when you see that the running time in 229 minutes. You will understand the whole work only after you watch the full movie. Its a gangster movie, but of a different kind. It just does not concentrate on the brutal activities, but explores the characters over several decades which passes by at a moderate pace. It observes the proceeding in great detail, which runs with the risk of being termed slow, but, its not really slow. It develops the characters and the life they will live gradually through a series of incidents at different points of their life - through a brilliant set of flash-backs and flash-forwards. Its difficult to say exactly whether this was first of its kind of story telling in 1982, but definitely smart and intelligent. Yes, it makes the job to assimilate the story more difficult .
