I think so too. Scarface is probably considered a gangster movie. Although, it does show him as the head of an organized crime family. There may be overlapping between mafia and gangster movies.
I mentioned Reservoir Dogs earlier, as well. I thought that was a great movie. I especially enjoyed the part where they have the man tied up, and he starts dancing around while pouring gas on him. I haven't seen the movie in ages, and think I will red box it tonight
So many good movies listed here, and by others. I have so much to watch that I haven't seen or haven't seen in a long time.
