Gotti was good also.

That's actually funny ... A Bronx Tale is one of my all time favorites and my girlfriend just bought me a copy of it last week!!!

LOL

It's 3:15 am and i'm a bit tired :winkwink:

Which ones that i mentioned sucked?

For people that didnt know ,

The Sopranos season 5 will premiere Sunday, March 7th, 2004 on HBO.

I know, I know ... we're in different time zones - gotta catch me in work mode, dude!

I'll be up around 11am PST ... catch me on ICQ if that works for you and we'll nail it down!

I AM INTERESTED !!!

:winkwink:

Analyze This sucked (or at least wasn't very good) and really wasn't much of a gangster movie.

The Whole Nine Yards was an amusing movie but also not much of a gangster flick. If you're going to include this movie you may as well include My Blue Heaven and The Godson.

I don't care for Menace II Society or Reservoir Dogs. I know that's almost sacrilege because everyone thinks Reservoir Dogs was so great but I didn't care for it. In fairness, I only saw it once. I plan to pop it in the VCR for a second viewing some day.

I would replace some of those with movies like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and possibly even Snatch, although Snatch is more of a heist movie than a gangster movie.

I am sure I could think of a lot more good gangster movies if I gave it some thought.

Exactly what I was thinking

I was trying to hit 20, and the last 3 were all comedies with a Gangster "element" that fit the bill. Analyze This was definately a gangster movie though ... and fuckin' funny! DeNiro is THE SHIT!!!

:)

No doubt - Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels was a great movie as well as Snatch!!!

what about West Side Story?????:glugglug

Funny, I bought THAT for my girlfriend 3 weeks ago!

:1orglaugh

Speaking of DeNiro Midnight Run Was A Great Movie.
Somewhat gangster related.

It's pushing things a bit to call that a gangster movie but it was a great picture. The whole bit with Charles Grodin being afraid to fly is priceless and the look Grodin's character gives DeNiro's character when they almost run head-on into that truck makes me just about wet my pants every time. Two thumbs up for Midnight Run.

It's weird that Grodin went on to be a stodgy old man who hosts late-night talk shows. He's awesome in comedic roles.

SpaceAce

nice movies, most of the among my favorites

18 - Analyze This ...... i didnt like this movie.

"Mobsters" belongs on that list
also "The Last Don"

anyone seen the original Scarface from 1935 ? The original gangsters movie.

thegodfather is defenitelty one

J$tyle$,

This may be a little old for you but 'Public Enemy', "Valacci Papers' 'Untouchables' and 'The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight':thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

DAMN you forgot pulp fiction!


if we can call it gangster movie :)

Nice list.
Side note on "A bronx tale", Lillo Brancatto Jr., Played C, was born raised, and still lives in Yonkers NY . We were friends growing up. He has made a few movies and was also on Sapranos, till he got wacked.

I still have that book. I read it every year or two. Breslin's characters are great. I often find myself thinking of Big Jelly because he's big and lecherous, just like me :)

SpaceAce

Shit , make your own list!!!

LOL

:winkwink:

Talking about OLD Gangster flicks ... you should see "Angels whith Dirty Faces" with James Cagney!!!

THAT's a classic!

:)

BTW - I'm thinking about doing New Years up in San Fran ... making arrangements with my lady to stay at THE CLIFT coming up a couple of days before and staying until the 2nd - we should hook up, dude!

You can ... AWESOME MOVIE!!!

Read the Valaci Papers ... fuckin' poster boy for rat's and the begining of the end for old school mobsters in the USA!

.. and I have MOST of MY list on DVD

.. add me to your Chanukah list, Hank - now you know I like Gangster Movies!

LOL

:winkwink:

I'm starting to collect all that shit

:thumbsup

You can't bear The Godfather 1 + 2 :thumbsup

Gotti is another essential gangster flick.

i hear you buddie:thumbsup

nobody will give you this one, the gangster comedy 'Johnny Dangerously' starring Michael Keaton and Joe Piscopo. It bombed
horribly but there are parts of that movie that are pee your pants funny, the guy who played the little greaseball mob boss.

I still call people 'fargin bastages' - just that puts it on the list.

how could you miss 'Bonnie and Clyde'?

Warriors - kinda bizarre, won't see another gang movie like that

The Wanderers

Outsiders

Pope of Greenwich Village

Boneprone....

GREAT PICS!!! I love it!!! Got this one??


http://national-net.com/sopranos/images/portrait.jpg


This one has their autographs AND their "AKAs" (character names)....there are tons and tons of the ones that are just autographed without the AKAs. I even have pictures of them signing the thing:

Add "Romeo is Bleeding"

oh yeah and "Snatch"

Yea the Bronx Tale was a great flick.

you forgot juice

3 more fuckin months?!?!!! im going through withdraws as it is, dunno if i can make it 3 more fuckin months

I've gotta agree that Analyze This was NOT a good movie. De Niro is great, but that movie just wasn't funny.

A gangster movie that I liked that doesn't get mentioned much is 'Bound"

It was the Wachoawski Bros. before Matrix. Also it has Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly doing the squelchy together, so that's a plus.

It's a combo gangster/Film Noir with lesbians. Well crafted. :2 cents:

Bad List IMHO

here's mine from the top of my head:

1: Scarface
2: Godfather
3: Pulp Fiction
4: Heat
5: Goodfellas
6: Snatch
7: Casino
8: Ronin
9: Donnie Brasco
10: Leon
11: Carlitos way
12: Traffic
13: Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels
14: Mobsters
15: Gotti
16: The Score
17: Boyz n the Hood
18: Natural Born Killers
19: Romeo is bleeding
20: A Bronx Tale

I could get real old school gangsta, Gangs of New York.

Whats up Stylee!

I've been away too long from these parts. Europe was fun.

Great list of gangster movies, pretty much covers all of them. I'm waiting for Jstyles sales pitch, buy the top 20 gangsta DVD's through the Netflix of porn!

I'd buy a package.

Anyway, how the hell have you been J$tyle$! Come on the live radio show today, haven't done one in over 5 or 6 weeks.

goodfellas is the best one

Blow is missing......has to go in the top10

DynaMite

How about some good British gangster flicks such as:

Gangster Number 1
The Long Good Friday
Snatch
Sexy Beast
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
The Krays
Essex Boys
Love Honour and obey
Get Carter

Gangster Number 1 and Sexy Beast should be on everyones top 20 gangster flix list
:thumbsup

Good ones Mutt!

Bonnie & Clyde and the Pope of Greenwich Village belong on my list FOR SURE!!!

... and the Warriors, damn - I remember being a little kid and wanting to go see that in the movie theatres SO BAD!

There were all kinds of reports in the news at the time about fights breaking out at shows in NY, people geting stabbed and shot - and my mother refused to take me or let me go with anyone else!

2 of the best scenes ever ...

The one in Gramercy Park when all the gangs congregated to form an alliance ...

"The Warriors did it! They shot Cyrus!"

... and that fuckin' same freak clangin' the bottles ...

"Warriors, come out and playeeeeaaaaa!"



:thumbsup

THESE are GREAT, Tony!!!

Romeo is Bleeding is another one that should have made my list!

Gary Oldman was so good in this movie!!!

"feed the hole!"

Speaking of Gary Oldman ... I'm surprised noone said "the Professional"

... another one that slipped my mind at 3am+

FUCK I was tired!!!

LOL
