Best mafia movies? Looking for a christmas
 

My nephew is 17 and he's in to the mafia movies. Anyone have any suggestions? So far I have Scarface, Witness to the Mob, Goodfellas and Casino.

Godfather I and II
Miller's Crossing (maybe not for a 17 year old)

I also liked The Sicilian with Christopher Lambert - old school Mafia - true story and not as 'glamorized'

for those in the know, nothing beats "La Piovra"

famous Italian mafia series from the early 90's and VERY hard to obtain. It doesn't even exist on DVD and the only versions that do exist somewhere on VHS are in Italian and with German/Norwegian subtitles at best.

Nevertheless, as far as mafia movies go, this series is 2 thumbs up.

keep them coming

the Godfather Part 2

Do a search ... somebody posted a thread that got a lot of input a couple weeks ago

City of god is a good one, also a movie called "brother" is great!

The Road to Perdition.

Once upon a time in America, Godfather trilogy, Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, Casino

reservoir dogs
goodfellas
heat
casino
donnie brasco
usual suspects

some may not be 'mafia' but great anyways :thumbsup

Donnie Brasco and The Godfather.. :thumbsup

Sopranos box set is cool. 5 years worth of series. Costs a grip though.
Colors and Bad Boys are cool flicks. Sean Penn played in both. :pimp

The Classic God Father movies. :thumbsup

Valachi Papers
 

Thanks guys. Got a lot of these frfom Amazon.com tonite. :)

Bronx Tail
Casino
Donnie Brasco

Some classic old school for you:

White Heat (1949) with James Cagney
Al Capone (1959) with Rod Steiger
Scarface (1932) with Paul Muni - The original movie Pacino's version was remade from.
