WHats the greatest GANGSTER film of all time ?

[Easy 10]

I'm in a FILMY mood this week. You don't like it - what are you going to do about it ? I'm here, you're there, and thats not a DAMN THING you can do about it. You can't stop me starting these threads. Well, a MOD could if he wanted to I suppose. Thats a thought - why are there no female mods ? Are they too dangerously erratic with their hairtrigger pre-menstrual moodswings and irrational knee-jerk reactions ? That probably has something to do with it. Or maybe girls just don't WANT to moderate on messageboards. Its a fairly thankless task after all. I wouldn't blame them if they gave it a swerve and just left it to the likes of Hiney, El Pres etc. I don't think I could be arsed (not that I've ever been asked).

Anyway. Which one of these is your bestest GANGSTER flick, do you think ? And if you reply with "Durrr...where's the poll ?" - well I'm typing it NOW arn't I, you tit.

[coventrygull]

Scarface

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Brighton Rock

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Performance.

 

[keaton]

Godfather

But closer runners up are:
Miller's Crossing, Get Carter, Donnie Brasco, City of God, Infernal Affairs and The Usual Suspects

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Sleepless in Seattle

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Surely the union of Mr. De Niro and Mr. Pacino in HEAT deserves a mention, although the gangsters involved were not the mafia.

 

[keaton]

Ooh i forgot about Heat.

 

[Easy 10]

So did I.

 

[WATFORD zero]

You should be more ashamed of missing Brighton Rock, Easy. (Although the Godfather gets my vote)

 

[Benny Seagull]

i like films.

 

[Easy 10]

You should be more ashamed of missing Brighton Rock, Easy. (Although the Godfather gets my vote)

But....but....I havn't seen it.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Now that is something to be ashamed of.
Quick - get out of here and see it before HB&B arrives

 

[Trufflehound]

The Untouchables

 

[The Large One]

Rififi et son Frères (1955)

 

[Trufflehound]

And why is the ad I see at the top of this page asking me in big letters:

WHY IS YOUR STOMACH FAT?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Goodfellas.

Love, Honour and Obey is class as well.

 

[Don Tmatter]

couldn't decide between Casino & Goodfellas, so didn't vote.
