I've seen A Bronx Tale mentioned a few times, I love that movie. Written and directed by De Niro.

Nope agreed. Scarface was good, but special ? No way. Reservoir Dogs is so overrated. I'ld rather watch paint dry than watch Reservoir Dogs again. The only good scene is where the guy gets his ear cut off lol.

Godfather I and II; Goodfellas, Casino and American Me.

I thought Scarface was stupid personally.

Surprised really no one has mentioned American Me with edward James Olmos; on par with Blood In Blood Out. Wlliam Forsythe was awesome in this movie.

K junior...you clearly don't know what you're talking about, The Godfather is THE BEST gangster film of all time.

Gangs of New York is decent...it's alot different than the book but it's still pretty good I think.

A couple of my favs in no particular order are.

Carlitos Ways - the original one with Pacino
Donnie Brasco
Godfather
Godfather II
Gotti
Goodfellas
Casino

I can't wait to check out Public Enemies that looks really good.

American me
Godfather 1/2
Colors
Lock stock & two smoking barrels
King of New York
Romper Stomper :-X
A Bronx tale
