Stephen Graham as Babyface Nelson was also the ONLY good thing about Public Enemies!
Was the Depp remake? Crap I have not seen that, not so good eh? Wait , thinking of The Public enemy ;D.
Yup Depp as Dillinger. Shit movie if for nothing more than it was 100% digital not FILM....the look of it is just God awful.
The book is so much better!
Cagney in The Public Enemy is absolutely classic!

A couple of shouts to Charles Dierkop, William Forsyth, Tony Sirico, James Gandolfini, Joe Mantegna, Richard Castellano, James Caan, Marlon Brando, Ray Liotta, and Steve Schirippa.
I think Gabriel Byrne and Albert Finney did great in Miller's Crossing which is underrated.
James Caan. Now there's a guy who's done a few Mafia roles and bad guy roles in general. He's a natural.

Old school gangster movies are GOLD.....the original Scarface with Paul Muni...so much better than Pacino's and whatever the fuck Diego Luna is coming out with :shakehead:
Cagney, Robinson, Bogey, they all seemed like actual tough guys not some fancy pants acting school dandy.....granted Robinson was so not used to guns that he blinked every time he shot his pistol lol. But his manner of speech, his actions......the same goes for Bela Lugosi as Dracula, the dude embodied the character and so every character since then has been playing the ACTOR of the role rather than just the role itself that's how honest their performances were.
And George Raft.....what a cool customer that dude was!
