[Mark TKO]

All worthy. What about these which i would class as mobster...

A Bronx Tale

Carlito's Way

City of God

Personally I would also class Scarface as a mobster flick

[Stickgrappler]

great list ... some candidates from Hong Kong:

A Better Tomorrow 1 (the gun-fu from A Better Tomorrow 2 mixed with the story from #1 would be superawesome)

--------

The Mission (Johnnie To director, not the De Niro movie)

----------

Election
Triad Election (aka Election 2)

---------

Rich and Famous
Tragic Hero

Both starring Chow Yun-fat - made to be one movie, but it was so long, they cut it to 2.

-------

Young and Dangerous series (1-6, Official Prequel) (this series from late 90's was so popular that it had a few unofficial sequels)

A group of 4 buddies joined a Triad and slowly rise through the ranks to end up on top ruling





probably a few other worthy candidates, but those were off the top of my head

[Stickgrappler]

A Korean candidate - City of Violence

A Japanese candidate - Brother (Takeshi Kitano, Omar Epps)

[Fenster]

Here's some Brit ones...

The Long Good Friday
Get Carter

and for a different feel...

Lock Stock and Snatch

City of Violence is the movie Tarantino stole a bunch from for Reservoir Dogs, right?

That was City of Fire (with Yun Fat). City of Violence was more recent (2005 or 2006)

Sorry Bean, I didn't see your reply before I posted

No, I think you are thinking of director Ringo Lam's City on Fire starring Chow Yun-fat as the undercover cop and Danny Lee as the crook (in John Woo's The Killer, Danny Lee was the cop and Chow was the killer)

QT probably was also inspired by Stanley Kubrick's The Killing starring Sterling Hayden (non-chronological storytelling about a racetrack heist). Where The Killing is different than RD, was that TK followed each character from beginning to end and then going on to the next character from beginning to end and repeat.

QT takes from everything it seems haha. I think Mystery Train was also a big influence on his work (especially for Pulp Fiction).

Great list and always good to see Miller's Crossing getting love.

The only thing I disagree on is I think Scarface is a mobster movie but it's all semantics I guess.
