    Not in any order -
    Get Carter (original)
    The Godfather 1 & 2
    Heat (if you consider it a gangster movie)
    King of New York
    Bullet Boy (more localized one very similar to what it's like where I live, about real London not Guy Ritchie's middle class interpretation)
    Donnie Brasco
    Paid In Full
    Infernal Affairs
    Brother (the hardest gangster film there is)
    City of God
    Goodfellas
    Casino

    probably more I've forgotten

    Goodfellas. I think that's the best gangster film by a mile.

    I'm probably the only person who feels this way, but I thought Scarface was a mediocre film at best.

    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.

    Actually it was written by Chazz Palminteri, the actor who plays Sonny. Its loosely based on real life events he went through, as a kid growing up in the Bronx. Like in real life as a teenager he went went out with a black girl if i remember rightly, hence why that was a big part of the film.

    You're right. I always thought De Niro wrote it as well as directed it.

    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.

    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.
