    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.

    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.

    Godfather part two is my favourite. I never get tired of it. I like a fair few gangster flicks. I agree with Lyle about Casino as I think that has become a somewhat underrated Scorsese flick.

    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.

    Mullholand drives was very good, same thing for New Jack city, Scarface is a classics, I think that the godfather is um-beatable though. i've seen a very interesting documentary about the Noonan family in Manchester, it's called a very British gangster, they were following Dominic Noonan, only a glimpse of what the family is involved in but indeed, a very interesting documentary.

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