Mob Movies

[Guest muddatrucker]

So I've just recently bought Casino and The Untouchables because they were cheap and was looking at my DVDs thinking how many mob movies I had, so far (off the top of my head) I have:

Godfather 1,2,3

Goodfellas

Road to Perdition

Casino

The Untouchables

Donnie Brasco

Scarface

All the Sopranos boxsets

What other essentials am I missing?

A Bronx Tale

[King Ellis]

Seems he'll have to wait or import if he does want to get it, not out here until October which suprises me.

Donnie Brasco?

EDIT: Nevermind. Just noticed it, I just scanned the first post. My bad. I can't think of any other than the ones you listed.

That's on the list.

I'm assuming you want post 70s stuff? If so then you need Carlito's Way, Mean Streets, Once Upon A Time In America, Miller's Crossing and maybe the King of New York, and then I'd say you've got the essentials for the last 35 years.

West Side Story?

... well, it is kind of.

[Guest Chasing Ringy]

Hahaha, I can just imagine mudda trying to watch West Side Story >_>

I'd reccomend a movie called "made".

It's by basically the same crew that did "swingers", and it stars Favreau and Vaughn in the 2 lead roles. It's not a mob movie per se, and in no way is it really essential, but it's a cracking film none the less, and i think it only cost me about 3 quid new. Well worth picking up.

Mean Streets.

It was both DeNiro's and Scorsese's 'coming out' movie, and also stars Harvey Keitel. Since it's from the early 70's, I can't imagine it costing too much.

I'll second Mean Streets and King of New York. Both are brilliant movies, especially Mean Streets if you a Martin Scorcese fan. Deniro and Keitel both turn in brilliant performances for this movie.

Raging Bull might be worth a look as well. It's main storyline isn't mafia based, but the mob do tie in heavily in regards to the advancement of the story. It's also based on a true story which makes things a bit more interesting. The mob presence is heavy enough that it might just qualify for your criteria, but it's a great movie to check out at any rate.
