1. Carlito's Way wasn't bad either

"You think you're big time? You're gonna f**king die big time!"

I had a Scarface flashback from that line.;-)

[LanternWaste]

2. Once Upon A Time in America....

Blasphemy for a Coppolla fan like me to say, but all other things being equal, Once Upon A Time in America is my fav.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

33. I wanted to like that move so much I watched it twice.

Big mistake.

3. Bonnie and Clyde

with Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. Great, great movie.

4. You Have 2 of My 3

I voted "The Godfather", love "Goodfellas", and want to throw in my 2 cents for the Coen Bros' "Miller's Crossing"

[HEyHEY]

5. Miller's Crossing

[MarianJack]

6. Hello There!

I guess that great minds think alike! :toast:

I also remember a good one (at least I thought it was good in my teens) with Kirk Douglas called "The Brotherhood".

[Selwynn]

12. Yup - Miller's Crossing was very good

[Dees]

7. A Bronx Tale......

[Feanorcurufinwe]

23. That's a good one!

[Kat45]

8. I clicked on the wrong one by mistake.

I clicked on Godfather, which I love, but meant to click Goodfellas, which is my all-time favorite movie. I LOVE gangster movies. The old ones are great too.

[Kat45]

9. "I'm on top of the world, ma"....

A lot of the old gangster movies are great, Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, Bogart. etc. The orignal "Scarface" is excellent. There's "White Heat," "Little Caesar"--so many it's hard to think of them all at once.

[VOX]

19. "White Heat" is a classic -- talk about film noir!

Cagney is still very underrated, IMO. He did some outrageous turns and bits of business. His Cody Jarrett in "White Heat" is terrifying.

Who else but Cagney could blow away a guy locked in the trunk of a car, while eating a sandwich, no less?

[Coventina]

10. Bound n/t

[buddhamama]

11. Once Upon A Time In America -the original version of 3+ hours

the condensed version sucked.

[brainwashed_youth]

13. Scarface

"I want what's coming to me Chico, the world, and everything in it".

[Jade Fox]

14. HEAT--Don't know it qualifies as a gangster movie...

"You know, for me the action IS the juice."

[Limbought]

15. Public Enemy w/ Jimmy Cagney

[flamingyouth]

16. Me too!

[VOX]

17. Yes!!! Imagine the *jolt* that it caused in its time!

My mom saw "The Public Enemy" in the theater as a kid -- she told me that the scene where Cagney (all bound up like a mummy) falls through the front door absolutely horrified everyone.

[Kat45]

24. Yeah. Another great old one.

Is that the one where he smashed a grapefruit in the woman's face? I think that itself was shocking at the time.

[NightTrain]

18. You forgot "The Godafther, Part 2."

Even better than the excellent original, IMHO.

[Maddy McCall]

20. King of New York ~ because I always dig Walken as a bad guy.

[The Democratic Kid]

21. THE GOD FATHER

The God Father is who and what I am. The Democratic Kid is Itlian and when you F_ CK with my family I never forget it. The Health care system raped my family and I will rise up and spit fire back in their faces....

[Feanorcurufinwe]

22. Prizzi's Honor

[Jack Rabbit]

25. Some Like It Hot

I guess it qualifies.

[jpgray]

26. The Untouchables is fun, if not very historically accurate. :-) (nt)

[JohnKleeb]

27. You think I am funny?

:)
Funny how
Goodfellas man

[citizen snips]

28. kick for the late night crowd.

[bigwillq]

29. I voted for Scarface

Pacino rocked in that movie. But the others are all worthy of praise.

[citizen snips]

30. I like scarface.

I like all the rest, but scarface is my favorite.

[bigwillq]

32. the first time I watched it

I was so high and it just blew me away. So many good parts, the end when Pacino has all the coke on his face, a madman at his boiling point. Classic!

[kodi]

31. godfather, 'cause it has given us so many cool sayings

GF is imprinted on the culture by the use of its dialogue in common speech.

there are too many of them to list.
