Top Gangster Movies of all time

[Raheny Red]

Errrm....road to perdition is more recent than any of those.....
There are other classics to be considered if you take into consideration the English underworld: The Krays, The Long Good Friday, and theres an excellent 4 part series on BBC2 called the Long Firm, starring some guy I never heard of acting as a gay london tough guy in soho...., the original Get Carter with Michael Caine, all classics

Couldn't find the worst film tread, so did a search on The Krays and found this thread. It was on TG4 last night. Did anyone watch it? My God it was awful, I was expecting something half decent but this was complete and utter ****e.

Ah it wasn't that bad. Granted, the Kemp brothers were very poor in it, but the storyline was ok.

I agree with Pete - Once Upon a Time in America. By a distance I have to say. (Re-opens debate)

James Woods is probably best role of his career. Once Upon is to de Niro as Godfather is to Al Pacino.

Does Point Blank count as a gangster movie? Maybe more of a crime thriller? :confused: Either way one of my favourites too. Lee Marvin never better. Mel Gibson attempted remake was a disgrace.

"Rise of the Footsoldier, follows the inexorable rise of Carlton Leach from one of the most feared generals of the football terraces to becoming a member of a notorious gang of criminals who rampaged their way through London and Essex in the late eighties and early nineties."

Well worth a look

Post more suited to Recommended films thread , but I think the target audience are here.
