    Lot's of great contender here. Not just Italian mafia movies, but just gansgter films in general. A few examples;

    - Goodfellas
    - Casino
    - The Departed
    - Donnie Brasco
    - Scarface
    - The Godfathers
    - The Untouchables

    Have to say Casino is mine, a wonderful film. I know a lot of people speak highly of Scarface but I like that Goodfellas and Casino have an element of truth to them.

    And in case you haven't heard John Travolta will be playing John Gotti in a new gangster movie following the life of the Tephlon don through 3 generations. Al Pacino and Joe Pesci have been confirmed to also star.

    utter pish film. A Triumph of flashiness and gloss over substance and depth.

    Q: Is Carlito's Way a ganster movie? Peerless performances from Pacino and Penn <ok>

    Otherwise GoodFellas. No doubt.

    I think it could be classified as a Gangster movie, wasn't too keen on it myself and I thought Heat was gash too!
