    Good call. Not the edited version because I believe that is ****e, but the full edit is class. For another kind of gangster film, Gangs of New York was pretty good

    I thought it was an okay film ruined by overacting, bad wigs and the overuse of the word caaaant!

    If you like the movie check out www.bernardomahoney.com But beware they show real pics of the 3 that died in the end. Brutal viewing.

    Goodfellas or Godfather II. Not just two of the best gangster films of all time, but some of the best films of all time, period.

    Have to admit, I'm not a fan of Scarface.

    My favourites are Godfather I and II, Carlito's Way, Goodfellas, Eastern Promises (this about the Russian mafia in London, Viggo Mortensen is IMMENSE in this) and Snatch. It's always a toss up between Lock Stock and Snatch but I've always prefered Snatch. Not that I don't like Lock Stock, it's just one of those things.
