Best 10 Gangster Movies


Recommended Posts

If you mention seven which is not about the mafia, you'd have to mention silence of the lambs which is better in every way

OK, I was just giving examples...not trying to do a comprehensive list.

 

Though...another issue has come up: Is something like Die Hard a "Cop movie" or an Action/Adventure movie.

This just shows how sometimes you cannot pigeonhole movies into any one particular genre.

Is the "Usual Suspects" a gangster movie?

 

It is about a gang of criminals. And a GREAT movie

I think it can be considered a gangster movie, yes. The gangster characters were the primary focus of that movie. The cops were just there for dressing.

The Iceman featuring Michael Shannon just cracked my top five. Badass flick

 

you should read the book 'the iceman cometh'. that dude was caraaaazy! (the undercover FBI agent was more crazy though. how do those guys do it?) wasn't scared of shit. there are also documentary films out there where he was interviewed on camera in jail.

 

doesn't quite get into the depravity and gruesomeness as the book does.
