Title: Favorite character in Gangster movies.
Post by: MontrealCity's Most on September 09, 2006, 11:41:04 AM
The titile says it all

ex: Ray liotta - Henry Hill
     Deniro - Jimmy Conway
     Pacino - Tony Mantana, Lefty, Corleone
     Micheal Madsen - Sunny Black



  These are a aouple of examples i personaly liked all these characters for different reasons but one i realy enjoed was Pacino as Lefty in Donnie Brasco because he wasent rich and was working his ass off to make the next big score, grimmy type character.

My favorite character is Joe Pesci as Nicky Santoro. Even Biggie would rap about him.

James Caan - Sonny Corleone


All the rest pretty much been said. Although not in a gangster film...

Robert Carlyle - Frank Begbie (trainspotting)

This guy would put the fear of death into anyone.....

U know that Paulie from the Sopranos is a real mobster been to prison and all that.

my fav character from the sopranos besides Tony is Christopher.  I have a feeling he will die in this season, hopefully he won't.  I always like Ralph too.

James Caan - Sonny Corleone

that was the role of all gangster movies. Caan actually hung with real gangsters to get the role down.

i've thought about this for a while:

it's got to be Vito/Michael Corleone

both died of natural causes, both became the most feared and respected people, both in their later years had a kinder wiser heart. to put it more simply: they were 3D. there was more to them than just killing and getting money

James Caan was a Turnberry Island regular. He was friendly with marijuana smugglers Joey Ippolito and Ben Kramer. In 1994, Caan offered his home as collateral toward the $2-million bail and appeared as a character witness for his “dear friend”, Joey Ippolito, who was on trial for cocaine distribution.

Caan is the man  8)
