at one point when they grow up & De Niro gets out of jail, they basically go gangsta, so i have to agree with you.

Post by: S P I C E on March 22, 2009, 11:27:09 AM: American Gangster was solid but has no business being mentioned with legendary movies like Goodfellas, Casino, and The Godfather 1 and 2. I actually think The Untouchables is overrated and I really feel that is all because of how terrible Kevin Costner acted in this movie and overall the movie just had to many corny moments.

Godfather 1 and 2 is the best. Goodfellas and Casino are right on that level. Scarface is a great movie but it's not the same as those movies I just listed. Godfather, Goodfellas and Casino are obviously revolved around the LCN or Mafia so to speak while Scarface was more about drug lords and extreme drug trafficking so I consider it a different type of Gangster movie. Donnie Brasco was also great but I have done a lot of research on what really happened and there are several things in the movie that are false and some things that didn't happen but it's still an amazing movie.

My favorite Gangster flicks involving La Cosa Nostra is The Godfather parts 1 and 2, Goodfellas, Casino and Donnie Brasco.

Then some of my other favorite gangster flicks that aren't centered around the Mafia are Scarface, Reservoir Dogs and Carlitos Way.

Godfather part 1 and Goodfellas are the two best IMO.

Post by: Hatesrats™ on March 22, 2009, 02:10:59 PM: Godfather I & II (The Don & Capo of all mafia movies)

Out of the list provided...
I'll go "Goodfellas"
Title: Re: Favourite Gangsta Flick????
Post by: N_M_N on March 22, 2009, 03:25:45 PM: "Gangsta" is something uneducated black kids aspire to be. A gangster is the type of person these movies depict. I'm a Goodfellas fan but Godfather still takes the cake,

Until then,

No More Nonsense.

Title: Re: Favourite Gangsta Flick????
Post by: LooN3y on March 24, 2009, 09:17:15 PM: american gangster was whack as fuck because it was hyped up so much. lol i remember people sayin its going to be on the level of godfather. if it wasnt for the hype itll prob be an okay movie more like colors or blood in blood out on the level of entertainment and genuinity. it had a gang of boring ass points in the movie with 2-3 good actors and all shitty actors, especially TI -_-.

i have yet to see a movie that can fuck with the godfather trilogy.

Gangsta? you guys got some weird definition of G lol.

Heat was dope no doubt, i have a claim that Pachino & De Niro's face were never in the same shot.

back of a head here & there, but never face to face. ;D

Post by: E-L-P on March 25, 2009, 06:51:01 PM: I really like Once Upon A Time In America. It's very underappreciated, Sergio Leone did an amazing job on it.
The Godfather is probably the best though.
Road To Perdition is another underrated film.
The Departed is already a classic also.
Title: Re: Favourite Gangsta Flick????
Post by: S P I C E on March 25, 2009, 07:02:55 PM: How in the hell did I forget to mention the Departed! I need to slap myself

Title: Re: Favourite Gangsta Flick????
Post by: E-L-P on April 02, 2009, 10:52:24 AM: A Bronx Tales is a helluva film, one of my favo DeNiro movies. The soundtrack alone is awesome. But not very much of a mob movie.

Gotti was definitely underrated but there were way to man factual errors for me to consider it a really good movie but Armand Assante did play a great John Gotti
