I don't think Blow would qualify as a gangster movie. But if you're going for recommendations, I would recommend Gangsters, maybe not an all time great, but cool to watch

Mafia! is a good one that needs to go up there.

well blows a drug dealing movie, but drug dealers are considered gangsters now. Wouldnt you consider pablo escobar a gangster? Heat isnt really a gangster movie either, but bank robbers are pretty gangster to me :D

Havent seen gangsters, who's in it?

And Mafia! is a parody of gangster movies right?

crazayjay you should really see Once Upon A Time In America. It was supposed to be Sergio Leone's masterpiece. Some people say its better than the Godfather.

But its VERY long.. almost 4 hours long. Didnt feel like 4 hours watching it tho, and if it was any shorter it would of left out important parts of the plot.

How would u define ganster besides the obvious already listed???

Last Man Standing I personally thought was good, but is it really gangster?

Yeah i forgot about that movie, its pretty good. I would consider that a gangster movie.

my definition would be any movie about organized criminals or gangs

I'd say it is definantley one of my favorites, and certainly a gangster movie. Goodfellas probably my favorite. I was thinking suicide kings but it's very loosely based on the mob.

State Property is a good gangster/drug dealer movie.

King of New York is sick - I will never get over the sound when that Brett Weir twerp from the Jerky Boys movie is hanging onto the car door and gets plowed into a fire hydrant... that was insane!

I love gangster movies, they're my favorite. My whole DVD collection is basically gangster movies. Put up a list of your favorites

1. Godfather 1 & 2 & 3 Tied- Really Good
2. Scarface-Ass Kicker :smokin:
3. Goodfellas-Funny because of Joe Pesci
4. Once Upon a Time In America-haven't seen it...wat is it anyway
5. Carlito's Way-I thought it was alright
6. Casino-Kicked ass and funny...Joe Pesci again
7. Donnie Brasco-Good Movie
8. A Bronx Tale-Havent seen it :screwy:
9. King Of New York-Havent seen it :screwy:
10. Heat-Good Thriller between Pacino and DeNiro
Honorable Mentions: The Untouchables, Blow, Boyz N The Hood, Paid In Full, Menace II Society, The Last Don, Boss of Bosses, A Dog Day Afternoon and Gotti

A Dog Day Afternoon was good too and Mafia was hilarious :rofl:
The Last Man Standing was good but didn't have realism like Scarface and the Godfather series. That one movie Blow is a good gangster movie and i consider it a gangster movie because of the drugs, movie, killing, and deception like Scarface.
I LOVE GANGSTER MOVIES!!! :evillol: :smokin: :grinno:

Once upon a time in America is a great looong movie movie with DeNiro and James Woods... some people think its better than the Godfather, its supposed to be Sergio Leone's final masterpiece

A Bronx Tale is a must see too... i think it was directed by Robert DeNiro

Wat about Analyze This and Analyze That.....i still think that it is a gangster movie with a little bit of gangster affiliation.

DeNiro crying in the scenes makes me laugh.

^ Those are worth a watch... but they're not great. They dont even deserve to be mentioned with those other movies... the others are all Classics
