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.

Gotti · 03-29-2005, 01:06 AM

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

Havent seen gangsters, who's in it?

And Mafia! is a parody of gangster movies right?

Blow is also pretty good but i don't consider it to be a gangster movie.

All great movies Gotti. I'd put The Untouchables on my list.

I didn't really even think Blow was all that great, good, but not great.

Gotti · 03-31-2005, 06:07 PM

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?

Gotti · 03-31-2005, 10:04 PM

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.

A Bronx Tale is my favorite one!!!
