Gangster movies

[StormKnight (1)]

One other movie I would like to present. "The Yakuza," with Robert Mitchum. (1974) An excellent movie even today.

HEAT was a good one as well

Yeah Phee, I enjoyed Heat. I almost forgot about Gorky Park. Those Crazy Reds have gangs too...

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Johnny Dangerously?

[phee]

Another good one.... Bullets Over Broadway

Just re-watched "The Yakuza" with Robert Mitchum, Takakura Ken, directed by Sydney Pollack. I remember why it was such a cool gangster movie when I saw it.

Just saw "The Departed" it was quite good. Martin Scorsese, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, Jack Nicholson. Although other than the fact that there is a lot of deaths (seems too obvious) I'm not quite sure why its called "The Departed".

Oh hell forgot a bunch:

A Clockwork Orange

L. A. Confidential

The Killer

The Usual Suspects

Resivouar Dogs

The Maltese Falcon

Sin City

Yojimbo

Seven Samurai

and very recently:

Slumdog Millionare

Gran Torino

[Scary Guy]

Things to do in Denver when you're Dead

Ocean's 11

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Cool World

The Gangs of New York (oldschool gangs but it counts)

Hackers / Sneakers (gangs of hackers)

Four Brothers

Boondock Saints

The Crow (counts)

and a bunch of others that were previously listed.

Although just about any movie can have a gang in it. However not any movie can be a gang movie where the focal point is around the gang itself rather than them being the antagonists.

Martin Scorsese is one of my favorite directors and "Goodfellas" is one of my favorite movies of all time, gangster or non-.

Here's one of my favorite scenes...don't watch it at work unless you have a really cool boss cuz it's pretty violent and has lots of swears:

Does detroitgothic.net support video embedding?

[Saint Germain]

"The Third Mann" 1948

Gangster movie in the postwar Vienna

[Scary Guy]

Oh I almost forgot "8 heads in a duffel bag"

And any biker and car gang movies although they're not really "gangster" movies.

Black Rain....

[Invictus]

White Heat, The Yakuza Papers, Sonatine, Boiling Point, A better tomorrow. I guess Hard Boiled would count. Oh, Infernal Affairs, the movie The Departed was based on.

[BlackHound]

my fav is Casino

[Invictus]

Oh, Knockaround Guys. That's another good one.

"The Third Mann" 1948

Gangster movie in the postwar Vienna

with Orson Welles

Good movie. I went out of my way to see it back in the day. Hard for me to recommend to a modern ADD audience. Wide critical acclaim that's for sure.

Touch of Evil.... good one
