I'm way tired of all the threads about Katrina. So in attempt to change what seems to be the predominant subject of late...whats your favorite crime/mafia movie? I say crime/mafia because things like scarface and carlito's way aren't really exactly mafia...but close enough

I gotta go with Goodfellas, edging out Godfather by a little bit.

I might be wierd, but Ill go with Casino thats a real good movie!

Casino is in my top 3, just behind Scarface and Good Fellas. Sharon Stone should have been nominated for an Oscar for that performance. You develop a pure hatred for her character. And Joe Pesci was pure evil. De Niro wasn't too shabby either.

Godfather II is my favorite overall, and my favorite of the three Godfather movies.

It's a tie between Good Fellas and the original Godfather for second place. Good Fellas hit closer to home. I went to highschool with family members of people the movie was based on.

Analyze this comes in third. Laugh my arse off every time I watch it.

I'll go with Untouchables here, but to be fair I havn't seen Scarface or any of the Godfathers

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :thud:

Dude, seriously, stop what you are doing and go to Blockbuster right now, reorganize your netflix queue, or whatever you have to do and rent Scarface, Godfather I and II. Godfather part III is sub-standard, but you can rent that if you want.

Seriously.

Why are you still sitting at the computer? Go!

I'll start with Mafia movies, because its hard to lump Training Day in with the mafia movie genre:

1. The Godfather. This is irrefutable. Any of you who don't agree are wrong. This is the best mafia movie of all time.

2. Goodfellas. Amazing movie. Joe Pesci deserved an Oscar for his performance.

3. The Godfather part II. The only reason it isn't as good as the original is because there is no Marlon Brando.

4. Casino. "Get this clown out of here and use his head to open the doors." Great stuff. Another great Pesci role as well.

5. Scarface. I consider this a mafia movie, even though its Cuban mafia/drug lords. Still the same genre. Tony Montana will go down in infamy as one of the best movie characters of all time, and probably one of the most quoted.

No one said "Miller's crossing?" Bugsy. Those were ok too. Mobsters. Road to Perdition was cool too. LOL to Johnny Dangerously. My favorite is Goodfellas though. There are so many though. I literally saw that movies between 15-20 times. I used to sneak in the movies when it came out in '84 or '85 making me around 14 or 15.
