    Your fav Mob Movie ?

    Was just watching the Godfather this morning on Biography Channel ....

    Made me wonder --- What is my top fav Mob movies ?

    Before, Goodfellas and Casino, I would always have Godfather on top...

    Today though, my favs are ......

    1. Goodfellas

    2. Casino

    3. The Godfather -1

    4. A Bronx Tail

    5. The Godfather -2

    What's your tops ?

    edited to add.......
    I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I was never a fan of Pacino's Scarface...
    Thought it was way more boring then interesting.

    Goodfellas most definitely....followed by the Godfathers (I and II). I was never crazy about Casino...seemed too much of a Goodfellas rip-off for me (same director, based on book by same author and quite a few of the same actors)

      Goodfellas for me.

      I never cared for The Godfather films.

        I just watched Casino for the first time ever about 2 weeks ago. I thought that it was ok but I kept waiting for it to get Goodfella'd and it never happened.

          How 'bout Godfather-3 ?

          I only watch that when I need a white-noise background for taking a nap

            Godfather III seemed like another one of those half-baked attempts at a sequel for the reason "just because"...gotta complete the trilogy mentality.

              Mob movies

              goodfellas. Not a movie but the Sopranos! Wish they would make a Sopranos movie already.

              we are long over due for a good quality made Italian Mob movie.

                Been trying to watch the Sopranos lately on A&E .....

                When it first aired on HBO back in the day, I missed it (not having HBO)

                I just can't get into it ...

                To me, it's just soooooo boring

                I still can't believe how many people liked it back in the day.

                I think the Sopranos is one of the most boring TV shows i've ever seen.

                I'd rather watch paint dry

                        Gotta go with Goodfellas, but I also like Scarface, Casino and The Departed (as well as the Hong Kong film it was based on, Infernal Affairs). Along the same vein, there are also a bunch of Japanese Yakuza and Hong Kong triad films that I like.

                        It may be heresy to some, but I never really cared for the Godfather films. I tried, but just can't get into them.

                        I don't really consider Reservoir Dogs a mob movie exactly, but if we are including it here, then it's absolutely at the top of my list. I love the film and have watched it countless times.

                          I watched it when it aired before or after Band of Brothers on HBO and I totally agree with you.

                            As much as I enjoyed The Departed, I don't consider it a mob film. More of a crime story/cops & robbers film.
