What's your favoutite gangster film???

[rh100]

Not sure if this qualifies - but Road To Perdition is a favourite of mine

 

[accountantpete]

Can we squeeze The Killer into this category as it does involve Oriental gangsters.

 

[rich p]

Mean Streets

 

[2Loose]

In Bruges.

 

[marinyork]

Miller's Crossing, Godfather Parts 1&2. I have to confess I'd never seen the whole of part 3 till relatively recently and "that" performance that got the razzie. I didn't think any of it was as bad as the hysterically bad reviews.

 

[iLB]

scarface surely?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Get Carter
Maltese Falcon
The Big Sleep
French Connection

 

[slowmotion]

Oh yes, Get Carter.

 

[Fnaar]

All of the above, practically!

 

[Greedo]

All of the above, practically!

I know. they are all good shouts.

 

[Wigsie]

I know. they are all good shouts.

+1

Can't believe I had forgotten In Bruges, Scarface and Lock stock

 

[TheDoctor]

Greedo speaketh the sense with Godfather 1 and 2.
I have to agree with Mr Pig about Pulp Fiction too. I love that film!!!

Would 'Lock, Stock etc' count as a gangster film?

On the money there with Miller's Crossing. A fair point too on that performance; I've always thought it was pretty good actually.

Another good'un is "Beat" Takeshi Kitano's Sonatine

I think so. Good film.

Never seen In Bruges, always meant to watch it.

 

[Greedo]

I think so. Good film.

Really good but thinly classed as a Gangster flick. I would class it more as that horrible tag "Black Comedy"

Really good though
