Best mobster/gangster movies?

[Dandelion]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat ?!?!! I can't believe what I just read. How old were you when you first watched it ?



That's a French film sweetie, not an American one
Un Prophète is a masterpiece of the genre, I am outraged. Do me a favor & re-watch it, ASAP

I recommand you "Polisse" by Maiwenn, another great French film about a police unit specialized in crimes related to children, I think you might find it interesting.

There's also another French futuristic film about the event when your (ethnik) people have overrun the suburbs. Banlieu 13. It takes place in the dystopian future of 2010. I'm sure many immigrant boys waited watching this film until their ethnic group was represented.

I believe there is one such scene when gangs of different ethnicities get shown. Like 'here are the Maghrebs' and 'here are the Haitians' and 'here are the Eastern Euros'. Never seen that film myself, though.

The Godfather II.

I really liked The Departed.

[Linebacker]

Gangster Squad is probably the best one of this decade.

I remember I was postponing that movie for months thinking it'll suk but it was actually a great movie.
