If you like The Departed you should check out Mou gaan dou (Infernal Affairs) which it is a remake of. Personally I preferred the original though reading subs is always a bit of a distraction. Maybe Casino or Sacrface should be in there, but we could go on forever like this . . .

Actually I checked and it does have Ray Liota, as well as Joe Pesci.

I voted for Goodfellas, but my favourite mob movie is Once Upon A Time In America, hands down.

No, Goodfellas is the one with Tom Berenger.

I personally am surprised by all of your choices. First of all, I have not seen all of these that were on the list so I understand how I only have limited knowledge and I do understand personal preference, but honestly how could you guys not prefer the Departed over these movies. That movie was top-notch for acting….I dont care if you guys dont like Di’Caprio, hatred aside he does an amazing job. Plus that movie was just sooo gut wrenching. I did honestly like Goodfellas, I have not seen it in awhile, thats the one with Ray Liotta in it right?

King Of New York is a great movie. Still haven’t seen Sexy Beast.

Goodfellas all the way. I want to be different and pick something else, but I can’t bring myself to do it.

Godfather II has the great Robert DeNiro flashbacks, but the original Godfather has the great Marlon Brando. Godfather > Godfather II.

I almost picked The Godfather because it is literally the best IMO (as it is the most timeless and has the most integrity) but I cheated and picked Scarface because its my favorite and easily the most infinitely watchable mob film I’ve seen.

“(what is it about crime flicks that make them so damn compelling?)”

For me its the fantasy of telling people what to do and having them follow your every word with the power of fear and blasting a room full of thugs with a grenade while coked out of your mind. Which would be way more badass than what I do right now except my family life would be miserable and I’d get shot to death.

Ahh…the thought of putting a horse head on the bed of George Lucas so he’d let me make a Star Wars movie set way after the Original Trilogy is turning into some horrid mob nerdgasm….

I donÃ‚Â´t mind Goodfellas leading, as I voted for it, but that Godfather leads over Godfather II, that bothers me

1. The Godfather Part II
2. The Godfather
3. Once Upon a Time in America
4. Goodfellas
5. The Departed
6. Road to Perdition
7. Miller’s Crossing

All are A+ films in my book.
