Films like godfather and scarface are the best films ever made

well scarface doesnt really deserve to be mentioned with godfather. Scarface was very entertaining but is a highly overrated movie in my opinion. Its overall just not very good and pretty damn cheesy, yet it was still fun to watch just not deserving of all the great praise it gets.

City of God is a fantastic film, but I don't think it is strictly a 'gangster movie'. It's more about the story of the divergent paths that Rocket and Lil' Ze's lives take; their lives in the favella.

As for legitimate gangster movies, my favorites are:

Miller's Crossing
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Goodfellas
The Usual Suspects
Snatch
Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead
Infernal Affairs

I'm sure there's others, but I can't think of them right now.

that's true i was thinking more of a crime movie. which it is, but not at all a gangster movie

Pulp fiction over godfather?

Very much so, The Godfather is the most overrated film of all time. It's still great, though.

How can you have departed in a top gangster movie list? I thought it was good but not one of best gangster movies....and i agree with solo that godfather is over rated movie..

goodfellas is best gangster movie in my opinion

road to perdition
the good fellas

but nuthin beats the original Godfather.

Brando's performance was instant classic.

hey how about the gangster 1...Johnny Harris is awesome there too...
