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.

Well goodfellas instead

Here some gangsters movies:

Godfather triology
Scarface (1932)
Scarface (1983)
Goodfellas
Pulp fiction
Mean streets
Casino
Reservoir dogs
Angels with dirty faces
The public enemy
White heat
The maltese falcon
Carlitos way
The untouchables

road to perdition

Reservoir Dogs.

In order:

Pulp Fiction
Le Samourai
Out of the Past
The Godfather
The Killing
The Departed
Reservoir Dogs
Road to Perdition

That's my list, in a nutshell. Scarface would make my list, if it was any good.

City of God? anyone?

Godfather
Goodfellas
Casino
Departed
Scarface
Road to perdition
Revolver

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

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

but nuthin beats the original Godfather.

Brando's performance was instant classic.

Still haven't seen Goodfellas.

1. The Godfather
2. The Godfather Part II
3. Casino
4. Scarface
5. American Gangster

The Godfather overrated yet you have Pulp Fiction as number one? While Pulp Fiction is great, it's FAR more overrated than The Godfather has ever been.

The first 2 Godfathers, Casino, and Goodfellas are the best Gangster movies IMO.

It took me a while to appreciate the Departed. At first i despised the movie. I thought it was redundant crap that integrated inconsistent plot elements just to shock the audience (the ending for example). Upon several viewings i have to realize that it has some of the best acting and cinematography in any gangster movie. I think for that it deserves credit. It is definitely a better movie than that overrated piece of trash, Casino.
