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.
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

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.

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..
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.
