The public enemy (Again.. '30s movie.. *grin*)

Ordered them both...received them both...waiting to see them both! :-D
I would like to mention Little Caesar (1931) as a very decent gangster movie. Just seen this one, as it was among my dvds buying..

Re: Favourite "gangster" movies

Depends on your definition of 'Gangster'

If you limit it to Mafia type films the answer for me is Easy, Goodfella's

If you include all gang films then it might have to be Boyz in the hood

If you include all organised crime movies that have a gang or crew working together then then the scope to wide and I could list 100 including the ones mentioned here like Pulp Fiction, Layercake & Heat.

Re: Favourite "gangster" movies

My personal opinion on the matter..

Scarface [1932] > Scarface [198?]
