Re: Anyone interested in mobster movies?

If you're talking about gangster films then I've got some suggestions:

The Godfather - Beautiful cinematography, great filmmaking by Copolla and a wide range of great performances.

Goodfellas - One of my favorite gangster pictures probably because I can classify it in a level all on its own.

Scarface (1932) - I perfer the original Scarface over the Al Pacino one for many reasons.

I've seen all of those im looking for ones that aren't as old as Scarface in the 60s or the God Father

So you've seen the original Scarface? If you haven't, you should. I love older films so I may be biased but I truly think it's a better film than the remake.

I've heard Little Ceaser and The Public Enemey are great films but I haven't seen them yet. They're both from the 30s, though.

Oh, Mean Streets is a great film. It's by Martin Scorsese and stars Robert DeNiro. Which reminds me, Who's That Knocking On My Door is great too. It's not really that "gangster" of a picture but in a smaller scale. Casino, as well. All by Scorsese.

French Connection is supposed to be really good too along with Once Upon a Time in America. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are both excellent films by Tarantino. I think they're great because they're on another level; something new to the gangster film genre.

Guy Ritchie's films may be considered for this genre as well; Snatch., Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are all on new and different level of crime films.

Yeah, but then again, if you go back to early film history, there was so much more than there are today. You have to remember, one of the strongest genres of early film were gangster pictures. One of the first films, The Great Train Robbery, was a gangster film.

The Al Pacino Scarface is the most overrated movie of all time.

It definitely is.

That doesn't mean it's not a good film. De Palma is a great director, which reminds me, check out Carlito's Way if you haven't. However, it is very overrated. I've seen so many worship that film and buy the posters... that's overboard. One of the reasons why I appreciate the original so much more.
