Anyway, over the weekend i went through some of my Mafia films. Enjoyed it so Listing my top 5 mob films in order of greatness.

Feel Free to discuss, hopefully give me some ideas for future viewing.

Oh, and i Know im a Heathen but i dont Like the Godfather trilogy.

5. Scarface (original).
4. White Heat.
3. Columbo, Strange bedfellows.
2. Goodfellas.
1. A Bronx Tale.

In reply to Choss:

Donnie Brasco
Mean Streets
Worth seeking out, but better if you have a reasonable understanding of Sicilian Mafia history, is the Italian film Salvatore Giuliano.
and of course you're completely wrong about the Godfather trilogy - 1 and 2 are masterpieces, 3 would be a good film if not for the fact that it suffers from comparison to the first two.

In reply to Choss:

Not a movie, but an excellent TV series made in Germnay (yes, such things exist, even if I don´t know of another example....):

Im Angesicht des Verbrechens:

<heretical views coming>

The Godfather trilogy is one of the most overrated series ever….i hope never to have to sit through it again

<heresy over>

As for a good mafia movie that is a real italian movie and a little bit less hollywood-glamourised, try i cento passi/the hundred steps

In reply to Kimono:

>...The Godfather trilogy is one of the most overrated series ever...

Whaaaaaaat?!?! Godfather 1 is brilliant. [I liked 2 and 3 very much less, admittedly].

Thank you

If you only rate The Cojuring as a 5 you probably won't be too enthused about these but here goes anyway:

Mesrine
Kill the Irishman
Things to Do in Denver when You're Dead
