I also think that the book "Havana Nocturne" could be turned into an awesome movie.

I'd love to see a well-produced, mini-series dramatization of John L. Smith's biography of the Mob's Attorney, the Dean of Martinis, the Happiest Mayor in the World... Oscar Goodman ("Of Rats and Men.") Netflix is doing wonderful things with their original series; this could really be a project for them. But sadly, I don't believe we'll see a screen-dramatization of Oscar's epic ego and epic drive until after he's gone.
"Gone?"
Gone.
He was truly the godfather of the courtroom. As much as I want to see this as a movie, I'll no less say, "long live Oscar."

Murder Machine definitely, but there's no one out there that really looks that much like the people in that book. I mean Ray Liotta as Roy DeMeo in that Iceman movie?!? No thank you.
Also, if they ever did make a Murder Machine film they should use scratch and sniff cards for the scene where Montiglio stays over for dinner at the Horror Hotel with the two bodies being bled out in the bathroom. Also, they'd definitely need to get Savini to the special make-up effects.
And another vote for Blood and Honor as well, although can't think of anyone acting today that would be good to play Scarfo.

Gaspipe needs to be told. Those guys were absolutely nuts. So many murders and crazy behavior. Michael Imperioli (typecast as he may be) at looks like Anthony. Wass Stevens as Vic. He's the actor from house of Cards that got in a fight with Peter Russo.
Philly from 1970's-present plays better as a miniseries. Large cast, extensive scope. Start with Bruno, end it with Ligambi getting off.
If they could have done it right, Gangster Squad would have been a better film. The book simply had too much info for a two hour movie. And "studio picture" is putting that star studded crap nicely. It's really a shame because the book was a phenomenal read with lots of info on not just Mickey, but Dragna's outfit as well.
