Hey guys I have been watching a lot of shows and movies in Netflix lately.


I was looking for some ideas that aren't as main stream... Everyone has seen the godfather, goodfellas, casino, pulp fiction ect

Some of the ones I have seen lately are Cop Land which was really good!! I saw that when I was younger but didn't remeber it..

Also Peaky Blinders which is a short series on a British crime family that is great!!!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Try these Homers

The French Connection
A Bronx Tale
Carlitos Way
The Firm

At the top of my head some mob or crime movies:
Analyze this
Analyze that, both are comedy but I liked them
wannabes
rise of the footsoldier
Il camorrista, look at Furrio's thread he posted the movie there
Mean streets
snatch
lock, stock and barrel
Serpico
il capo dei capi mini series
boss of bosses
the bonnano movies
Witness to the mob
Chicago overcoat
Kill the Irishman
Rob the mob
Gotti

Not all of them are real mob movies but they have the element of crime in them. And most are under the radar except for the British ones.

Wannabes is one of the worst movies ive ever seen, it was so bad i couldnt stop watching.

The Long Good Friday
Mona Lisa
True Romance
White Heat
Angels with Dirty Faces
The Public Enemy
Miller's Crossing

The Pope of Greenwich Village

Prince of the city

There's a British film from the early 70s starring Richard Burton called villain which is good although a bit dated compared todays gore fest type films. It was said Burton based his character on Ronnie Kray


Witness to the mob is not bad and Gotti was good, Armand Asante nailed it...

I don't know why, but I loved the movie wiseguys with danny devito. Captain lou's character was hilarious

See pay or die good old movie.

Public enemy is my favorite gangster movie with Cagney. See it more then once you will miss a lot of cool little shit if you see it just once.

my taughts exactly.

And about wannabes i also have to agree it was one of the worst Movies i saw. As is the case with a bunch of those low budget Mafia themed movies.

Murder inc with Peter falk is ok. It'd be pretty cool to see a remake.

Gomorrah, The Sicilian Girl (La siciliana ribelle).

American Me and Blood In Blood Out for some awesome Mexican gang/prison movies

getting gotti is also quite good

That was a freaking good movie.

I knew someone who worked for them. His day job he used his truck to move furniture. He also used his truck to remove the bodies they killed.

He was a good guy he would also use his truck to take us to jones beach for the day.

Bugsy Malone with Scott Baio comes to mind. It really captured the essence of the mafia at that time.

Thanks guys I have seen and enjoyed a Bronx tale, both Carlitos ways (Pacino and new one), French connection, true romance, snatch, French connection and public enemy.

I think I am going to try one of the following and I was hoping I could get some input :

The pope of Greenwich village
The firm
Gotti
Witness the mob
Wise guys
Murder inc

Thanks guys!!

I really have a hard time understanding how exactly Cop Land is a mob movie. Other than what the papers say, what is revealed near the end, it seems mostly to deal with that group of dirty cops.


Anywho, I think an underrated but good Mob film, is To Kill The Irishmen. It's a pretty straight forward film and low budget, but for what it is, I think it's worth it.

If we're talking comedies, as mentioned Analyze This & That are great films too. I couldn't stop laughing watching Analyze This the other day, I prefer the first film, to the second though. And Mickey Blue Eyes, is another too. Also the film with Steve Martin, that they say is loosely based on Henry Hill's life in the witness protection program.

Also, The Untouchables, not the shitty movie with Kevin Costner, but the television series from '59-60's is a great program too for mob buffs.

Thanks Sinatra

And I guess I do agree with you Cop Land isn't really a mob movie.

But they were corrupt cops which could of been classified as organized crime in a way.

I bet they could have taken a RICO indictment and they mention the mob lol ....

Either way I thought it was a good movie and I want to take a trip on that road along the water and bridge... I am 20 min away..... North Jersey

Not really a mob movie, but Straight Time is a good one. Written by Eddie Bunker, a former professional thief.

Witness to the mob is one of my favorite mob movies. It seems very well put together with a good cast.

Here's some mob movies I own if ya want some others:

The departed.
Frankie the Fly
Funeral
History of Violence
Sugartime
Turn of Faith

awesome movie!

"A Deadly Business"....It's a movie about Harold Kauffman, a mob associate turned CI in the garbage industry. It also touches on a NYC garbage hauler named Charles Macaluso, who operated a company out of the Middlesex County NJ area.



It's a decent flick...A young Armand Assante is in the movie.



The script by Al Ramrus is based on the true story of Harold Kaufman, portrayed by Alan Arkin as a little guy with a conscience, especially after he participates in a Passover seder with the family of his new female friend. Just for sympathetic-image insurance, the woman, named Ann Behrens, is played by Michael Learned, long the indomitable mother of ''The Waltons.'' On the Mafia side, the familiar types range from the impeccably tailored businessman Charles Macaluso, done to a silky villainous turn by Armand Assante, to the fat, jolly killer named Vitola, realized with perfect obnoxiousness by Jon Polito.
