I know this may seem like a question that gets asked quite a bit, but..........
Just wondering why this is.
Watch a mob film, it makes you want to be one of them. You sit back and you go "That guy is cool. He dresses well, has nice hair, takes care of himself."
Then pay attention to the scum that is involved in REAL Life. The people , how they dress, how fat they are, how fucking ugly. It makes you shake your head and go "WTF would I want to be working with that guy for?"
Now grant it, there are guys that look cool such as John Gotti. But lets be honest for example the movie Goodfellas all the characters in that film such as Hill and Vario were ugly as fuck and slobs.
But Hollywood makes them seem the exact opposite than how they really were. Vario looked like a fucking fat tub of lard with bad hygiene and vomit for breath who sits on his computer watching child porn, and Hill just looked like some degnerate loser who lived on the streets who hadnt showered in a week.

First of all any movie does that, no one wants to look at ugly people all through a movie. Second, Tony Soprano and Silvio were ugly and uglier, so were other in the cast, with a few good lookers thrown in, Henry Hill was a rat, he had the best looking actor play him, In The Goddfather, you had Abe Vigoda, Clemenza, and Fredo----not a good looking one in that group. Michael Corleone (Pacino) and Sonny "James Can) were more the exception than the rule. Al Littieri? God help us! As for Vario, while Pau Sorvino looked better, he wasn't in the movie much, the rest of that cast was average looking seen at best.

I have to agree with Rush. It really is a disgrace to see how badly some of these motherfuckers dress. Like what the fuck!!! YOU'RE IN THE MAFIA!! If I was in the mafia I'd only wear designer clothes Ralphie, who stands out to you as the best dressed mob guy right now in the best physical shape? Also which family do you put above anyone else right now in regards to fashion sense? I'd have to say the Bonannos really know how to dress if I was to choose one family.

The Bonannos are definitely the best dressed. To me it's the only family that actually makes an effort when it comes to dressing and being mobsters. The rats like to badmouth them, but that's only because they're miserable rats with no balls and no fashion sense The best dressed guy right now..I'd say it's a toss up between Mikey Nose and Colombo capo Joey Amato
