I love Donnie Brasco! I didn't understand the end to Once Upon A Time In America. Lanksy is a good movie.

I'd love to see that film, Turnbull! Is it subtitled? There really are some great European films about, aren't there? As for recommendations of my own: Donnie Brasco, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and for a gritty tale of a real-life story of a Mafia narcotics smuggling ring look no further than my all time favourite: The French Connection!

Originally posted by Capo de La Cosa Nostra: I'd love to see that film, Turnbull! Is it subtitled?

And yes, there are many good European films--and many more from the Fifties and Sixties. my all time favourite: The French Connection!
I watched it yet again just last week on DVD. A very great movie--one of the best.

THe Best Car Chase is in the French COnection.
The Movie itself is not one of the best but a good movie nevertheless

Seconded, Turnbull.
Bullitt sets the benchmark for great chases.

Originally posted by Mike Sulivan: The Movie itself is not one of the best Shame on you, boy! To each his own I suppose. I'd agree with the best car chase being that of "Bullitt," solely as it is a car-on-car chase, whereas TFC sees Popeye chasing a train. Watched The French Connection last night again. Fantastic! Mick

What about The GF's (I and II), Goodfellas, Casino, Once Opon a Time in America, Scarface, Donnie Brasco, JFK, Patton, Saving Private Ryan, One Flew over the Cucuous Nest, Casablanca, Lawrence Of Arabia, the list is just ENDLESS.
Platton and MORE!
The French Connection is a good movie but not one of the best.

Originally posted by Mike Sulivan: The French Connection is a good movie but not one of the best. Like I said, to each his own; I have seen most of the films you listed there, and all are at elast in my top 100. The Godfather Parts I and II are, in my personal preference, second to only one film: The French Connection. I'd say that The Godfathers Part I and II are better films, technically, but I am going by sheer enjoyability. Mick

Are we talkin' gangster movies or any "must have" flicks? To the gangster genre, I'd add Mean Streets, Road to Perdition (yeah, I know it's not a "gangster" movie in the extreme sense of the term, but it's great), Gotti, Reservoir Dogs, and perhaps The Untouchables (although I still haven't had the forethought to pick up the latter one yet). Other flicks? IMHO: Platoon, Patton, The Deer Hunter, Saving Pvt. Ryan, Tombstone, Excalibur, Braveheart, Schindler's List, Jesus of Nazareth (albeit I look eagerly forward to Mel Gibson's The Passion due out next Easter), LOTR I & II (please don't stone me for those! ), and, of course, The Matrix.

Any musical tends to have a week unsatifyin story line and I saw West side to be a cheap Modern Day rip off of Romeo and Juliet.
Gresse was Ok.

The only help i can provide is in mafia related movies. I will try to post only the ones that wernt mentioned earlier but if i do, i apologize.
Dillinger and Capone Analyze this (and analyze that) Ronin Oceans Eleven Reservoir Dogs* Wall Street* Gangs of New York* Hoodlum Bugsy Getting Gotti The Last Don I and II Pulp Fiction Great Mafia Movies I and II (3 movie sets) The Score* State of Grace The Devils Advocate**
* Denotes not Mafia but gangster related ** this was a gift and is my personal favorite non mafia film besides Forrest Gump,The Lion King, and Karate Kid II
Bart, Is it wrong to steal a loaf of bread to feed your starving family? No. Well suppose you got a large starving family, is it wrong to steal a truckload of bread to feed them? Uh-uh. And what if your family don't like bread, they like cigarettes? I guess thats ok. Now what if instead of giving them away, you sold them at a price that was practically giving them away. Would that be a crime Bart?
