Was 'Analyze This' on the list? That was good. Also didn't Stallone have a hit mafia movie - (Oscar or something like that)?

I voted for Donnie Brasco, I was actually pretty surprised there wasn't more votes for it.

If that's what you meant,Tony Montana was not a Don,but you don't need a Don in a movie to relate it to Mafia.Scarface is known as a Gangster type of movie or "The movie that made a project on the word "Fuck" " But even so,Mafia is very much related in Scarface Why goodfellas is a mafia movie ? was De Niro a Don? Ray Liota a Don? Same for Casino- De Niro a Don ? Peschi? And if other actors were Dons,is that a Mafia movie? Also,something very important - if you don't know-a Don is not always on top of a Mafia family. Don is a word of respect,and there are many Dons in the world who are not on top of a Mafia family.

Paulie was a Capo of teh Luchese Family, Jimmy and Henry were associates, Tommy was almost MADE< and besides the sub-title is 30 years in A MAFIA Family! Casino is Mafia because Santorro was a Made Man who went against the Boss and got killed for it! And Besdiers they were Ityalian/Jew actors, unlike Scarface's Hispanic. What the HELL doe sScarface have to do with the Mafia? I'm NOT rernaming the Post favorite NON-GF/NON-Scarface Mob movies!  I exlcuded Scarface on purpose!

Ok, I know Fame is going to come back and stick me with the TRUE definition of Mafia (There ISN"T one :p ), when I say Mafia, I mean Family/Cosca/Crew/Clan/Regime of Italian/Jewish/Irish Gangsters in the world of Organized Crime otherwise known as the Mob, whom are up above the street-level crap like DEALING drugs. Scarface is A) Cuban, B) It's about DRUGS, not the Mafia! C) ... do I need a C?

Wow, and Godfather wasn't? Seriously though, you a huge Godfather fan - fair do's, I respect you for that. But this film was only released the year following the Godfather. i recommend you check it out. I bought it and found it to be a great film but the VHS version is terrible. i'm not sure if there is a DVD copy and if there is I hope for it to be good quality.
So die all who betray Giuliano

Prizzis Honor - a black comedy with Jack Nicolson
Valachi Papers - old Charles Bronson film - not great filmmaking but important for historical reasons as Joe Valachi was one of the first guys to break omerata.
Scarface (Pacino's version)
New Jack City - hey if scarface is there include this
Mean Streets - I never liked it that much, as it looks like a precursor to the great Goodfellas. I might have liked it if I had seen it before Goodfellas.

No kiddin! Casino has to be one of the most underated movies ever! Just because it was similar to Goodfellas in a few ways the critics think it isnt as good. It really makes me mad.
I buy you out. You don't buy me out.

Sorry abotu Mean Streets (Click Other!) Bronx Tale IS FICTIONAL! Casino is like Goodfellas becasue TWO Lead Males (Pesci/DeNiro)are the same, and a minor male is the same (Billy Batts/Frank Marino) Same AUTHOR: Nick Pileggi, Same Time Period (1970-80's), different setting, different Mob (They STILL think it's too similar, maybe because Pesci says F 100+ times in each one!)
