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.
NEITHER New Jack City OR Scarface COUNTS!!!
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!)
