I love 'Across 110th Street' and the biggest thing that strikes me about that flick is desperation, these guys reeked of it, you could really feel for the characters and they felt real. Every one of em from Quinn to the black hoods looking to bolt out of Harlem with the big score.

I must watch 'Jackie Brown' again, I saw it years ago but the only thing I remember is De Niro having a blast on that base pipe and that foxy brown hoochie.

I also watched on Youtube that 'Witness To The Mob' and thought that opening scene was pretty good. I saw this years ago but the main things I remembered were the opening scene and the end. Sammy was obviously a literate guy though I never read the book. Deluded maybe. But the best bits of the movie were Sammy's own words slotted into the flow of the action. Yeah, apart from Jay Leno as Gotti, not a bad flick, slickly done when you compare it to some other B-movie mob stories.

Thanks to the Dapper Don for reminding me of that one.

There's only one Irishman here. That's my pick up line every time I go to an Irish bar in Washington Heights.

The Friends of Eddie Coyle

Any flick with Robert Mitchum is worth seeing. Charlestown looks grim in 'The Friends Of Eddie Coyle'.

This movie never gets shown hardly ever but is pretty entertaining. A bit camp with Diamonds prancing around like a ballerina (or so I remember it) but entertaining still. 'The Rise And Fall Of Legs Diamond' shows Legs moving in on Rothstein's operations. Mad Dog Coll also plays a role:- http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0054243/

Good '70s flick, Eddie Coyle was. But not NEARLY as good as the book.

The Brink's Job

Gangs of New York

The Untouchables

Donnie Brasco

Carlito's Way

Mafioso ( Italian) subtitled

This is a pretty good biker movie from the early 90's. Starring Charlie Sheen and Michael Madsen this 'fact based story' is exactly what you'd expect from a biker flick. It's called 'beyond The Law' and it is here on Youtube for anyone wanting to catch a sneak of what is routine drill for outlaws everywhere, weeding out the rogue Cop in the ranks played by Charlie Sheen:-

Oh yeah, it also features Robbie Robertson's 'Broken Arrow' which is one of the few power ballads of the 80's that I really like and this always reminds me of it.

Probably should have been posted in an outlaw biker thread this one but to be honest I can't think of too many outlaw biker flicks worth seeing. There's pretty much Sons Of Anrchy and this. The rest have either been 'Easy Rider' or dreadful IMO.

Whoa, just thinking of any decent flicks with outlaws got me thinking of my second fave Sam Peckinpah flick cos of that scene where Kristofferson and his biker buddies cross the Spanish dude and pay with their lives.

This one's called 'Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPaUPU9xdgM and the whole plots just a glorified shoot em up of epic proportions but don't let that put you off cos there are some damn near perfect scenes and to me its just a great mob movie cos...

1) He's he's on the trail of some deadbeat bandit who committed the ultimate sin and knocked up some Mexican mob boss's daughter

2)The hired trigger men add real class even if they have none, elbowing hookers at the bar and killing anything and everything that stands in their way.

3) It even has a reference to a Saint in a way any mob guy could relate to. When Elita pleads Warren Oates character Bennie about the sanctity of this and that and sacred ground he just turns to her and spits with real venom something along the lines of "Well it's okay to dig up a saint ain't it? Well Alfredo's a saint, he's the saint of our money" and that puts it to bed real cold and his reasoning of it cos we need bread and fuck the sanctity of the dead is his take on it.

Pretty messed up shit the whole flick just explodes in carnage but it works cos it's Sam Peckinpah and he knows what he's doing. It's far from perfect but that's what I like about it. Watch it and you'll see what I'm talking about.

This one divides opinion but I love it!

Catch joe Pesci first movie The death collector with joe cortese prett good I thought. My all time favorite is public enemy youth Cagney. You have to see it more then once to really aporeciate the little bits of dialog in it. That was a great movie.

I like Pacino in Donnie brasco and others. I did not like Johnny depp only because I could not get past those little baby hands of his. He could not hurt anyone with those little mitts of his. Unless he had a gun in those hands.

There is a movie about scores. Which was called score Robert deNiro in it. I did not think it was realistic I have benn in a hundred scores, but never anything like that. He was a genius " it just physics" is he kidding me I take a physic when I need to take a dump. To me a real score was tge one in heat when a big truck crashes into sn armored car.

All like you steal a truck crash into kings plaza and crash it in a jewelry store and take what you can get and drive out.

Or you find yourself sitting next to Jerry Lewis first wife watching a chorus line. The notice the nice diamond ring on her finger. Then all of a sudden you make up your mind and take tge ring off her and run out of tge theather.

Or etc etc etc

I agree. It wasn't good.

10th & Wolf is alright.

That movie sucked. I guess it was hard for them to do, considering the fact that Skinny Beat all those murders

Once upon a time in america is the most underrated movie of all time

Married to the mob and Analyze this..if comedies count..

Surprised there's been no mention of Bugsy yet. Beatty is great in it and Annette Bening is smoking. Excellent movie imho.

The Don is dead. B movie but its great. It even has te commission in it which I liked because I allways look at how realistic this and that is. Anthony Quinn is the Don. I can't believe no one mentioned this movie!

the freshman with marlon brando

witness to the mob

I personally can't stand that movie i much prefer Gotti.

If we can throw comedies in I would say "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight." Supposedly there were a lot of similarities to the Gallo crew and their associates. Also it features a very young DeNiro in what I think was one of his first roles.On the other side of the coin, I think that Gotti with Assante was one of the worst movies ever. Other than the fact that there were people named John Gotti,Sam Gravano,Neil DellaCroce,and Angelo Ruggiero in real life there is very little to separate this film from the fiction category. Also I wasn't a big fan of Assante's performance,not because he can't act,but because Gotti was such a one-dimensional mook that it doesn't take much of a stretch to portray him.Take an average actor,dress him in a suit,do his hair and have him either perform mayhem or threaten mayhem,and you pretty much have it down.

What do you think of Witness To The Mob if you've seen it?

Boss of All Bosses, Witness to the Mob, & Gotti all tell the same story with its own personal slant. They are each entertaining, but they each pretty much suck. But I still like them.
