"I love Sexy Beast, absolute classic. Savoy Hotel, pissing of rain outside: Teddy 'Where's Don, Gal?' Gal, uncomfortably eating his fry up while trying to be normal 'I told already you Ted, I don't know' Teddy 'tell me again'"

Re: Best Gangster movie
Get Carter was another British classic The yanks murdered it in the remake. Mona Lisa was decent also

Re: Best Gangster movie
"State of Grace NY Irish mob film about the Westies starring Sean Penn, Ed Harris and a scene stealing performance from Gary Oldman. Maybe Oldman’s best performance. Late 80s / early 90s film - would be in my top 5 gangster movies. Others would be Bronx Tale, Goodfellas, Carlitos Way and Casino."

"I re-watched Gangster Number 1 not so long ago, it's a bit fucking disturbing. Brutal. I saw that they are making yet another Rise of the foot soldier, this time in Ibiza. Get Carter is a classic."

Re: Best Gangster movie
"Once Upon A Time In America for me as well. Watched it 3 times in a row whilst off my head in my irresponsible younger years, when it first came out. Mean Streets, love it, especially the pace of the film and the music goes with it brilliantly. There’s some French gangster/crime films by Jean Pierre Melville that have some brilliant passages in them, (massively ripped off by Tarantino), but as whole films, nowhere near as good as the above. There’s a bank heist one of his, which I’d be amazed if it wasn’t the basis for the start of reservoir dogs."

"Don’t want fo make myself as some kind of film expert but the Music to OUTIA is the best ever of any film in my humble Enzo Marricone. Fucking brilliant,wouldn’t as a rule take any notice."
Re: Best Gangster movie
"For me it’s a toss up between the two,Once Upon a time in America and The Goodfellas,Godfather 1 and 2 are both good as is A Bronx Tale but not a patch on the prior two for me."

"Syd - Yep, that has to be the best UK one. There's load of them, Carlito's Way, Donnie Brasco, Blow, American Gangster and Road to Perdition are all great films."

"Tough to choose the best, been so many especially in the 90,s, off the top of my head, always loved Casino with De Niro and Pesci, also brilliant together in Goodfellas. Scarface and Millars Crossing also top picks in my humble, if you want a British gangster film then not sure you can go past The Long Good Friday."

Re: Best Gangster movie
"Depends on your taste, and do you place a film about the mafia in the gangster category? Once Upon a time is a masterpiece, but for me nothing will top Goodfellas."
