    City of God is better than Casino.

    Honourable mentions to Lock Stock, Snatch, Usual Suspects, and Reservoir Dogs.

    Once Upon a Time in America is too damn long. Practically a miniseries.

    I'd probably put Chinatown ahead of Casino, too.

    I hear that they're remaking Scarface.

    Did you see that in an interview last week Coppola said it was a mistake to have made Godfather part 2.

    I did see that.

    II was an absolute great movie.

    If you haven't seen Once upon a time in America, you really should. It's not a widely viewed movie

    Godfather, Godfather II, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction I think are top 4 in that order. #5 could be any of a good amount of titles. speeds named some great ones.

    Depends on which 'gangsters' but I think Taylor Hackford's Blood in Blood out is severely underrated.
