Best Mob Movie Of All Time Is....???
all are worthy nominees in my humble opinion, and I know this will spark much debate, but I think Donnie Brasco was the best one. Johnny Depp and Al Pacino became Lefty Ruggierio and Joe Pistone. The scene where Lefty gets "the call" (as he knows he is going to get whacked for having brought Donnie in) and he leaves behind his watch and wallet and says good-bye to his wife, is as powerful as it gets.

This of course is no knock on the other nominees. All great great movies.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

I know Dollarbills will think it blasphemy, but I would rank Donnie Brasco and Goodfellas ahead of both Godfather movies.

without a doubt. Martin Scorsese > Francis Ford Coppola

Scorsese paints a broader brush, and applies more pop culture, drug use, the real 60s

without losing the character development and more intimate look into the lifestyle of the Mob

Hes just a cooler dude the Coppola

Interestingly, that scene where Lefty (Al Pacino) leaves his watch and wallet behind after he gets "the" call is fictionalized. In real life, Lefty did NOT get whacked. He was picked up by the FBI and given the opportunity to rat. He refused to do it, and was sentenced to 12 years in jail. He did his time (without ratting on anyone) and died of cancer on the outside. It was Sonny Black (the Michael Madsen charachter) that distributed his jewelry to his crew after he got "the" call, and knew what was going to happen to him.

I did not include Scarface because I don't view that as a "mob" movie (at least not in the traditional sense).

I suspected that Goodfellas would get the most votes.
