Yes she is. I love that movie, but wouldn't call it the best.

How about A Bronx Tale, Millers Crossing, or The Krays? Those are some killer flicks. :)

"Bound" is hardly a Mob movie. More like a voyeuristic lesbo-crime flick. That it can get a better rating than "Gattaca" is another supporting point for the fact that there are a lot of idiots.

Miller's Crossing gets my vote. It's a Coen brother's film so it's not your typical mob movie but it's still one of my all-time favorites of the genre.

And who can forget Billy Bathgate.

Hehehe and get shorty. -edit- (SP)

I know you said BEST, but I love gangster/mob movies. Especially chinese ones. But I don't know theyr names except for the one above. :)

I'd have to say Goodfellas is just about the most well known mob movie there is. ;)

And Bound is definitely not a true mob movie. It's got a lot of gangsters in it, but the heroes, and the main characters, are the ones who rip off the mob.

I'd have to say a mob movie centers around them, not people ripping them off. Still a damn fine movie though. :)

Another vote for Miller's Crossing and A Bronx Tale...AWESOME MOVIES! I'm not sure how well known it is, but what about Once Upon A Time In America?

Oh yeah...and Gina Gershon is definately en fuego...

Has anyone seen Things To Do in Denver when You're Dead? Christopher Walken is funny in that movie.

Oh and King of New York, that's another Walken flick.

For Hong Kong Action Gangster movies I recommend Rich and Famous, Chow Yun Fat is a mob boss in that movie, very cool.

How about Billy Bathgate (mmmm.....Nicole Kidman :)) or Houdlum (not sure if that's how you spell it but Lawrence Fishburn is awesome, and Venessa Williams :D)

<< My god, Gina Gershon is TOO hot. >>



Ya know, that's the first time I've heard a woman refer to another woman as being HOT. I've heard my sister refer to other women as pretty, cute or beautiful, but never hot. Hmmmmm.....I think I need to lie down now....

That's actually pretty accurate.

What do you guys think about Carlito's Way and Donnie Brasco?
