rofl this poll doesn't have godfather?

Lord of War is a bit of stretch for a gangster flick

Where the f is Godfather?!

Miller's Crossing is good, and so is Gangs of New York. West Side Story is textbook classic, including them with crap like LoW is kinda stupid.

The Departed is totally overrated btw.

I watched American Gangster last night as I was sailing through the Sea of Japan. We were interrupted several times by Korean girls who wanted to take pictures with us.

The Departed is more of a corrupt cop flick rather than pure gangster, but it's good anyway.
Miller's Crossing is also a keeper.
When editing the poll, make sure you differentiate between the Godfather films. They all aren't the same. Godfather III wasn't worthy of the title.

The correct answers are:

Godfather

Godfather 2

that is all.

This one doesn't. I almost forgot about Goodfellas. That's odd since for about a week I'd watch some of it each day.
I just couldn't get enough. :D

Add Donnie Brasco, Casino to the list and for kicks... Blow. :laugh:

I note The Godfather as the best, but have to go with Goodfellas for personal favorite.

Godfather, Goodfellas, Once Upon A Time In America, in that order. None of which are in your woefully lacking poll options. Oh, and this thread gets zero stars. If I could award negative stars, I would.

Xstatic1 loves lists and polls! Here's one I bet she doesn't post...

[] Yes, she should be banned for life.
[] Yes, she should be banned, but only for 2 weeks.
[] No, she shouldn't be banned. But she should be locked out of "Off Topic" forum for 2 weeks.
[] No, she shouldn't be banned at all.
[] Xstatic1 should be declared Sant.
