The ES Decision: The Best Mob Movie

[Sticksboi05]

What do you all think?

[#98QBKiller]

A tie between the Godfather II and Goodfellas.

[BigMike619]

Goodfellas
A Bronx Tale
Casino

[Bang]

The Godfather and Godfather 2 should be considered one movie for purposes of this poll. It's like trying to pick which of your kids you love more.

Objectively I'd have to say The Godfather but my personal favorite is Carlito's Way.

[Sticksboi05]

For me it's between the first two Godfather's and Goodfellas.

[HOF44]

Goodfellas FTW!

benny blanco from the bronx...

and sean penn was a great douchebag in that movie.

[THEREALTOR1]

No option for Johnny Dangerously? What's up with that?

:D

Me personally, i'd have to lean towards Goodfellas.

[RammsteinSkins]

You happen to be watching Goodfellas on A&E right now? Good timing lol

[Chachie]

The "greatest" is probably the Godfather.


The "best" as in the one I enjoyed the most? Goodfellas.

2. Scarface
3. Casino



I just finished watching Heat on Bravo. I know it's not on the list and doesn't really fall under "mobster" but what a great cops and robbers film.

[RammsteinSkins]

I love mob movies but Casino is my favorite movies.

Goodfellas in second with Godfather in 3rd.

American Gangster is a pretty good one too.

my mother forgot johnny dangerously once....once.

I loved Goodfella's, but Carlito's way was great too.

Soprano's was one of my favorate series of all time though. I watched a behind the scenes of the Soprano's and someone said that the actual mafia in prison were so wrapped up in the show that when ever there would be an "inaccuracy" in how the mafia would do something, they would write in and make criticism's.

In one episode Tony was wearing shorts at a BBQ, and apparently Mob Boss's don't wear shorts, and they wrote in criticizing the episode. Well the next season in an episode, (may have been later that season but i doubt it, i cant remember) Phil Leatardo makes a derogatory comment about how he was wearing shorts at the BBQ. Great way to tie it all together and cover their arse. Awesome series.

Goodfellas
A Bronx Tale
Casino

Good call on A Bronx Tale, it's completely underrated.

My favorite mob movie is Goodfellas. When Conway takes a huge drag off that cig and "Sunshine of your love" starts playing, it makes me want to buy an AK-47 and an 8-ball.

[BigMike619]

Good call on A Bronx Tale, it's completely underrated.


I still live by the rule "when you open the door for a woman to your car if she doesnt lean over and at least unlock your door then shes not a keeper" but since i have a truck I just look to see if she unlocks the door from the auto lock.

and Deniro as a normal every day guy in such a mob movie was not only shocking but really cool I thought. he wasnt the tuff guy for once.

[Sticksboi05]

Remember guys this isn't your FAVORITE, it's the BEST.

[BigMike619]

Remember guys this isn't your FAVORITE, it's the BEST.

wouldnt you consider your favorite to be the best?

[StillUnknown]

Godfather pt.2

Goodfellas

[Sticksboi05]

wouldnt you consider your favorite to be the best?

Well, my dad's favorite is Goodfellas but he says there's still no question the Godfather is the better of the two movies (not a knock on Goodfellas but praise for the amazing movie the Godfather is). My favorite is a tie between the two but I think Godfather is the better movie as well.

Well I respectfully disagree with you on that. I believe that Goodfellas is a better story because it has so many good actors and it is a true story.

[BKSkinsFan]

Goodfellas, Scarface, Godfather all GREAT movies.

What about Pulp Fiction and Resorvoir Dogs???

[BigMike619]

resorvoir dogs wasnt a mob movie. they were just random robbers brought together to hit a jewelry store.

and was pulp fiction mob? i know they were a crew but were they mob?

[Spaceman Spiff]

I gotta go with Goodfellas. Feel like I'm dissing Godfather 1 and 2....but I know life stops when any of the three are on TV.

Casino is right under those as well. Scarface too.

Goodfellas is just a perfect movie.

EDIT: And I'm assuming Stickboi started this cause Goodfellas is on A&E right now. I've been lucky enough to catch the last hour of it.

[MissU28]

I just finished watching Heat on Bravo. I know it's not on the list and doesn't really fall under "mobster" but what a great cops and robbers film.

That's my boyfriend's favorite movie.

The only two I've seen on the list are Goodfellas and Donnie Brasco. I really liked Donnie Brasco. We own all the rest of those movies, but I personally haven't watched them.

[MissU28]

Good call on A Bronx Tale, it's completely underrated.


Great movie. My former college roommate's boyfriend was visiting one weekend from NY and he brought it...and watched it over and over. Loved it.

[BigMike619]

I feel like less of a man right now because I forgot to mention The Untouchables.

what about boondock saints?

what about dark knight? i know DK is new but its still a mob movie.

[SkinsBry]

I have a hard time picking just one out of Goodfellas, The Godfather 1 & 2, and Casino.

[#98QBKiller]

A tie between the Godfather II and Goodfellas.


Pre poll pwn3d

[Sticksboi05]

Well I respectfully disagree with you on that. I believe that Goodfellas is a better story because it has so many good actors and it is a true story.

....De Niro, Pesci and Liotta are matched by Brando, Duvall and Pacino...there's just such an elegance to the Godfather. Both films are amazing but I think the Godfather is better watching the transformation of Michael Corleone to the new Don.

Goodfellas doesn't take as long to develop but the Godfather is better.

But Goodfellas is right behind Godfather I and II.

Pulp Fiction is a black guy named Marcellus....not the mob...

[BigMike619]

you are leaving out so many more important and big name characters from goodfellas.

paul sorvino
frank vincent
lorraine bracco
and spider himself michael imperioli.

the reason it wasnt as elegant is because there was no elegance to goodfellas. it was a true story about what happened and wasnt meant to be dressed up and made all pretty. it was dirty, gritty and it showed exactly what happened.

Ahh, whatever, arguing between the two is like arguing between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.

They are always in the top 100 movies ever lists (of course with the Godfather always top 5).

thats the best analogy of the thread. :cheers:

put either one in and my feet will go up for about 3 hours.

[Skin'Em84]

Boondock Saints.
I'd count that as a mob movie, they are killing mobsters...

[TorresA]

would you consider The Departed a mob movie?

[SC_RedskinsFan]

Casino is my personal favorite

[Midnight Judges]

1. Scarface
2. Godfather


3. Goodfellas

To me, Scarface and The Godfather are on their own level. I loved Goodfellas, great flick. But Scarface and the Godfather are all time greats IMO.

[Fan since a Fetus]

I love Goodfellas. It is my all-time favorite.

I really liked Gangs of New York, but is that really considered a mob movie?

[Sticksboi05]

Scarface is not on the level of Godfather and Goodfellas.

[kevin11]

Scarface is not on the level of Godfather and Goodfellas.either does Once upon America.
