For me The Godfather wins hands down. It is such a classy film and with no swearing in it!. I love the change and growth/demise of Michael from college boy to Don Corleone.
I love the look in his eyes when he says to Mo Green "You straightened my brother out?"... I love the fact that he takes no crap and is fooled by no one.. screw with him and you will pay.. no matter who you are.

Re: Poll: Best EVAR gangster movie (now with added quotes!)
When it comes to explaining how organised crime works, I think Goodfellas takes the crown. The Godfather (I prefer part I, but I saw II pretty late and was underwhelmed by De Niro's performance) defined the genre, but organised crime is pretty much just a setting. It has little relevance to the plot.
I'm going to vote for Carlito's Way, because it has a better focus then Goodfellas, while adequately portraying the tragedy caused by organised crime.

Re: Poll: Best EVAR gangster movie (now with added quotes!)
Can't argue with that, except to say that Goodfellas was a bit more all-around entertaining for me. Some blood, some violence, some insight and even some humor. I watch it a few times a year, but I've only seen Carlito's Way 2~3 times.JOZeldenrust wrote:When it comes to explaining how organised crime works, I think Goodfellas takes the crown.
