Simple enuff. Pick one and feel free to explain why you think so. If yours isn't on the list, I'll add it if you want. Add your favorite gangster quotes, if you feel so inclined, like "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."
Even better if you YouTubify it:

It was between The Departed and Goodfellas. None of this romantic bs, show it for what it really is, a business plain and simple.
Nobody expects me...

I voted for Pulp Fiction, but I might as well have voted for bacon with cheese. I'm not really into gangster movies (I haven't even seen most of them).

Re: Poll: Best EVAR gangster movie (now with added quotes!)
I picked the Godfather, but fuck the genre has some awesome films. Goodfellas is about a perfect film as is possible, as is Scarface. I love Carlito's Way, Mean Streets, Once Upon a Time in America and Donnie Brascoe too.... Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are also awesome, but what about Blow, Snatch, Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels, Casino, The Usual Suspects, Gangs of New York?
There must be loads more too. It's one of my favourite genres.
I've never seen The Departed either.

Re: Poll: Best EVAR gangster movie (now with added quotes!)
Too many good lines in Pulp Fiction (in context, at least)... but:
Butch: "You okay?"
Marsellus: "Naw man. I'm pretty fuckin' far from okay."
Jules: "My name's Pitt. And your ass ain't talkin' your way out of this shit."
Honey Bunny: [about to rob a diner] I love you, Pumpkin.
Pumpkin: I love you, Honey Bunny. [Standing up with a gun] All right, everybody be cool, this is a robbery!
Jules: Does he look like a bitch?
Brett: What? ... [Jules shoots Brett in shoulder]
Jules: DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BITCH?
Brett: No!
Jules: Then why you try to fuck him like a bitch, Brett?
Butch: "You okay?"
Marsellus: "Naw man. I'm pretty fuckin' far from okay."
Jules: "My name's Pitt. And your ass ain't talkin' your way out of this shit."
Honey Bunny: [about to rob a diner] I love you, Pumpkin.
Pumpkin: I love you, Honey Bunny. [Standing up with a gun] All right, everybody be cool, this is a robbery!

Brett: What? ... [Jules shoots Brett in shoulder]
