Welcome to the maiden voyage of my Top Five blog.
Today's topic: Top Five Gangster Movies, organized crime bosses kicking ass and taking names, one of the greatest film genres ever. My list:
1. Goodfellas-Better than The Godfather? Oh yeah.
2. The Godfather-"Leave the gun, take the canoli." One of the greatest lines in the history of cinema.
3. The Godfather Part 2-One of the most creatively told movies I've ever seen.
4. The Departed-Like Shakespere with Southie accents and machine guns.
5. Scarface-Not a great piece of cinema, but I don't think anyone will ever out-badass Tony Montana.
What's your top five?

4. Godfather 3 (I can't help it! I like the end!)
5. Miller's Crossing
Great idea for a blog!!
1. Godfather I (classic - good music)
2. Godfather II (ditto)
3. Departed (so unpredictable!)
4. West Side Story (does this count?)
5. Corky Romano ("I've got a present for you!)
1. Pulp Fiction (perhaps the best movie of all time...)
2. The Godfather (of course)
3. Shaft -- speaking of great music and ultimate G-swagger...
4. Good Fellas
5. Get Shorty -- because even gangsters can be funny.
I could go on and on but you'd delete me. I *LOVE* all things Gangster...
In no particular order:
1. The Departed
2. The Untouchables
3. Casino
4. Kung Foo Hustle
5. Goodfellas

Don't beat me, but I have a hard time with the gangster movie genre. I like them, but don't love them. In fact, I have never seen the Godfather movies all the way through (despite them being in our house). So I cheated and found a list of gangster movies on Wikipedia for help on suggestions.
In alphabetical order:
1. Layer Cake
2. Leon: The Professional
3. Payback
4. Pulp Fiction
5. Reservoir Dogs
I've never thought of Pulp Fiction as a gangster move, but R Dogs certainly is. Can't believe I missed it.
Godfather 1
Get Shorty
Good Fellas
The Sting
Ocean's 11
You might not think these are gangster, but I do.
Aunt Carol
1. The Godfather 2
2. The Godfather
3. Goodfellas
4. Donnie Brasco
5. The Departed
P. Fiction is certainly a gangster movie---despite its other really compelling story arcs. Reservoir Dogs is one I want to like but it is SO tough to watch. I guess that makes it something to take note of. But its one movie I can't watch alone; freaks me out. Steve Buscemi---amazing. Great cast.
1. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (oh those Nasty Death Eaters!)
2. West Side Story (absolutely gangster... When you're a Jet...)
4. Gangs of New York (so much blood! Yuck!)
5. The Departed (little more cerebral, little less blood for Marty's movie)
I just realized I don't have a #3- Mommy distraction
1. godfather I
2. goodfellas
3. the untouchables
4. westside story
5. godfather II
definitely love this blog idea...
I. Heat - Because there's a dead man on the other end of this phone.
II. Payback - They weren't wearing their seatbelts.
III.Resevoir Dogs - Why do I have to be Mr. Pink?
IV. Tombstone - Why Johnny Ringo, we cross?
V. Casino
Damn, I forgot about Heat too ...
"9 to 5" as a gangster movie is an awesome selection! I also like Jason's "Tombstone" selection. I never thought of the ganster movie genre in such broad terms.
"I'm yo huckleberry ... "
1. Miller's Crossing
2. Goodfellas
3. The Godfather
4. Godfather II
5. The Glass Key
Top Five Idea: How about "Top Five Cheesy Soft Rock Songs from the 70's and 80's"? I saw an infomercial last night with the guys from Air Supply. It was horribly scripted but the music videos were priceless.
Late to the game, but for submission:
1. Miller's Crossing
2. Leon (the Professional)
3. Brick
4. Kung Fu Hustle
5. Tombstone
If forced to a stricter definition:
4. Godfather I
5. Resevoir Dogs
Five and five only!!!!
And welcome.
1.Revolver (EGO)
2.Scarface (Bigest gangster balls)
3.Snatch (Best gangster humor)
4.Godfather (Everyone,Backstabbers)
5.American Gangster (My Man!)
1. Godfather Trilogy (I'm gonna make him an offer he cant refuse. klassic!)
2. Mobsters (its alwayz better when its based on a true story)
3. Pain In Full (No chicken, no rice, no soy sauce, NOTHING! lol)
4. Goodfellas (Business bad? Fuck you pay me! Place got caught on fire? Fuck you, pay me! Got struck by lightening? Fuck you, pay me.
5. The Mack (You know the rules! Your bitch chose me! Now, we can handle this like we got some class, or we can get into some gangster shit...)
1.The Godfather
2.Pulp Fiction
3.Goodfellas
4.reservoir dogs
5.Casino
you cant beat this top five.
1. Miller's Crossing - Classic characters, plot, Albert Finney listening to Danny Boy
2. Godfather II - its not chic to ignore it, just ignorant
3. Untouchables - my batting average slumped after "that scene"
4. The Departed
5. Scarface

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also [url=http://twitter.com/nivqkai]Lowest Cost Viagra in USA[/url] you can find on our sites.
Generic Viagra is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
Sweet website, I hadn’t encountered this before during my queries! Carry on with the excellent job!
