10.) Bronx Tale
9.) Calito's Way
8.) American Me
7.) Scarface
6.) New World
5.) Triad Elections
4.) Heat
3.) Infernal Affairs
2.) The Usual Suspects
1.) Godfather


Honorable Mentions: Casino, Good Fellas, Kings of New York. Was really torn between Goodfellas, Casino, and Bronx Tale but I settled with Bronx Tales.

Infernal Affairs and The Usual Suspects ranked really high for me because the ending was just so shocking. Never saw it coming. The Godfather Trilogy, say no more. I know a lot of people hated Godfather III but I like it. I know, I'm one of the few fans that actually likes it.

What's your top 10?

I thought Internal affairs was quite stupid

No chase scenes,no good music,etc.............


I can only think of 1 movie I like that fits your thread and that is

Enemy Territory - 1987

I have never seen InTernal Affairs so I wouldn't know what you are talking about. And it's NOT on my list. I'm Talking about InFernal Affairs with a F staring Andy Lau, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, etc. That movie was good that Hollywood even did a remake, known as The Departed.

Then you leave Untouchables off your list and make Goodfellas and Casino honorable mentions?? You really shouldnt be starting this sort of thread because it seems you dont know much about what a GANGSTA movie actually is man....your list is flawed. I hate your list.

Going off the typical beaten path.

Key Largo, Maltese Falcon
Anything with Jimmy Cagney.

The Italian Job
All Jason Strathmore org crime ones, esp Revolver

I saw New Jack City but I don't remember much about that movie. It didn't stick in my memory and there must be a reason for it. Boyz in the Hood was good, little overrated but good movie. Menace to Society was the best out of these three for me. Reason they aren't on my top 10 list is because these three movies aren't movies that I would enjoy watching over and over again. May be it's too depressing, may be it hits home a little too much, especially Menace and Boyz.

As far as Untouchable...I tried to watch that movie three times...turned it off everytime after 20-30 mins. Just not a movie for me. LOL. Don't know why you are getting soo butt hurt about my list. LMFAO. It's just what I LIKE...I didn't do the list what BlackPeach's top 10 gangster/Og. Crime movie. LMFAO. Make YOUR own list and when I have time, I will check out those movies on YOUR list or at the very least, I'll go back and rewatch it.
