Default gangster movies

apart from the likes of the godfather trilogy, goodfella's, scarface, once upon a time in america, casino, the departed, untouchables, etc, are there any other "must see" gangster flicks in the same sort of style?

getting a bit bored with buying dvd's to add to the nearly 11 metres of dvd shelving i've filled

mixed reviews, want to make sure it's good before spending time watching it and then finding out it's not as good as it shoud have been (revolver) or a missed out gem (smokin' aces)

Thought Donnie Brasco was a stunning film. Must admit I agree it did take a little to get into it though.

Gangster no.1 is superb too, and Rise of the Footsoilder is a great great film.

Just borrowed rollin' with the nines which is supposed to be quite good.

just don't watch it with the folks, it's quite "upsetting" in places

starts off good, then gets a bit so-so, they gets a bit bonkers, fairly gritty and, to be honest, scarily realstic of what can happen without the glorified oundertones of the mafiosa style american flicks

eastern promises is something i'm waiting for on sky, as vigo is supposed to be some sort of rock hard nutter russian physco

enjoyable, if a little less convoluted than lock stock, which made it just as enjoyable, but far less taxing on the old noggin

keep 'em coming lads, and yes, i do "buy" dvd's, much cheaper at a pound a pop at the market stall if i know what i'm looking for rather than buying stuff and then thinking "what is this shit?!?!?!?"

Dojj, get yourself "Mafia". Brillant computer game. Already a bit older, so will also run on weaker systems.

It's one of the games that really tell you a story, almost like a film.
