In honor of the movie I think was the best this year- a mob movie- not in particular order except at the top.

10. Cotton Club- little known early Richard Gere movie about the famous club and the mob stuff that happened there.

9. Godfather pt.3- sorry, I just didnt like the first two.

8. On the Waterfront- Marlon Brando's best film by far. It coulda been a contender.

7. Scarface- not purely a mob film, but one of my favorite Pacino movies.

6. Gangs of New York- yes, it was extremely graphic and violent, but a great film nonetheless.

5. Payback- more of a crime noir film, but so good I had to put it somewhere- one of my favorites with Mel Gibson.

4. The Untouchables- pretty awful for historical accuracy, but a great movie anyway- Sean Connery deserved the best- supporting oscar he got for it.

3. White Heat- James Cagney's best movie- definite Mother issues here.

2. The Departed- it may surpass my current #1 after a few more viewings, but definitely the best movie of last year. Scorsese deserves his long overdue first best-director oscar for this one.

1. Goodfellas- I know a lot of people who think this, not The Godfather, was the best mob movie ever- I agree.
