Listomania Sundays: Mafia and Mob Movies


After watching The Godfather for this weeks Best Picture Blog Post I decided to do the best Mafia and Mob movies.

1. The Godfather-the obvious choice. Considered one of the best pictures of all time and the blueprint for tons of mafia movies to follow.

2.  Goodfellas-In similar fashion as The Godfather about a guy who rises to power in an New York Mafia. with great performances.

3.  The Departed-Jack Nichloson is a real bad ass in this movie about Boston Irish Mob. Loosely based on the true story of Whitey Bulger who is still on the FBI most wanted list.

4.  Reservoir Dogs-Ultra violent mob pic from Quentin Tarantino is truly unique and very bloody. With some of the most interesting conversations ever discussed in any movies(ex. The meaning of Like a Virgin and how much to tip).

5.  Millers Crossing-Great movie about an Irish Mob by the Coen Brothers. As with any Coen brothers movies it has great dialogue and crazy situations.
