Can we do mob movies from other countries? For starters, for English mob movies I would add:

The Long Good Friday
The Krays

'Sexy Beast' and 'Croupier' should feature in that list as well along with numerous Japanese gangster flicks. - Tony D. 10:35:04 09/15/10 (3)

  I like both, but I particularly like "Sexy Beast" for Ben Kingsley's over-the-top performance.
  
  For Brazilian films, I like the gangster-in-the-making film "Pixote," about juvenile criminals, with "City of God" a distant second.
  
  I am not up on Yakuza films, if you have some recommendations, I would love to hear them.
  - Yakuza? Any of the Beat Takeshi films. Also, Miike's films are justly revered in Japan. nt - tinear 20:40:35 09/15/10 (0)

- I forgot about the Guy Richie films. . . - Larry I 10:19:56 09/15/10 (4)
  I guess "Snatch" is also a gangster film, though I did not consider comedies. In US films, I guess "Get Shorty" could be on the list too.
  - Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was his best. * - mr grits 14:00:40 09/15/10 (3)

        The one good collaboration they did was an extended advertisement for BMW (part of the BMW film series) which Guy Richie directed. Madonna plays an uber bitch diva who gets taken for the ride of her life by Cive Owen, the chauffeur, she abuses verbally.
