Kidulthood and Adulthood are two I grew up on.
Also the Godfather 1 and 2. The gentlemen. Not a huge fan of that many really. If Donnie Brasco counts I like that too. |

Goodfellas Once upon a time in America, A Bronx tale..Deniro didn't play a gangster he was a bus driver. Black Mass was very good, Millers Crossing American gangster the story of Frank Lucas. Theres some very good British movies aswell, a little british gem is The Crew based in Liverpool, Layer Cake, Sexy Beast, Love Honour and Obey slips under the radar, Gangster Number 1.
I'm a fan of the genre these are a few I'd recommend but I could easily double this list and if you're also a fan you have to watch The Sopranos series, twice at least. |

Love the Sopranos"
The ending got quite a bit of criticism from some but I thought it was perfect. The "Pine Barrens" episode was brilliant, so funny. |

I quite like Layer Cake.
The classics like God Father, Casino yeah they are all good but I like a little variety.
I quite like The Accountant, not quite gangster but love how they built highly functioning autism into this movie |

Yes
The bit I could relate to though were the sleep disturbance and then he sleeps like a log mid prison riot 
Good calls on untouchables and
The accountant - nobody else I know has even seen this it’s a fantastic film for those of us who like things kinda off kilter - Anna Kendrick always a good call for that reason I’ve seen some quite obscure films she’s in that are very good |

I don't want to get off topic, but there's no such thing as high-functioning autism. |

I'm originally from the States and the courthouse/square where My Cousin Vinny was filmed is in the town where my family live. |

"The krays. Growing up in the east end not Lola million miles from them, hearing stories from people they knew
Pair of Cranks if you read the REAL storys about them  "
People didn't respect them, they were just scared of them. Mindless thugs of the lowest order. |

They have been given a higher reputation since they died than when they were supposedly running things
Have read various books by various members of their gang and nipper read |

The reality....gangsters are not cool and edgy. They are generally maladjusted pieces of shit. |
