"Carlitos way or Casino

Casino; a great contender.
'In Vegas, everybody's gotta watch everybody else. Since the players are looking to beat the casino, the dealers are watching the players. The box men are watching the dealers. The floor men are watching the box men. The pit bosses are watching the floor men. The shift bosses are watching the pit bosses. The casino manager is watching the shift bosses. I'm watching the casino manager. And the eye-in-the-sky is watching us all.'

Huge fan of most of the above movies.but the best gangster of them all has to be Jimmy Cagney
Angels with dirty faces
White heat
Public enemy
The roaring twenties.
He just epitomised bad ass,in a cinema era that was very much censored compared to today's. |

Any scorsese film really. Fling in the departed and gangs of new York.
But there's some fantastic brit flicks. The business and Essex boys are good shouts. But it has to be layer cake. |

That's the best part of the movie, you just don't know if it's for the kids as the priest asked or in the end he was a coward. I like to think it was for the kids so he could make the priest proud.
White heat was on this afternoon |

"Wow thats a question im hearing ya on good fellas . But the godfather has to be in there with scarface ? "
Yes both godfather 1 & 2 are fantastic. Scarface is great but just so over the top at the end for me. Looks like I need to watch Business and the Essex Boys next. |
