The Godfather, The Departed.

You do realize The Departed is just a remake of Infernal Affairs right? I hadn't watched it until last night, but Scorsese won an oscar for a remake. Damn fine one, but hey the original was such a fucking awesome movie to begin with, they knew it was a winner from the start.

Yes, I do realize that. I have not seen Internal Affairs though. I have read that it is good. It is the first in a trilogy of films right?

It might be best if you don't. Alot of scenes are very similar. It was kind of disappointing, really to know how much of it made it into the remake virtually unchanged. Just watch Full Time Killer instead. I think your time will be better spent watching that.

Its sad that it took almost an entire page for the obvious answer to this to be posted. Godfather 2 is head and shoulders above anything else.
How about "My Blue Heaven"

i hate mob movies. they're always like 4 hour long and boring as shit. just because there is opera music playing and slo-mo doesn't make a scene with a bunch of dumb guidos shooting each any deeper. maybe it's because i grew up around these douches.

my vote goes to johnny dangerously.

Dog Paddle · « **Reply #25 on:** March 05, 2007, 09:07:13 PM »

Donnie Brasco is such a good movie. So is Casino. Who doesn't love a bunch of tough talking greaseballs just beating the shit out of people and shit?

Edit: I wrote this before reading CUDDLEMONSTERS post, so I guess he doesn't love it.

I never took mob movies as being particularly "deep." I just like seeing greedy psychopaths kill eachother over pointless shit, and to pretty much get away with it until they get whacked. LIke goodfellas, that shit is a true story. They paint the main character to be some great guy, but you know he's a scumbag, but he's an interesting scumbag.
I group up around some guys like that too, and they definitely make you think twice about the characters in these movies, but I don't know, I guess it is what it is. I can see why you don't like it, but maybe you cvan see why I do?

oh for sure, it's just annoying when you see murals of tony montana at a table with don corleone or something. the godfather is actually based on my great uncle carlo gambino (i think.) so there was always sketchy shit go on around my grandparents house when my mom was growing up. just hearing her stories kind of takes the fun and escapism out of it.
