5. Sorry I can't be of help... I can't even remember the title
of the eighties movie with Kathleen Turner and Angelica Houston. :shrug:

Not really a mob movie but I enjoyed Costner in his Elliot Ness and the uber violent Capone ala DiNero.

8. Prizzi's Honor
Directed by the great John Huston. With Jack Nicholson in a great darkly comic role as a dumb hit man. HIGHLY recommended.

10. Thanks John and Zomby
those are indeed the titles... my brain is tired today - just couldn't do the heavy lifting (was up at a bit after 4am to work on a grant... does that work for an excuse?)

19. Mafia: City of Lost Heaven
Edited on Fri Apr-08-05 01:54 AM by Hatalles
Okay, so it's a PC game but I couldn't help adding it to the list. I'm a stickler when it comes to story in games and "Mafia" is so amazing I can't help but recommend it to people who have hardly ever played any games.

Truly one of the best examples of how a video game can be far more fulfilling than a film.

21. "Snatch" and "Lock Stock"
not exactly "mafia," but good gangster flicks.
