Good Mafia films

[AndyT77]

Some of my favourites are:

Goodfellas
Donnie Brasco
The Godfather

What are your favourites, want some inspiration on what to watch this weekend?

Once Upon a Time in the West - Very long and parts are drawn out but well worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

Miller's Crossing - Well worth watching

Public Enemies - Depp plays a cool Dillinger

Bonnie & Clyde - Still good after all these years

[CzechItOut]

Seasons 1-6 of the Sopranos.

Might take you more than a weekend though.

Stick with tradition and it has to be The Godfather.

It was the genesis moment in modern cinema for the breed with fabulously rich characterisation.

Like Star Wars in 1977, its genius resides as much in its contemporary impact and subsequent resonance as any originality of content and style.

Did you possible get mixed up with "Once upon a time in America"?. One is a mafia film, the other is a western, though I suppose there were such things as cowboy Mafioso.

Casino

[vixen1700]

Gangster No.1 - Pretty uinpleasent in places but pretty good

The Bank Job - Watched this recently and found it surprisingly good

Killing Zoe - Saw it years back and really enjoyed it

Layer Cake - Very good

Get Carter - Treat yourself to the original and best with Caine at his darkest

Reservoir Dogs - Doesn't matter how many times I watch this, it's still great

Not so much mafia, more gangster.

Thanks for the replies so far. I'm really aiming for exclusively mafia based films, not just gangster based flicks.

Gomorrah is decent - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0929425/

[SamAlien]

The Untouchables is pretty good.

[P-Jay]

The Departed is still my favorite, granted Irish mob rather than a mafia flick, but there are mafia elements to it.

Otherwise Goodfellas, Casino is good, but over long.

This. Possibly the finest piece of television ever made, though Band of Brothers and parts of The West Wing might have something to say about that.
