Goodfellas- "As far back as i can remember i always wanted to be a gangster"

Godfather trilogy- although 3 was a little disapponting compared to the other two because ford Coppola put in his niece Sophie Ford Coppola who couldn't act ( though shes a fine director having directed Lost i translation).

The French connection- gene Hackmen at his best.


Other notables- Scarface- haven't seen it all hence why its probably not in my top 3. And Casino very good movie. Not to mention Once upon a time in America.

Oh forgot about Donnie Brasco really good film with a pretty sad ending. Pacino good as ever in that film as was Johnny Depp.

All great choices gentlemen, but all very obvious selections, I'll throw out some that fell thru the cracks -

Carlito's Way (Pacino's 2nd greatest performance behind Scarface)

Boondock Saints (great Irish vigilante flick)

Things to do in Denver when you're Dead (border-line gangster flick, but great performances from Chris Walken, Chris Lloyd, & Andy Garcia)

King of New York (Chris Walken's greatest performance, also great small roles for "Larry" Fishburne, Wesley Snipes, and David Caruso)

and of course the obvious selections of Scarface, the 3 Godfather's, Casino, and my all-time favorite Goodfellas
