Carlito’s Way (1993)
Carlito has just gotten out of prison due to technicalities with the help of his sleazy lawyer. After a life spent trafficking heroin he decides not to pursue the life of the streets. He buys into a night club and begins saving money to move to the Bahamas, but his presence as a known player makes it inevitable that he get sucked back into his violent former life.
9th Place
Donnie Brasco (1997)
Johnny Depp and Al Pacino turn in great performances in this 1997 crime drama as undercover FBI agent Joe Pistone (a.k.a. Donnie Brasco) and frumpy mafia member Lefty Ruggiero. With incredibly well developed characters and great dialogue (“Forgetaboutit!”), Donnie Brasco ranks as one of the best modern gangster movies as well as one of the best undercover cop movies ever made.
8th Place
The Untouchables (1987)
1987′s The Untouchables was Brian De Palma’s riff on the novel of the same name by Eliot Ness and Oscar Fraley, first published in 1947; as well as the late ’50s/early ’60s TV series starring Robert Stack and Neville Brand. The movie starred Kevin Costner as Eliot Ness, Sean Connery as Irish beat cop Jim Malone, and Robert de Niro as Al Capone. The story follows U.S. Treasury agent Eliot Ness as he fights crime, typified in notorious mob boss Al Capone, in 1930s Chicago with his special, handpicked team of agents… the Untouchables. Sean Connery won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
7th Place
Leon (The Professional) (1994)
Mathilda, a twelve-year old New York girl, is living an undesirable life among her half-family. Her father stores drugs for two-faced cop Norman Stansfield. Only her little brother keeps Mathilda from breaking apart. One day, Stansfield and his team take cruel revenge on her father for stretching the drugs a little, thus killing the whole family. Only Mathilda, who was out shopping, survives by finding shelter in Léon’s apartment in the moment of highest need. Soon, she finds out about the strange neighbour’s unusual profession – killing – and desperately seeks his help in taking revenge for her little brother. Léon, who is completely unexperienced in fatherly tasks, and in friendships, does his best to keep Mathilda out of trouble – unsuccessfully. Now, the conflict between a killer, who slowly discovers his abilities to live, to feel, to love and a corrupt police officer, who does anything in his might to get rid of an eye witness, arises to unmeasurable proportions – all for the sake of a little twelve-year old girl, who has nearly nothing to lose.
6th Place
Heat (1995)
Hunters and their prey–Neil and his professional criminal crew hunt to score big money targets (banks, vaults, armored cars) and are, in turn, hunted by Lt. Vincent Hanna and his team of cops in the Robbery/Homicide police division. A botched job puts Hanna onto their trail while they regroup and try to put together one last big ‘retirement’ score. Neil and Vincent are similar in many ways, including their troubled personal lives. At a crucial moment in his life, Neil disobeys the dictum taught to him long ago by his criminal mentor–’Never have anything in your life that you can’t walk out on in thirty seconds flat, if you spot the heat coming around the corner’–as he falls in love. Thus the stage is set for the suspenseful ending….
5th Place
Scarface (1983)
“Say hello to my lil’ friend” is one of the great quotes in cinema history, from one of the most copied gangster films of all-time: Brian De Palma’s Scarface. Written by Oliver Stone and starring Al Pacino as Miami crime lord Tony Montana, the film chronicles his rise to power amid the cocaine-obsessed Eighties. The film also helped to launch Michelle Pfeiffer into the limelight.
Montana is perhaps the hardest man ever portrayed onscreen, and his persona has led to frequent references in rap music. Breeding toys, clothing and more twenty years after its release, Scarface continues to inform popular culture.
4th Place
City of God (2002)
Cidade de Deus (City of God) is a housing project built in the 1960′s that–in the early 80′s–became one of the most dangerous places in Rio de Janeiro. The tale tells the stories of many characters whose lives sometimes intersect. However, all is seen through the eyes of a singular narrator: Buscapé, a poor black youth too frail and scared to become an outlaw but also too smart to be content with underpaid, menial jobs. He grows up in a very violent environment. The odds are all against him. But Buscapé soon discovers that he can see reality differently than others. His redemption is that he’s been given an artist’s point of view as a keen-eyed photographer. As Buscapé is not the real protagonist of the film–only the narrator–he is not the one who makes the decisions that will determine the sequence of events. Nevertheless, not only his life is attached to what happens in the story, but it is also through Buscapé’s perspective of life that one can understand the complicated layers and humanity of a world, apparently condemned to endless violence.
3th Place
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield are two hitmen on the hunt for a briefcase whose contents were stolen from their boss, Marsellus Wallace. They run into a few unexpected detours along the road. Marsellus is out of town, and he’s gotten Vincent to take care of his wife, Mia. That is, take her out for a night on the town. Things go smoothly until one of them makes a huge error. Butch Coolidge is a boxer who’s been approached by Marsellus and been told to throw his latest fight. When Butch ends up killing the other boxer, he must escape Marsellus. Pumpkin and Honey Bunny (not their real names) are two lovebirds/thieves who have decided to rob the restaurant they’re currently eating at. But the restaurant doesn’t turn out to be as easy as the other places they’ve robbed.
2th Place
GoodFellas (1990)
“Ever since I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a gangster.” With these words, Martin Scorsese’s GoodFellas took us on a fast-paced, alternately hilarious and horrifying ride through the rise and fall of real-life gangster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta). Featuring incredible performances from a very strong cast, innovative camerawork, and a tight script, GoodFellas showed the dichotomy of the mob just as effectively as the Godfather films without being derivative in any way.
1th Place
The Godfather (1972)
Vito Corleone is the aging don (head) of the Corleone Mafia Family. His youngest son Michael has returned from WWII just in time to see the wedding of Connie Corleone (Michael’s sister) to Carlo Rizzi. All of Michael’s family is involved with the Mafia, but Michael just wants to live a normal life. Drug dealer Virgil Sollozzo is looking for Mafia Families to offer him protection in exchange for a profit of the drug money. He approaches Don Corleone about it, but, much against the advice of the Don’s lawyer Tom Hagen, the Don is morally against the use of drugs, and turns down the offer. This does not please Sollozzo, who has the Don shot down by some of his hit men. The Don barely survives, which leads his son Michael to begin a violent mob war against Sollozzo and tears the Corleone family apart.
