You'd think with the Yakuza, there would be some equivalent of the Godfather or Goodfellas. Anything out there?

May be too violent for what you're looking for, but I suggest Ichi the Killer.

Sonatine and outrage are two great but wildly different yakuza movies from takeshi kitano.

If you like those, he's made a bunch of police/yakuza flicks. Hana Bi is another great one.

If you don't mind old, there's tokyo drifter and branded to kill.

While not Yakuza, and it's kind of a downgrade from good mob movies on our side, you can watch the anime "91 Days."

Dunno any where Yakuza is the focus point, rather than just a side.

While I'm not a fan of mob movies, I know that "Battles Without Honor and Humanity" is considered the "Godfather" of Japanese cinema. I've never actually watched it though (nor have I seen the Godfather)

Yeah I've been trying to find out what that was based on for years, but I think it's mostly just an original Tarantino scene

The issue here is mostly "good" in regards to anime selections.

You're gonna have a lot better pickings looking for, like, modern military-ish gangsters than mobsters/Yakuza, with picks like Jormungand and Black Lagoon. Yakuza in anime are usually punching bags.
