Obstacle2 09/30/19 8:27:59 AM #1:	I've seen a bunch of the gangster canon (save two major exceptions) so I'm trying to figure out what else I've missed. I'm open to any and all gangster films, whether they are foreign or American, about the Mafia or the Crips, whether they're in English or not. Here's what I've seen so far: * Goodfellas * Godfather * Scarface * The Departed * Mean Streets * Donnie Brasco * Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels * Infernal Affairs * Reservoir Dogs * Casino I know Godfather 2 and Once Upon a Time in America are missing and I plan on watching those soon-ish. But what else am I missing? --- fka cmc/blaze we're half awake in a fake empire <cite>Obstacle2 posted [p:928135115] in What are t...
