Any others that are good like that? The Godfather maybe? That's a popular one.

The Godfather is excellent, but it is very different than Goodfellas.

Honestly Sopranos overall is the best mob series.

Godfather II is great though. Thats a must watch. Godfather I is also great, in different ways.

Yea watch Godfather and the sequel.

Then check out The Irishman.

Not quite the same feel as Goodfellas like someone pointed out, but all good.

Scarface and The Departed are other good crime/mob movies to check out if you liked Goodfellas.

Had an argument with an idiot I worked with once. He was arguing that Bon Jovi was more influential than Aretha Franklin.

I swear my mind went to that scene in Goodfellas where De Niro's character was deciding whether or not to whack the hairpiece guy

If you're looking for something different but still a mob movie, the japanese movie OUTRAGE is fantastic, it's a yakuza movie but has the same exact vibe as american mob movies, with a different twist

Also, Beat Takeshi did a reworking of the popular character Zatoichi fighting the yakuza in Edo period Japan. The movie is called Zatoichi (Tarantino stole a lot of shit from it in Kill Bill).

He also did a movie called Brother (with Omar Epps) about a yakuza who comes to L.A.

He's kind of like the Jordan Peele of Japan. Or vice versa. He made his name as a comedian, but Beat Takeshi makes dark, hardcore yakuza flicks.

After that give Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels a try.

Snatch is another mobster type, Lock Stock is more about different groups of thieves and how they interact with each other. Some good cinema right there.

Hill explains how he told De Niro how to hold smokes like the way Burke did.

Goodfellas is amazing and legit also one of the funniest movies ever.

Casino is close to it in spirit. Godfather 1 and 2 are great but they portray the mob a bit more classy.

I legit thought, "The world is not big enough for the two of us". I didn't whack him.

I love mob movies so much, I'm among the 30 people on the planet who think Godfather 3 was good.

I watch the trilogy once a year. Directors cut.

If you're really into The Godfather, read the book. The movie follows the book closely, but the book gives you the backstory on Luca Brasi and Al Neri. I kind of wish the movie played that up more.
