So far ive watched
Scarface - Good/brillant
Casino - Brillant!

The Untouchables - good but not my cup of tea, to many cops.
American Gangster - great
Godfather - average at best
unusual suspects - good!
Donnie Brasco - pretty good

i tried to watch Godfather once but sooooo much talking. it is really worth waiting for something to happen??

The Godfather is good, but it's too slow to be excellent.

American Gangster (not Mafia, but still a good gangster flick).

All of the movies mentioned so far are excellent. Seriously, watch them all. Oh, and The Godfather pwns.

Something a bit different, Eastern Promises.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765443/

Starring Viggo Mortensen, I enjoyed it.

Are we including general gangster movies like Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels?

True Romance

Looks like you've got a good list to watch there, its a tv show rather than a movie but The Sopranos is excellent too.

American Gangster - great film.

From your list I'd go with 'Heat', contains one of the best shootouts in film history, arguably the best. A very atmospheric and brilliantly acted movie in general, one of my all time faves! Can you tell?

night sorted then
