Once upon a time in america deffo, my favourite gangster film.

Some people don't rate it but I really enjoyed The Untouchables. De Niro is great as al capone and the scene at the end with the pram going down the steps is one of my favourite movie scenes.

I watched fargo yesterday and really enjoyed that.
 
There seems to be a few non-gangster suggestions so I'll assume you're not just after that. :p

Million Dollar Baby
There Will be Blood

Two astonishingly epic movies in my eyes. Million Dollar baby for its hard hitting and touching story, epic acting from the top and There Will Be Blood for its awesome film methods and oscar winning acting.

:)
 
Once Upon A Time In America?

For simply brilliant films I'd suggest 12 Angry Men, The Shawshank Redemption, Casablanca and Dr Strangelove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb.

//edit you'd also be better off in the Music and Box Office sub-forum. :)



you know what I've been meaning to watch Dr Strangelove for ages gonna watch it now

everyones putting in good suggestions

mine is predator you must have seen it but action films don't come any better than this watch it again
