What Is The Best Mafia Movie?

[Dino Velvet]

"rise of a foot soldier" leaves you numb with the violence and it reminds me of my youth

Rise was way more manic and violent.

[Prospero]

Gangster or mafia. If its the Mafia - then its still got to be the first two Godfather movies. if its gangs and gangsters then the net is far wider.

Tropa de Elite 1 & 2

Honorable mention: Goodfellas

[Yvonne183]

Goodfellas by far. When my dad worked in construction he talked about these guys, mainly the Luchese family. They acted just like in the film.

The Seven Ups was good cause it was filmed in places of The Bronx I know.

[Jericho]

The Untouchables

I want you to get this fuck where he breathes! I want you to find this nancy-boy Eliot Ness, I want him DEAD! I want his family DEAD! I want his house burned to the GROUND! I wanna go there in the middle of the night and I wanna PISS ON HIS ASHES! :: Capone

I think Goodfellas is probably best overall, could Pulp Fiction be included in this list of best of the best?

The Robert De niro character was a real gangster named Jimmy Burke who made a nice living hijacking airport cargo outta JFK. He'd apologize to the truck drivers for robbing them and tying them up. He never failed to leave them with $100 to compensate them for the ordeal.
but you wouldn't want to get on his bad side.
