Hey Ron, (or should I say MORE-RON?) I was the first one to respond to your thread - nearly 5 years ago (my how time flies) so we did talk about this movie a long time ago.  It's a great one!

1. The Godfather
2. The Godfather, Part II
3. Mean Streets
4. Goodfellas
5. Bonnie and Clyde
6. Angels with Dirty Faces
7. Casino
8. Once Upon a Time in America
9. The Friends of Eddie Coyle
10. Dillinger (Warren Oates was born to play Dillinger!)

Honorable mention: Lepke.  This is a cheesy guilty pleasure of mine.  Tony Curtis chews up the scenery with his hammy acting and the movie shows us nothing that we haven't seen before (in much better movies).  But there's something about this movie that keeps me coming back for more.  I own the DVD and I've seen this movie at least a dozen times.

Another one I enjoy is THE GRISSOM GANG.  It has some nice, oddball performances.  It's sort of like BONNIE AND CLYDE meets THE WALTONS meets THE ADDAMS FAMILY.


POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD, so watch this clip with your eyes closed . . .

I think that's a GREAT film...but think it as a Western than Gangster-but I reckon it's a matter of perspective.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
