This week is mob week on AMC.
Right now they're in the midst of showing THE GODFATHER trilogy , and earlier today they showed  BUGSY, starring Warren Beatty, and I have to say it was pretty good.

Goodfellas, King of NY and Carlito's Way are in my top 3.

I am amazed at the number of people who say they love crime/gangster movies and then never have seen any of the top 4. Those 4 movies define the gangster genre (with the Godfather of course).

Alot of good ones were already mentioned so I have to pick some not everybody knows.
For one there is Lawless. A pretty good movie made in 2012 with Tom Hardy and Shia Lebeauf.
Also in 2013 there was a really great southkorean movie called "The New World" with Choi Min-Shik (Old Boy, I saw the Devil etc.)
And if you see Gangsters as "Organized Crime" there are also alot of Yakuza-Movies to mention. I'm thinking about alot of the Takeshi Kitano-movies (Sonatine, Brothers, Outrage, Hana-Bi etc.) or the classic Yakuza Papers-series (Battles without Honor and Humanity etc.) by Kinji Fukasaku (Battle Royale).
