    Wasn't easy leaving that or Scarface out. Pulp Fiction as well.

    I'm not a huge fan of that genre though on the whole.

    I think I saw it years ago but the only scene I kind of remember is the restaurant scene with Liotta pishing himself laughing. Need to watch it again.

    Pulp Fiction would be in there as well but I wasn't counting that because it's a bit black comedy.

    Goodfellas is an absolute classic, I love the fact that most of it actually happened, or at least it's reasonably close to what happened. It's some story.

    That's why I left Pulp Fiction out, it's not really your typical, serious crime film.

    Good list mate, I'd go for that with Casino maybe swapped with Reservoir Dogs.

    One gangster film that alot of people talk about as the best is Millers Crossing. I thought it was *.

    Wow this is difficult, love the crime genre some great films, most with Di Niro in them!

    1. Once upon a time in America
    2. Godfather
    3. Godfather 2
    4. Goodfellas
    5. Untouchables
    6. Pulp Fiction
    7. Scarface
    8. Casino
    9. The Departed
    10. Resivoir Dogs

    So hard to choose, films like Mean Street, Gangs of new York the warriors ect are class, Pulp fiction is arguably my fav film but in terms of crime films I think Once upon a time is different gravy, 4 hours of pure class
