    Great acting, haunting soundtrack and authentic storyline of life of immigrants in the early part of the 20th century.

    James cagney is my favourite ever actor so it's no surprise i picked one of his.
    Angels with Dirty Faces and White Heat were absolute classics of the genre but Angels With Dirty Faces just edges it.
    Mainly, that's due to the end scene were we don't know if Cagney, on his way to the electric chair, starts to cry No when he had said to the young crooks who idolised him that he wouldn't.

    I also like "The General" where Brendan Gleeson plays Martin Cahill.

    Nice to see Once Upon a Time in America doing well. It doesn't get spoke of much in the greatest ever debates yet it is an absolute epic.

    Any list that has Pulp Fiction in it /thread although probably Goodfellas runs it as well.

    I still haven't seen any of the Godfather films right enough, really need to get them watched.
