those are 7 entertaining “crime/mob” movies for avoiding 7 days of lousy summer primetime programming. ;)
also, Layercake is pretty good too!
My favorite mobster movie is Pusher 3: I Am The Angel of Death. The entire Pusher trilogy is amazing, but the conclusion to the trilogy really puts into perspective the way mass immigration has irreversibly transformed Europe, while at the same time being an amazing psychological drama/crime-action movie.
Miller’s Crossing was great. John Polito stole that movie.
Great character actor. He was also great in the pilot episode of Crime Story.
“Always the high hat!”
The period dialogue was priceless. I can remember my grand parents talking like that. My grandfather was a NYC cop from 1928 to 1948.
