Of those, I’ve seen numbers 1, 2, 4, 8, 9 and 10.

Gangs of New York, Departed (the best film I’ve seen in the past 2 decades), Road to Perdition were all great movies.

State of Grace was definitely worth the watch.

Miller’s Crossing was booooring.

Goodfellas doesn’t count because it’s too much of a stretch to consider it an Irish movie. If you did, you would then have to consider Godfathers 1 and 2, because Tom Hagen was part Irish.

Tom Hagen was part Irish, but he was a lawyer and not a wise guy like Henry Hill (as well as I remember). Tom wasn’t an actual mobster.

Another quasi-Irish mob movie was “Absence of Malice” in which Paul Newman played Frank Gallagher, who was thought by the FBI to be involved in mob activities.
