    1. The Usual Suspects: Such an intricately woven story that leaves you stunned at the end. If you dont like this movie then F*** You!! lol

    2.Heat: Pacino and De Niro at the diner is classic stuff

    3.Pulp Fiction: Possibly Tarentino's Masterpiece. Film at its finest

    4. City of God: If you havent seen it....see it....now.

    5.LA Confidential: Best noir film ever made

    6.Dirty Harry: He only shot 5

    7.Training Day: Maybe the best corrupt cop in film history

    8.Reservoir Dogs: Oldies and Torture....who knew?

    9.The French Connection: Gene Hackman in his Prime.

    10. Lethal Weapon: Im getting too old for this sh**.

    Just missed: Infernal Affairs, Copland, End of watch.

    NOTE!!! Does not include mafia movies, movies that youve listed on the previous list, or cop comedies (i.e. Beverly Hills Cop, Police Academy etc.)

    Have fun :)

    Oops! Sorry, didn't see that. Revised list above.

    Then again, how can you differ mafia movies from gangster movies like Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs? If you eliminate mafia movies from the equation, then you'd basically have to take out gangster movies as well.

    1) Anything Michael Mann
    2) Anything Jean-Pierre Melville
    3) 90s Quentin Tarantino
    4) All Coen Brothers crime endeavours
    5) Anything Johnnie To
    6) The Killing
    7) Asphalt Jungle
    8) Elite Squad: The Enemy Within
    9) Wong Kar-wai's Fallen Angels/Chunking Express
    10) Touch of Evil

    I consider Goodfellas, Godfather, Scarface belonging in the gangster genre. So I won include them.

    4a) Miller's Crossing
    4b) Fargo
    4c) Blood Simple

    IMO.

    EDIT: well... no, Miller's Crossing is definitely a gangster film, but it's my favorite Coen Brothers film, so I just like typing it I guess.
