Just so i get a vote...
1.The Usual Suspects
2.The Godfather
3.The Untouchables
4.Scarface
5.Goodfellas
With a favorite mention to Resevoir Dogs... some of you may not consider it a true GANGSTER movie... but thats where i would put it.

So I'll give it love, it just doesn't make my top 5.

1. The Godfather and Pt. 2
2. Goodfellas
3. Once Upon a Time in America
4. Donnie Brasco
5. Casino
Honorable mention: Usual Suspects (not really a gangster movie), Scarface (ditto), Road to Perdition, and the vastly underrated A Bronx Tale.
Admittedly, I have not seen Miller's Crossing.
In last place: Deuces Wild.

Nothing new to add as far as listing my top ones...However would we consider putting The Sopranos in there...Although not a movie, the first 2 seasons are better than a whole lot of movies out there...

I love Bound. I think it's still the Wachowski brothers' best film (and I like both Matrixes).

I agree it was a look at Ralphie before Tony got a hold of him.

My top five:
White Heat (1949)
Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
Key Largo (1948)
Angels with Dirty Faces (1938)
The Godfather (1972)

Put this often overlooked gem in there to replace the duplicate:
Last Gangster, The (1937)
Edward G. Robinson and James Stewart together
BTW: Add
Whole Town's Talking, The (1935) onto my list too. Now that's a great film!!!!
