Mafia movie

So I have seen all the Godfathers, Good Fellas and Bugsy. Are there any other mafia movies that any one might be able to suggest? I love watching movies about the mob.

Casino, Sopranos, Once Upon a Time in America, and Miller's Crossing. I highly recommend all of them.

Men Of Respect is coming out soon. It is Macbeth set in a mafia background.

Confessions of a Police Captain.

A very little known 1971 film starring Martin Balsam & Franco Nero. It might be more of a police drama, but certainly has mafia elements.

A Bronx Tale, although its more coming-of-age then straight mafia

Dunno bout the other but I think Hoodlum is pretty decent. And don't forget The Untouchables.

Not a movie, but you can't talk about the Mafia without mentioning The Sopranos.

The only other one I can think of is Prizzi's Honor which is a very funny mafia comedy. So is Married to the Mob, which has its moments but is not nearly as good.

re: Prizzi's Honor ... what really really put me off this movie was Jack Nicholson's affectation in how he speaks in the movie, with cotton balls in his cheeks. It just sounded and looked too silly.

ooh nice thanks for all the suggestions. amazing. I have alot to catch up on apparently. Some of these I have seen. Donnie Brasco was amazing. Mobsters! great flick! I thought I was the only one in the world who had ever seen it. But nobody mentioned Friends and Family. Its a comedy about this gay couple whom for the longest time have told their parents that they are in the catering business when in reality they are in the mob. I mean, its completely different from the movies mentioned above, but still worth watching!
