You can't go wrong with Mean Streets or Donnie Brasco.
Once Upon A Time In America and Miller's Crossing are also good suggestions.
Another title worth seeking out is The Long Good Friday CC, a very good British mob film from 1979 starring Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren (Look closely for a young Pierce Brosnan in a minor supporting role). You won't likely find it for rental unless you use Netflix, but it can be purchased for

In addition to the above recommendations:
Things Change with Don Ameche and Joe Montegna is a wonderful movie with connections.
Wiseguys - a cute mob comedy.
The Steelgrave and Profit arcs of the tv series Wiseguy is one of the best of tv mafia.
Just about any Cagney, Bogart, Edward G. gangster movie would be recommended as well:
White Heat
Little Caesar
Public Enemy
Little Giant
Roaring Twenties
Dead End
Brother Orchid
