Gangster movie recommendation
Being interested in the Great Depression period and gangster, I want some gangster movie recommendation. I enjoyed The Godfather, The Untouchables, Bonnie and Clyde, and soon I'll be watching Hoodlum. Any other movie of the type worth watching? Thanks in advance.

If you get TCM, check out Little Caesar (1930) starring Edward G. Robinson (12:30 AM EST 4/17/03) and High Sierra (1941) starring Humphrey Bogart (1:30 PM EST 4/19/03).

Has it been released on R2/R4 DVD?

A Bronx Tale is a little about "old school" gangster's. not the great depression era, but still a great movie directed by Robert DeNiro. Plus, it can be found for around $10.

I second the original Scarface (1932) and Little Caesar (1931) .
You might also want to check out these two James Cagney movies - The Public Enemy (1931) & Angels With Dirty Faces (1938) .
Just for laughs, you can watch Bugsy Malone (1976) staring Scott Baio and Jodie Foster. It's a cute little movie where the entire cast is played by kids. Their guns shoot out cream instead of bullets.
