It doesnt compare because the others aren't criminally overrated.

Everything about this movie is perfect which makes it much better than the others on the list. From the acting to the fantastic direction this one just stands on top for me. I still like some of the movies on the list(Goodfellas, Casion) but to me this one is far ahead of them.

I beg to differ. The Godfather flicks are some of the most overrated movies of all time!

You maybe right, but I just listed a few off the top of my head, that's why I put the other option in there, because I knew I left out to many to list. Oops, I just remembered that I didn't put a twikoff option in there either.

Goodfella's for me.

I love Once Upon a Time in America, but I wouldn't say it is as much of a Mafia flick as is Goodfella's, which to me, is the quintessential Mafia movie.

Donnie Brasco was a very close second (and was the first film that popped into my mind).

Missed this the first time around. I agree and would extend the statement to include my feelings that Once Upon a Time in America centers around the phases of a lifelong friendship more than on the Mafia.
