- DirectorMike HodgesStarsMichael CaineIan HendryBritt EklandWhen his brother dies under mysterious circumstances in a car accident, London gangster Jack Carter travels to Newcastle to investigate.A pure British classic. One of the first and definitely a unique gangster film ever made.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsHarvey KeitelTim RothMichael MadsenWhen a simple jewelry heist goes horribly wrong, the surviving criminals begin to suspect that one of them is a police informant.What is there left to add except that Tarantino made a movie evolution with this one. A move made with one of the lowest budgets ever.

Eddy loses, after which Harry gives him a week to pay back 500,000 pounds.Brilliant British gangster film. It contains typical British humor, wits, a lots of intertwined situations, intelligent plot etc.
- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsAl PacinoDiane KeatonAndy GarciaFollows Michael Corleone, now in his 60s, as he seeks to free his family from crime and find a suitable successor to his empire.Maybe the most underestimated movie of all time.

- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsAl PacinoMichelle PfeifferSteven BauerIn 1980 Miami, a determined Cuban immigrant takes over a drug cartel and succumbs to greed.Absolute masterpiece!
- DirectorGuy RitchieStarsJason StathamBrad PittStephen GrahamUnscrupulous boxing promoters, violent bookmakers, a Russian gangster, incompetent amateur robbers and supposedly Jewish jewelers fight to track down a priceless stolen diamond.Yet another Guy Ritchie gangster flick. Most of the people hate it due to the Lock, stock... similarity, but I find it great anyway. Soundtrack is absolutely fantastic in this one.

Flegenheimer changes his name to Dutch Schultz and, thanks to his brutal and unscrupulous ways, rises to become Diamond's right-hand man during the bleak days of Prohibition.One of the best gangster films ever. Underrated though.
