18 Miller’s Crossing Coen Brothers, 1990

Miller's Crossing (1990) - Original Theatrical Trailer

A highly stylized "genre" movie that might be considered a parody of all gangster flicks. Tom Reagan is the sardonic anti-hero of this immoral story, which strangely also examines morals in the 1930s criminal underworld. The police are used as players in a battle between two rival gangs for control of the city, and the occasional raids on illegal bars serve only as a means of retaliation for one group against the other. We wonder if Tom, the Irish mob boss' right-hand man, actually has a heart while frightening violence and dark humor compete for our attention on screen.

1 Best Gangster Movie: The Godfather Francis Ford Coppola, 1972

The Godfather, which is unmatched in this genre, must be ranked as the best gangster film; this was my easiest decision (and virtually all others). The ailing don (leader) of the Corleone Mafia Family is named Vito Corleone. Michael, his youngest son, arrived home from the war in time to witness Connie Corleone's marriage to Carlo Rizzi. Connie is Michael's sister. Michael only wants to lead a normal life despite the fact that his entire family is implicated in the Mafia. Virgil Sollozzo, a drug dealer, is looking for Mafia Families to provide him with protection in exchange for a cut of the drug sales revenue. Don Corleone is approached by him about it. But the Don rejects the offer because he has a moral objection to drug use, much to the dismay of his attorney Tom Hagen. Sollozzo orders several of his hit men to shoot the Don down because this displeases him. The Corleone family is torn apart as a result of the Don narrowly making it out alive, which motivates his son Michael to start a bloody mob war against Sollozzo.

Don Corleone's quote: "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse."
