Best Gangster Role

[Ace]

Michael Caine as Carter

[The Last Word]

James Woods - Once Upon A Time In America.

This may also be the best gangster film, btw.

Tony 'fucking' Montana!

[Lizard]

Couldn't agree more, fantastic film, Woods is great in it.

Richard Burton in 'Villain'

cracking old skool british gangster flick. picked it up in Camden recently, what a film.

[Jonone]

Richard Attenbrough in 'Brighton Rock' .. okay, he was going for something Joe Pesci nailed down much more successfully many years later but it's not without its charm.

A film I saw last year which has a mob sub plot is John Cassavetes' 'The Killing Of A Chinese Bookie'. Ben Gazzara plays the lead and he's not a gangster but it's in that ballpark. If you get the chance to see it do because it's pretty astonishing stuff. American independent cinema at its best years before it was re-branded by Sundance.

Del Boy and Rodney they ruled Peckham especialally Nelson Mandanal Towers !thumbsup!

[mike johnson]

Pesci was genuinely frightening.

[Cactus Jack]

Eric Bana in "Chopper". So good even the Hulk didn't ruin the reputation he'd built from that film.

Woods is always good in films what was that film where him and sean penn played irish american gangsters.
