| | That is what makes this book a must for film-buffs and not merely an nth padded list of gangster films. | | | Indeed gangster films have frequently been classified in a rather simplistic and artificial manner. | | | Then he examines the degree to which gangster films, as "sites of opposing ideologies," reflect or promote modernity (5). |

| | Jacob Steinbrook's Top Movies List |
| | I must admit that I'm not a fan of many of the films here - I seem immune to the appeal of all the highly-regarded gangster movies, and they seem to comprise half of your list. | | | Of the remaining films I was particularly underwhelmed by Last Tango, and Brazil anaethatised me. Still, I do love 3 films here - Magnolia, Casablanca and Apocalypse Now, two of which make my list. | | | This is a great list, I still haven't seen Las Tango in Paris though, I really should. |

| | Thriller and Suspense Films |
| | No list of suspense or thriller films can be complete without mention of English film-maker/director Alfred Hitchcock. | | | AFI's list of the 100 Most Thrilling Films are presented by this site. | | | Thrillers keep the emphasis away from the gangster, crime, or the detective in the crime-related plot, focusing more on the suspense and danger that is generated. |

| | Thriller.html |
| | AFI's list of the 100 Most Thrilling Films are presented by this site. | | | In Hitchcock's films, the main character(s) usually committed a crime or was caught as a victim of circumstance, from which there was the inevitable life and death chase concluding with a showdown at a familiar landmark (for example, London's Albert Hall, the Statue of Liberty, or Mount Rushmore). | | | After Hitchcock's classic films of the 1950s, his films were wildly uneven, although he produced the shocking and engrossing thriller Psycho (1960) with the classic set piece (the 'shower scene') and the suspenseful and strangely terrifying The Birds (1963) about a invasion of birds in a N. California coastal town. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Film Features 40 best directors |
| | Her films get bolder and more confrontational every time - Blackboards took her into the Kurdish lands on the Iranian border; her latest, At Five in the Afternoon, was shot in the chaos of post-Taliban Afghanistan - but for all their political currency, there's still evidence of an artistic sensibility. | | | His early films were gaudy, bawdy and loud; drunken celebrations of the country's new-found social and sexual freedoms. | | | His shark-eyed gangster persona became a fixture of Japanese action thrillers in the 1990s, but behind the camera his controlled blend of visual slapstick and sudden violence has become a distinctive style. |

| | OBrien and Cagney have great chemistry, and Angels With Dirty Faces is an archetype of 1930s and 40s gangster films. | | | At a list price of $68.92 and an actual sales price thats considerably lower, the set seems a must for gangster film devotees. | | | Angels was released alongside five other Warner gangster pictures: White Heat, The Public Enemy, The Petrified Forest, The Roaring Twenties and Little Caesar. Each is considered a classic of its era and comes packed with extras similar to those on Angels. You can buy them individually or spring for the boxed set. |

| | Gangs of New York -- Fidelio Film |
| | His opus to New York City, Gangs of New York, can be added on the list of the most disappointing films of not only this year, but of a career of a master filmmaker. | | | Gangs of New York is more of a western, ironically set in the east, than a gangster flick. | | | He was encapsulated with the milieu of old New York, the 1840s to 1860s New York, the gangs that filled the streets, the immigrants that continuously came off the boats, and the corruption that ensued. |
