Greatest Mob oriented movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2001)

The Godfather,1972, is the movie by which other mob classics are compared to. Although not categorized as a "Mob Movie", it is what all other mob movies are compared to. the story is great, the acting unsurpassed. By the time the movie ends you are rooting for the "bad guys", the Corleone family. Other great movies such as Goodfellas, Casino, Bugsey etc. are good, fun and entertaining, these latter movies show the lower level mobster, whereas the Godfather shows what life is like if you are on the top of the syndicate ladder. Keep in mind that as great as this movie is in real life the mob's retirement plan isn't all that great!!
