Are you suggesting that you are a criminal ? Just kidding man .

My favorite gangster movie must be Heat, that one was really great, also liked Gangs of New York and The Goodfellas a lot.



Yep, 3:10 Yuma got better reviews at Rottentomatoes though. The western genre isn't very active so there aren't many recent movies to compare it to.
Unforgiven was pretty good too btw.

From the movies I have recently seen my favorite is Touching the Void, it's a documentary but really terrific.
Ah yes. Gangster movies. I watched alot of those. All the standard ones, and yes, Heat as well. For you gangster movie fans, here are some gangster movies that are either new or not well know:

1. Eastern Promises. New movie. About Russian gang. I liked it.
2. American Gangster. New movie. I enjoyed it. The History channel documentary on it was very good as well.
3. Cocaine Cowboys. New documentary about the gangsters of Miami. Excellen documentary. I give this one a high recommendation.
4. Blood In, Blood Out. I watched this a couple of days ago. It was on the employee recomendation rack in Blockbuster. About the Mexican gangs of East La and Prison. It had a bit of 80's corkiness to it, but I enjoyed it. Some famous modern actors in there with minor parts.
5. Amercian Me. Also about the East La ande Prison gangs. I'm still watching this one. Seems ok.

All these movies had the high ratings on them, like multiple quotes from critics on the DVD. I almost never rent a movie if it has no quotes from critics on the DVD.
