The Mafia has always been one of the main themes of the films have been. Combining seemingly effortless wealth, violence and moral obligation, if the rich themes for generations of filmmakers. In this article I will discuss the ten gangster films of all time, in chronological order:
Public Enemy (1931): This film is dark, film noir tells the story of a petty criminal who is more ruthless and violent, and is ultimately destroyed. The movie before the film was released code, it is strikingly modern film.
The Big Sleep (1946): The Big Sleep is my favorite film by Humphrey Bogart, and is a tense drama set in Florida, including extortion and murder. The code of many of the film washed over explicit film to have a look at the book by Raymond Chandler. Then you see the movie and say, "Oh, that's what happened."
On the Waterfront (1954): Wait, this is not a mafia movie! He is a boxer and his relationship with a corrupt union ... Yes, it's a mafia movie, but it is a film that the other side of the life of the Mafia, not from the perspective of the gangsters, but people who have the strength to live in institutions controlled by mafia.
The Godfather (1972): The Godfather is the Mafia movie is set in a defined genre, but also change the Mafia film significantly. He created the idea of gangsters and glamorous, they were not really seen in previous films. He also taught viewers about the rules and institutions of the crowd, with an "official" part of the mafia movies future.
Mean Streets (1973): Mean Streets, the anti-Godfather. Instead of focusing on wealth and prestige of crimes of petty offenders in Little Italy. The movie has a lot of inspiration from films such as Public Enemy. Compare the approach to crime in the streets say The Godfather, Part II (set largely in the same region), and you will see a huge contrast.
The Godfather II (1974): The Godfather, Part II extends the myth of the crowd, taking viewers through the history of the development of leadership qualities of Vito Corleone in the Mafia. In fact, the amount to be back on the road. At the same time we saw the corruption of Michael Corleone, who led nearly inhuman from the end of the film.
Scarface (1983): Scarface is a great film that luxury is as much about the decade of 1980, is a crime. This is a ruthless crime boss and managed intelligent incredibly powerful, but at the expense of losing everything he loves. Finally, in a shooting that is so excessive destruction, of life, a kind of point.
Goodfellas (1990): Goodfellas is the greatest mob movie of all time (no, I said). It follows a gangster on the streets by his introduction to the mafia and the reduction of drug abuse and immorality. The most fascinating aspect of the film is how he perceives as Henry Hill contrasts what is with what is really happening is happening, that the reality of all that through cracks.
Pulp Fiction (1994): Pulp Fiction is the most influential film of Star Wars, the redistribution of what his as a "conspiracy" in a film. A series of interwoven stories that revolve around the crew of Marcellus Wallace, a man of Los Angeles crime. The film is a mixture of clever dialogue and sudden violence remains the most popular film by Quentin Tarantino.
Traffic (2000): The transport has a different take on the mafia life to the parallel stories of drug dealers and the police who try to overthrow. The film is clearly on the side of the police, but creates it without dealing with criminals because they are not human to do. It also has the advantage with some of the effects of the drug on people in countries like Mexico.
