Favorite Gangster?

[KiLLbuRsT]

This doesn't really have anything to do with M2,but my question stands.Who's your favorite gangster from any film or Game?


Mine hands down would be: Robert DeNiro!
Guys a beast actor,love all his films.he's badass in all those mob movies!

[KiLLbuRsT]

Guess no one has a favorite gangster lol.

Keep er'coming people :o

[LittleItaly]

From a film or game it's easily pacino, deniro or pesci. But I have to take my hat off to chazz palminteri, he did a brilliant job with A Bronx Tale. One of my favourite movies of all time.


I know you didn't ask for real life gangsters but I have nothing but respect for Jackie the Nose (John D'Amico), Louis Ricco, Lucky Luciano and a few others.

What Michael Corleone did in the end of Godfather 1 was probably one of the most badass things I've seen in a Mafia movie, so he's my favourite so far :D

[Athasus]

Yeah,I'd say Robert DeNiro! He is awesome:D

[Genovese1311]

Yeah, my favourite actor is Robert De Niro... But my favourite real life gangster is Lucky Luciano...

[chalkman]

Is it favorite Mafia actor or Mafia character?

My favorite Mafia actor, hmm tough one i'd say it is a tie between Gandofini, Liotta and Imperioli.

Favorite Mafia Character would be probably Tony S.

My least favorite (just for fun) would be Phil Leotardo... and Billy Bats. Both portrayed by the awesome Frank Vincent.

Robert Denrio , Al pacino , joe peci ray lotta on my list such great actors specialy to denro and pacino the way denrio played vito in The godfather 2 was ace the way he plays in all his mob movies is just breathtakeing. + Al pacino what a guy dont matter what movie he is in he makes it a best one by farr.

i would have to say my fav gangstar in the La Cosa Nostra would have to be lucky luciano, Frank costello ,

Tony Soprano

[ClashNL]

as an actor, i love paulie Gualtieri from the sopranos, aka Tony Sirico, as in real life...i don't have any, think they are mindless people :rolleyes: i love the mafia movies, and games etc. but i dislike these people in real life :rolleyes:

[damtalldylan]

Whity Bulger- He still hasn't been caught!

I hate Henry Hill (Goodfellas) because hes a no good dirty rat.

Favourite character:

(you'll probably think I'm joking but) Fat Tony from the Simpsons

or maybe Tony Montana or (and again you'll probably think I'm joking) Michael Corleone as dipicted in Godfather 3

(As a rule I don't watch Gangster Films, I'm more into love stories as long as they're not overtly chick-flick)

Favourite actual, real gangster...

Pablo Escobar, because when the government got too close to his operations he hired a private army and tried to bulldoze the government buildings. That basically just appeals to my sense of humour :D

;)

[JXhitman23]

Hands down Al pacino :)

[Mafiashock]

Tony Soprano

[Caporegime]

Well, since so many others are going with Pacino as Michael Corleone, I'll dare to be different & take a more a classical approach. :)

James Cagney. He was the guy that real life gangsters used to try & imitate back in the day. Cagney was only about 5'6", but he carried himself on screen like a giant.

A few of Cagney's best:

The Public Enemy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022286/)
Angels With Dirty Faces (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0029870/)
White Heat (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042041/)

[RagingBull]

1.Al pacino
2.Robert de nero
3.Joe pesci
Depends on what film though because joe pesci is amazing in goodfellas bad ass and hillarious!!:D

[Genovese1311]

Whity Bulger- He still hasn't been caught!

I hate Henry Hill (Goodfellas) because hes a no good dirty rat.

Bulger was a rat too you know...

[JoePesci911]

Joe Pesci :)

[JJjoinut99]

My favourite film gangster of all time is Lenny (Jack Black) from Shark Tale.

[KiLLbuRsT]

TS is one of my fav too,but Deniro tops my list!

[ItsOnlyBusiness]

Mine is either Al Pacino



OR a REAL Gangster like Al Capone.

[xCrAzYbOy]

Gangster Actors

Al Pacino
Robert De Nero
Joe Pesci

Real Life

Al Capone
John Dillinger

[Madelle]

Real Life:
Dutch Schultz. Likely the most violent of his contemporaries. He had a notorious temper and was not afraid to get his hands dirty himself, as exemplified in his friend's Dixie Davis' account of his execution of Julie Martin. I've read accounts that he alledgedly had more than 100 people whacked over a 5 year period. Really, everything about Schultz justs screams toughness and machismo (except possibly his real name) to a level most other gangsters can only dream of. Furthermore, there is still the legend of his buried treasure.

Film:
Tom Reagan. Undoubtedly the smartest gangster ever put to film, Reagan is constantly two steps ahead of everyone else. That is, until the Dane takes issue with his story and drags him out for a walk in the woods to make sure he really did kill Bernie, which to my mind is the greatest scene in "Miller's Crossing". Outside of that scene, Reagan is always in control and the puppetmaster who skillfully manipulates events in favour of his boss.

[MafiaFan01]

Real Life:Frank Lucas Well Because he was one bad *** Dude i mean he was untouched and ran drugs like it was nothing through the early 60's and late 1970's He Also had one of the strongest black Mafia's other then when Bumpy Johnson took over a black mafia



Film: Also Frank Lucas cause i love how they portrayed him in the movie American Gangster

[Mintz95]

Frank Nitti. He was a smart guy

[Grathius22]

Don Corleone.

Make him an offer he can't refuse.

Real life would be Al Capone...
