Anyone recommend any decent gangsta filmage? I've got The Godfather 1/2/3, Donnie Brascoe, Scareface, The Krays, Pulp Fiction, Casino and so that's about it.

...2 quality Brit movies.
Mona Lisa
Get Carter
King of New York
Millers Crossing
If you like classics, look out for Angels With Dirty Faces - James Cagney.
Also recommend John Woo films.
Just been reading about Gangsta number 1, sounds pretty cool. Will go pick up a copy of that. Will look up some of the others.
EDIT: Yeah I got heat just because it is quite a classic. Got Snatch as well but think it is a bit crap.
Cheers.
Menace II Society
New Jack City
Mi Vida Loca
Boyz in the Hood
not to mention
Once Upon a Time in America
Bugsy
The Sopranos is always worth a watch if you've got the time
Public Enemy
Bonnie and Clyde
Dillinger
and Woo already got a mention so I'd recommend his Bullet in the Head (out in a couple of weeks in a new DVD package) - one of the best movies for showing a totally different perspective on Vietnam (in this case small time Hong Kong crooks)
Anyway not all specifically ganster movies but in the same ballpark.
First stop though - Millers Crossing and Get Carter, pretty much the best anyone has suggested here.
Jackie brown
Snatch
lock stock and two smoking barrels
