I'm still working on my 'Love Story' top 10 – it's five times too big at the moment. In the meantime, these are the films which come to mind when I think of my favourite gangster movies:

• The Godfather
• The Godfather Part II
• Goodfellas
• Donnie Brasco
• Once Upon a Time in America
• Road to Perdition
• Casino
• Infernal Affairs trilogy (cheating, I know)
• Gomorrah
• Angels with Dirty faces

Is that a gangster film? I've never considered to be one.

Nice to see some Seijun Suzuki appearing with titles like youth of the beast and tokyo drifter. I always saw these as more 'lone wolf' crime stories than gang pictures but after hearing of his passing realised I'd liked to have included at least one.
