'Dirty Money'
'Our Godfather'
Looking to watch a movie with big crimes, lots of guns, and an unhealthy dose of profanity? Goodfellas, the series of Godfather films, and The Departed are nowhere to be found on the service. However, there are some bonafide classics available as well as a few off-the-beaten-path gems you should definitely check out. The s is generally regarded as the era where the modern gangster crimes began. One of the biggest gangsters was John Dillinger, who had a successful career robbing banks during that time period. Nearly 20 years after Goodfellas, Scorsese and De Niro teamed up again for this Netflix original movie. In the end, he became a hitman for the mob and was involved with the late head of the Teamsters Union, Jimmy Hoffa. The Irishman still works as an examination of the life of a mob hitman.

As Milton found with Paradise Lost, the devil has all the best tunes. Though it lasts three seasons, it loses its way at the end of season two once — spoiler alert! Like Narcos, only set in Mexico, this recounts the several rises and falls of drugs baron Felix Gallardo. In real life he was no doubt a complete bastard but here he comes across almost as a Robin Hood figure trying to do his best by his community, first by growing the best marijuana sinsemilla , later moving on to more lucrative and violence-attracting cocaine. With its Mexico offshoot the Narcos franchise really hit its stride: more expansive, a better curated soundtrack, more lovingly styled set-pieces. But compared with the much pacier, more edgy foreign language series above, it just feels like analogue competing with digital. It debuted in January and still sets the bar for Mafia dramas and bingeworthy boxed sets.
Most gangster films make the criminal underworld look like a hell of a good time. Run Time: min IMDb: 8. Martin Scorsese delivers another cinematic triumph, this time for Netflix and with the help of some familiar faces. Robert De Niro and Al Pacino team up again for this crime drama based on actual events.
