Posted 9 months ago What is it about mafia based and gang based movies that are so interesting and entertaining? |

| Posted 9 months ago I'm watching God father III right now. I've seen it 20 times and have it on DVD but, i can't change the channel. |

| Posted 9 months ago I think it is the structure and discipline portrayed in those movies....a fine line between good and evil. The morals are there, but they are crime driven, if that makes sense.

| Posted 9 months ago JIMROC said: Maybe you're right about glorifying crime, but I enjoy seeing the stories of an organization that has played such an integral part in the political and social development of our nation. I don't ever condone what they did, but it is truly interesting to see their antics. It is also interesting to see how they get caught, or the level of revenge they levy against one another. For those of us with high morals...it just blows our mind, coupled with our sick sense of humor from being and LEO...sometimes we laugh. The same goes for Old West Villains and Biker Gangs also....very intriguing. "Show class, have pride, and display character.

| Posted 9 months ago DOHare said: Good guess....it was in the beginning when they met with Don Carlo and Gotti agreed to whack the Irish guy in the bar. They were in the car, Angelo Ruggiero was with them. Neal was in the back seat. "Show class, have pride, and display character.

| Posted 9 months ago I like the this kind of movies for the following reason; they all show you how you can live the American dream for a few momments, but in the end you get fck in one way or another. Dead or in jail, and reminds me every day why I didn't choose the path. Also back in the days the mafia had more respect for the people, they had rule to follow, thay can not just wack any body they had to ask the head of the family for ex. the Godfather. also they use to help the community for what ever reason. Now you get this youngters ganster want to be, all they think of is money and kill. No respect for the community all they are is selfish. |
|
| Posted 9 months ago It's a world that so little people see and realize is out there and how it works. Before it was all about respect and making money now it's all about greed and power. As Silvio would say "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in." You can't forget about the Sopranos. |
|
| Posted 9 months ago Why not...We are talking about ganster movies...Sex, Money and Killing...What's more do you want... |
