My top 10 gangster movies #8 Dead Mans Shoes ( 2004)

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4271) • Northampton, England 24 Feb

The worlds bravest dude about to be sold out by the west?

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4271) • Northampton, England 19 Feb

My Top 10 gangster movies : The Godfather (1972)

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4271) • Northampton, England 2 Feb

I put this classic no where near the top of the ten as I feel it's more pastiche of what Italian mobsters are like from the old country than reality. Oscar winning Marlon Brando was so narked he had to audition for the film he...
