Have you seen Carlito's Way?

Yep, although it's been awhile. Are you asking for a recommendation or to recommend it to me?

Neither. Kinda wanted to talk about the movie.

A Baby's Day Out is the best one out of the bunch.

You shut your mouth, A Fistful Of Dollars is a cinema masterpiece. Because Clint Eastwood. Interesting to describe it as a mob movie though.

I'm going out on a limb and say he was being sarcastic.

Clint plays two mobs and pits them against each other in A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS. Wasn't being sarcastic about that. There are plenty of movies based on the Kabuki original.

I wasn't kidding about BABY DAY'S OUT either. There is a mob involved, a person in a terrible gorilla suit, and someone had to *expletive deleted* John Hughes * expletive deleted* for him to make one of the most awesomeness and terribly bad movies of the 90's.

I still think its interesting to call it a mob movie. When I hear "mob" I'm thinking Italian and such. Not necessarily gangs in general. But whatever.

Interesting 60's movie dealing with an older business man coming to love a much younger hippie girl. Pretty good movie, although I'm not really sure its something one should necessarily check.

Public Enemy and Miller's Crossing are two that come to mind.

I watched Public Enemy. It was so-so. Johnny Depp never struck me the mobster type. I can't imagine Christian Bale being a good guy after seeing American Psycho. It might have worked had Bale been the mobster and Depp the cop. The camera work is similar to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Which btw I love but doesn't suit well in a serious crime drama. Also, It's an overall slow movie and not a good slow like The Shining. At times I felt like Michael Mann was just stalling. The story was pretty good though. I'd give a solid C-. It was a little slow for my taste in crime dramas and more specifically mobster films. I don't usually critique movies as I'm easy to please but I just had to say something about this one.
