By skyforbes Hello people! I know that I am a kind of late bloomer. Still, at the age of 26, I have finally watched the mob film classics: Donnie Brasco, The Godfather, The Goodfellas, The Sopranos, The Casino and revisited The Scarface (both the original one and the Tony Montana story that I first watched years ago, although it is not strictly a mafia movie). On top of that, I loved The Irishman. I sincerely do not understand the hate towards this movie. It is a tragic and realistic picture of the mafia in the 1950s and 1980s, with surprisingly great historical accuracy, if we set aside the fact that Sheeran is an unreliable storyteller. I also did not hate on de-ageing; it is fine, especially given that it is the first movie ever to use this technology on a full scale.
Anyway, could you recommend more mob movies that are more or less in line with the melancholic spirit of The Irishman or The Godfather, but not as mythological as The Godfather?
PS. Gofdather is fantastic, but not the best, in my opinion.
