I really liked
City of God, but we'll probably stick more to American gangster flicks.
I hope you're kidding about the
Analyze... movies. I'll assume you are.
The movies I'm thinking of so far, just kind of off the top of my head, are:
Little CaesarThe Public Enemy(the original)
ScarfaceAngels with Dirty FacesWhite HeatThe Roaring TwentiesKey LargoOnce upon a Time in AmericaMiller's CrossingGoodFellaspossibly all three
Godfathers (any excuse to rewatch
I and
II, and I don't think I've ever actually watched
III--even if it is bad, I should probably see it)
[/list]
There's a gaping hole there through the 50s and 60s, I think. Also, we're obviously going to pare this down a bit. Not sure how many Cagney movies we need, for instance.
Several of those we've seen (can't count how many times I've seen
GoodFellas, for instance), but unlike Adam & Sam I don't think that should disqualify them from the marathon. They may be the first to get cut, though--we'll see.

p.s. I hadn't thought of
A Bronx Tale, but I remember liking that. Wasn't the actor that plays the main kid in that movie busted for murder recently or something? Same kid that played Matt Bevilaccua (sp.?) on
The Sopranos, right?
