Reservoir dogs seems to be a little out of place.... I still voted for it, because when I come to power as the Supreme World Leader and purge humanity of the unworthy, Tarantino will be the only movie director I will keep alive.

PS The first vote was MINE!!! My road to domination begins!!!!!

For sure. The Godfather & Once Upon a Time in America fit with the other choices a lot better.

Out of the list, I choose Goodfellas.

Well I believe that both of those are great films that would probably blow the other options away if I had included them in the poll... so I just excluded them. We all know that they are awesome crime films. Thats what I dislike the Rotten Tomatoes 5 favorite films collum.. people always mention the same movies. So why not include other movies in this poll? :P

my vote goes to chinatown although the emphasis isnt really on the gangsters like in the others. its such a great excersize in style and its wrapped around an engaging mystery. then the ending is just so haunting...

I have yet to see Goodfellas, but Chinatown is one of the greatest films I've ever seen. The plot is great and it's acted fantastically.

I have never seen Chinatown... so out of the remaining three, I would have to say Casino.

Actually, I HAVE seen Chinatown... good film. I am still sticking with Casino though. Chinatown is more film noir for me.

Scarface is better than Godfather

People keep talking about Scarface so some years ago I saw it... It wasn't as great as many people say. It is a good movie, i wont deny that, but It just overrated. It can also be said that it was really long. :P

I went with Chinatown because to me it's by far the best film of the bunch. Casino doesn't rank with me because it's just a less-good attempt at recreating former glories. Reservoir Dogs (like Scarface) gets way way more credit than it comes close to deserving. Goodfellas is pretty damn good, but a bit too aware of itself. Chinatown is just a confident, impressive showing from start to finish.

The Godfather is a longer and superior movie than Scarface. I felt that Scarface dragged for a while in several parts.

Goodfellas was an excellent movie. I also enjoyed Casino as the actors stuck with their character role; Deniro as a calm and collected mobster and Pesci as a wild out of control pyschopath.

Thats my main problem with Casino, its basically the same movie as Goodfellas but in Las Vegas. The script is also very recycled. Its pretty overrated IMO.

Goodfellas easily. Its got an amazing ensemble with some sweet cameos and sick direction.

Reservoir Dogs suffers from QT only wanting to hear his actors talk.

Casino would be my second choice but it seems kinda dragged out at times.

Chinatown still need to finish it.

But my favorite crime films: The Godfather 1&2, City of God.

Casino isn't overrated, because other than this poll/thread, no one gives it much credit at all.

Goodfellas is the best movie I've ever seen. What's really amazing is that it's all true.

That old movie, Chintatown, although the gangsters aren't really "organized crime".
