"There are thousands of movies out there that tell the story of various crime families, individuals, and mob capers, but they're not all created equal. Stacker compiled data on all crime movies registered on IMDb and Metacritic, sorting through them to pick out the best gangster/mob movies and ranking them according to a weighted index split evenly between IMDb user rating and Metascore (data was collected on Dec. 20, 2020). To qualify, the film had to have significant plot points that involve gangsters, the mob, the Italian American Mafia, or other similar crime organizations.
From foreign films such as "Ash Is Purest White" to classics like "The Godfather" and box-office hits like "Baby Driver," here are the 50 gangster movies considered to be the best of all time."
