The 50 Best Gangster Movies of All Time According to 24/7 Wall St

"Of all the genres of film, there may be none more beloved by American moviegoers than the organized crime drama. For well over a century, film fans have flocked to theaters to see extraordinary tales of people living outside the law. To determine the best gangster films of all time, 24/7 Tempo developed an index using average ratings on IMDb, an online movie database, and a combination of audience scores and Tomatometer scores on Rotten Tomatoes, an online movie and TV review aggregator, current as of December 2021. All ratings were weighted equally. Only movies classified in the crime genre tagged with the keyword 'gangster' on IMDb, or those that were nominated by the American Film Institute for their 2008 list of top 10 gangster films, were considered. We excluded films that did not explicitly center on organized crime or criminals in the context of a larger organization. Movies released in every decade rank on this list rank among the very best movies of all-time." - 247wallst.com
