If you’re a fan of the mafia genre, then you’ve probably seen all of these movies on netflix already. And if that’s true, then why are you still reading this? Watch The Godfather series and have fun! If not, I’m glad you’re here because I want to introduce seven great mafia movies I think everyone should watch in 2019. These movies are The Godfather (all three), Goodfellas (both parts), Casino, The Departed and Donnie Brasco.

The Godfather series

You can’t go wrong with the Godfather series. The first film, a classic in its own right, was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and took home 3. The second movie won 5 Oscars, including best Picture.

The third film isn’t quite as popular or well-known but still received praise from critics everywhere—and it’s not bad! Two mini-series were made independently: “The Godfather Saga” and “The Godfather Death Scenes.” In 2019 we got another reboot of sorts when Netflix released its version of the story starring Al Pacino himself in a younger incarnation as Michael Corleone (now called Michael Baccala).

Donnie Brasco

Donnie Brasco is a 1997 epic crime film starring Johnny Depp and Al Pacino. It’s set in New York and tells the story of an undercover FBI agent who infiltrates the mafia.

This is based on a true story where Joe Pistone (Depp) goes undercover to infiltrate the Bonanno crime family. He becomes close friends with Lefty Ruggiero (Pacino), who helps him become “Donnie Brasco,” an up-and-coming member of their organization. Eventually, Pistone must decide whether to remain faithful to his duties as an FBI agent or give up everything he’s built working among these criminals so he can continue living as Donnie Brasco.

The Departed

The Departed is a 2006 crime drama film directed by Martin Scorsese, written by William Monahan, and starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The film’s title refers to the police officers working undercover as gangsters within the Massachusetts State Police Crime Control Bureau (real-life Boston Gang Task Force) who were known as “hoods.” The film was nominated for numerous awards, including four Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director (Scorcese), Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing, which it won for editor Thelma Schoonmaker.

In 2008, the American Film Institute included The Departed on their list of the Top 10 Gangster Films Of All Time, along with Scarface.

The movie follows Henry Hill (Liotta), a small-time gangster looking to make it big one day. After meeting Jimmy (De Niro) and Tommy (Pesci) at an Italian festival in Brooklyn, he quickly gets involved with the mob lifestyle, leading him down a dark path towards his eventual downfall.

The story follows Sam “Ace” Rothstein (De Niro), who runs gambling operations for the Chicago Outfit in Las Vegas and later becomes an independent operation manager after being banned from Nevada gaming circles. Along with his friend and fellow mobster Nicky Santoro (Pesci), Ace oversees the day-to-day operations of the Tangiers casino; while also dealing with conflicts within his family life when he starts dating Ginger McKenna (Stone).

His team includes Sean Connery (as Joseph Malone), Robert De Niro (as Jim Malone) and Charles Martin Smith (as Peter Neeley). Directed by Brian De Palma and based on The Untouchables by Eliot Ness, this film remains faithful to its source material while incorporating elements of humour throughout.
