The original Japanese of "The Departed" a much better version. I'm afraid Scorsese's days are almost over.
 
Millers crossing (John Turturro legend)
White heat (no1 is better than cagney)
Carlito's way (sean penn immense)
Mou gaan dou (pisses on the departed)
City of god (for its cinematography)
La Haine (vinny the best out there)
On the waterfront (he could of been a contender you know)

Good call, I'm a big fan of Jimmy Cagney - Public Enemy, Angels with Dirty Faces are superb too

Swales, when my late mother was a young un in the 30's Cagney was her film idol. She wrote a letter to him and it was addressed 'James Cagney,hollywood, california, usa' Several weeks later she got a reply from him with a signed picture of him and his dog. Though the dog didn't sign it! She thought the sun shone out of his and Pat O'briens jacksy.

Haha great little story, another top Cagney film was "Kiss tomorrow goodbye".
And "Come fill the cup" (not a gangsta film, but a classic).

The films Zin Zim mentions are all superb, and as he says, Sean Penn was superb in "Carlitos Way", but he couldn't have done it without the perm and Adidas tracky.
