The gangster movie is one of the most popular genres in film. From
the Italian, Irish, and Russian "families" in America to similarly
sinister groups in Europe, Japan, and beyond, the cinema has never
shied away from portraying the evil exploits of these brutal
outfits. In this highly entertaining and informative book, two
accomplished and apropos authors put the genre in perspective like
no other author or documentarian has done before.
"The Ultimate Book of Gangster Movies" provides extensive
reviews of the Top 100 gangster films of all time, including
sidebars like "Reality Check," "Hit and Miss," "I Know That Guy,"
"Body Count," and other fun and informative features. Also included
are over a dozen stand-alone chapters such as Sleeper "Hits,"
"Fugazi" Flops, Guilty Pleasures, Lost Treasures, Q&A
Interviews with top actors and directors (including Chazz
Palinteri, Michael Madsen, Joe Mantagna, and more), plus over 50
compelling photographs.
Foreword by Joe Pistone, the FBI agent and mob infiltrator who
wrote the bestselling book and acclaimed movie, "Donnie
Brasco."
