Is mobshit the most overrated genre?
The Conversation and Apocalypse Now kick the shit out the 2 Godfathers, so yes, I suppose.

I'm black and I think you meant gangstershit
>>63621944
only if you're a child and have no understanding of honor or responsiblity
>>63621944
agenre cannot be overrated because a movie cannot be judged based on its genre.
>>63622156
But a genre can be rated on its genre you fucking pedant.
>>63622260
How can you rate a genre? What's better gangster or scifi? It all depends on the movie.
Yes. I have watched Godfather 1, Casino, The Sopranos, and Goodfellas. I didn't like any of them. I don't get the appeal.

Idk, ask people who say "I love gangster/sci fi/horror films etc.".
You are rating popular movies and common tropes within the genre itself. Someone might prefer a gangster movie to a sci-fi one simply because they inherently enjoy the subject matter more, and thus they will always prefer mob movies to sci-fi barring some exceptions.
Its not very hard to understand. You've never heard someone say "I love (insert genre here) movies"?
>>63622444
Same here. Goodfellas was the best out of all them, but still mediocre.
>>63621962
>Apocalypse Now
this isn't even the best nam movie. it's actually pretty overrated.
in movies:
triads > mobsters > yakuza > gangster shit
I've always seen a curious trend, homosexuals and fatherless guys (unless lower class) always seem to dislike mobsters movies.
>>63622517
That type of thinking is just dumb. I would expect that from people that don't watch a lot of movies and don't really appreciate movies and really shouldn't post.
I only seen this one, Narcos and it's pretty good. DO you guys like?
I feel like it's a really good role to take.. Prolly why Johhny Depp took a role like a Mob boss recently.
>>63621944
Black here, why do whites love watching fat violent Italians so much?
>>63622697
At my last job during the training this black guy kept going on and on about how he loves mob movies and can't stop himself from watching them when they come on the tv.
He spent a good 2 hours reciting lines from various Al Pacino movies, mostly Scarface.
>>63622665
How fucking old are you holy shit dude? Narcos is your first mob movie?
>>63623182
20, well I watched Cocaine Cowboys documentary which is kind of like Mob bosses IRL.. I don't watch much film since being absolutely disappointed by recent movies coming out, maybe it is time to go back and watch more of the classics.
>>63623390
y r u on this board?
>>63623390
>disappointed by recent movies coming out,
you're not looking hard enough
>>63623427
If you think this board is filled with film experts and lovers you're absolutely wrong.
IT's filled with plebs like me who will jerk off to the new Star Wars movies because we have very little taste
>>63623482
That was 3-4 years ago when I went from going to the cinema almost 2 a month to not at all. The movies really were horrible.
And I absolutely don't feel like I'm missing out on a single fucking thing.
>>63623482
Hello reddit. Those flicks you're watching that rotten tomatoes has told you are good are actually just shitty propaganda.
>Gangster movies I was excited to love but weren't enjoyable in the slightest
Goodfellas
Godfather
Godfather 2
Casino
I liked Scarface though
>>63623808
scarface is by far the worst on that list
>>63622444
>>63622564
It's one thing to be bored by The Godfather, but Goodfellas? FORGEDABOUTIT.
>>63623847
Scarface has meme-appeal. :^)
>>63623525
Again you're not looking hard enough
>>63623538
You're not either
>>63624204
Too embarrassed to name any I see.
>>63622444
Sopranos is not a mafia show, kill yourself.
>>63622568
Despite the "lol this is literally vietnam" garbage that coppola and his PR were spouting at the time, lets be honest its basically Heart of Darkness with a vietnam paintjob.
The movie doesnt seem to give a fuck that its set in Nam and isnt pandering to any vietnam veterans. All wars are fucking terrible, Apocalypse Now deals with more general ideas not particular to any one war.
