![]() Gangsters - The Ultimate Film Collection (American Gangster / Scarface (1983) / Casino / Carlito's Way) $27.98 This was the best deal, I am so glade that I did this, And My husband Loves his new collection.. Thank you. ![]() American Gangster (2-Disc Unrated Extended Edition) $14.98 This is yet another ultimate movie from Ridley Scott, Denzel Washington, and Russell Crowe. This is not just a gangster flick, but, like The Godfather & Heat, is also a psychological drama. It tells the story of Frank Lucas, an African-American man who becomes a #1 drug importer in 60's Harlem. Richie Roberts is the cop who's willing to bring Lucas and his tainted business down. Seems like a simple story, but the film itself is far more complex. There is more story than action (not to say it is bad, but it really stands out with other awe-inspiring motion pictures). Ridley Scott simply knows how to make a great film, and this is one of his greatest. The performances here are also memorable. Washington, Crowe, Brolin, Gooding Jr., Nadal, Dee, Common, and T.I. give their roles their all, and they do it almost flawlessly. I'm surprised Washington wasn't even nominated for an Oscar. And the costumes and sets are just ravishing! It really feels like you're back in the late 60's, where you're anticipating the most intense boxing night in history. It's not as great as other gangster/cop flicks, but it's great on its own level. Grade: A ![]() Gangster Fedora , BLACK, ONE SIZE $4.99 I got the hat right on time, if not quicker then i thought ! great for a costume and everyday use. fits my head perfectly :) ![]() Warner Gangsters Collection, Vol. 1 (The Public Enemy / White Heat / Angels with Dirty Faces / Little Caesar / The Petrified Forest / The Roaring Twenties) $68.98 This is the collection i have been looking forward to. It contians the classic elements of good and evil clearly envisioned by the writers,directors and actors. They are career starters for Cagney, Robinson and Bogart.
