Characters from Goodfellas, The Sopranos, and Once Upon a Time in America
Calling The Sopranos one of the best TV shows of all time is easy, similar to proclaiming John Williams an all-time great film composer. Running for six seasons between 1999 and 2007, The Sopranos was a crime show, sure, but it was also much more, functioning as a family drama, a dark comedy, a satire of American life in the early 21st century, and sometimes even something approaching a work of psychological drama/horror.
9 'Mean Streets' Director: Martin Scorsese Speaking of Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro, Mean Streets marked the first time the pair worked together, and it proved to be a monumentally important film in both of their respective filmographies. It’s a loosely plotted crime/drama movie about some small-time criminals with aspirations to become something bigger, though all inevitably find it difficult to climb the ranks when it comes to the mobsters they associate with.
7 'Once Upon a Time in America' Director: Sergio Leone For as good as the aforementioned The Godfather – as well as its first sequel – are, there’s an argument to be made that the best gangster epic is Once Upon a Time in America. After all, this is a film that feels bigger than any individual movie in the Godfather series, covering decades and showing how young hoodlums grow into vicious young gangsters who then grow into regretful old men.
The Public Enemy NR Release Date April 23, 1931 Director William A. Wellman Cast James Cagney , Jean Harlow , Joan Blondell Runtime 83 Main Genre Crime Watch on Tubi It’s not an all-out comedy, but Miller’s Crossing does have a typically Coen-ey dark sense of humor at times, and it’s worth highlighting that The Sopranos – while technically a drama – can also be hilarious at times. That might be a somewhat tenuous connection, but there are gangsters and uneasy laughs to be found in both works… that’s better than nothing!
