Heat too really - probably the best bank heist movie of all time, had Deniro and Pacino on screen together...it's certainly up there for that particular genre..

Donnie Brasco was dope too..

Snatch is the most entertaining movie on that whole list and its the only comedy. Everything about that movie is fun from the score to the scenery.

The Usual suspects I kinda agree only cause on a 2nd and 3rd viewing you aren't wowed like the first time you saw it. Only cause its a mystery/suspense movie. The acting is top notch however.

does that make it a classic movie though?

I'm not really saying it's not? I can be convinced that it is...it's more of a visceral feeling I'm going off of

I'm a chick so Sharon Stone in Casino is iconic to me, and I love a good love tale with a hot Italian guy... A Bronx Tale has some of my favorite Quotables too, so does Scarface though...

Casino and Bronx Tale are huge to me...

i'm not that huge a mob movie person so it's pretty much a toss up...

Snatch is one of my fav movies period though

since i slightly like the godfathers more than goodfellas and Heat and Scarface kinda cancel each other out i'm going with A...

but it's very close

belong on the list w/these movies?

I'd replace it w/something like 'Daughters of the Dust' or 'Lady Sings The Blues' if we're talking movies that are universally recognized as classics.

1st thought was "Do the Right Thing" but two spike movies were a bit much

I considered Eve's Bayou also

Dead Presidents is a good movie tho (bokeem??! dog!)

I honestly off-the-top couldn't think of a unarguably better pick for the "Best Black Movie" list

I thought Fresh would be the one to get push-back (if anything I thought Dead Presidents was more known)

neither "Menace", "Boyz" or the other two you listed is *as* good (imho) than anything listed there

good...but not as good or better
