5 Must See Gangster/Mafia Films

If you are anything like me, your dad loves the gangster/mafia film genre and has been watching them all your life. Here are a few that you must watch if you like films like this or are interested in getting into them.

The Godfather Part 1 (1972) and Part 2 (1974)

This is a no brainer. If you like gangster/mafia films you have probably seen this trilogy. The third one isn't as good as the first two, and the sequel is close to being better than the first. My dad would argue that everyone in the world should see this at least once, and I would have to agree. Starring Marlin Brando, "The Godfather" is centered around an Italian-American family involved in the mafia. When the Godfather's son Michael joins the family business (reluctantly,) his entire life changes. Part 2 involves a story about the differences between Vito Corleone's life and his son Michael's.

Goodfellas (1990) 

Giphy

My personal favorite, "Goodfellas" is a story about Henry Hill and his growth being apart of the mob scene. He has everything that he wants but doesn't acknowledge the problems it causes.

The Public Enemy (1931)

This is an older film about Tom Powers and his sidekick Matt Doyle, who rose from poverty stricken lives to crime involved thieves, with enough money to support their families — especially Tom's mother.

Bonnie and Clyde (1967)

Giphy

A crime loving duo, starring Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty, Bonnie and Clyde meet when Clyde tries to steal Bonnie's mother's car. From there, they're hooked on each other and committing crimes with one another.

Pulp Fiction (1994)

http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/23/showbiz/movies/pulp-fiction-20th-anniversary/index.html

Starring Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta, Vincent and Jules are "Hitmen with a penchant for philosophical discussions." This film tells the stories of not only them, but their boss Marsellus, and his wife Mia, a boxer named Butch, and a pair of robbers, Pumpkin and Honey Bunny.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
