From The Godfather to Get Carter, tales of organized crime have produced many of the big screen's greatest films and most memorable moments. The Rough Guide to Gangster Movies gives you the low-down on all aspects of the genre. It's all here, from James Cagney and his fellow 1930s mobsters right up to the hitmen of Quentin Tarantino and John Woo ? not forgetting all the Goodfellas, Untouchables and Kings of New York in between. Features include:
? Godfathers of the genre: 50 essential gangster movies from Scarface to Le Samourai.
? Gangster icons: Actors and directors such as Edward G. Robinson, Al Pacino, Humphrey Bogart, Robert De Niro, Chow Yun-Fat, Michael Caine, Takeshi Kitano, Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese.
? Gangster essentials: The guns, the cars, the molls, and the classic, all-too-familiar plots.
? Global gangsters: Japanese Yakuza flicks, Russian Mafiosi films and other mobster movies from across the world.
? The information: The best gangster soundtracks, film books, magazines, videogames and websites.
The Rough Guide to Gangster Movies is an offer you can't refuse.
