Al Capone is supposedly related to me from generations back, my family jokes about it all the time, I found it hard to believe but it's true.
Here is my list. 'Tis a long and extensive one:
Dustin Hoffman as Dutch Schultz in Billy Bathgate. Movie has been derided by critics but I always felt Hoffman did a very good job with the character.
Gabril Byrne as Tom Reagan in Miller's Crossing.
The crazy and always entertaining Johnny Boy in Mean Streets.
Al Pacino as "Lefty" Benjamin Ruggiero in Donnie Brasco.
Steve Buscemi as Tony Blundetto in The Sopranos.
Joe Paltoniano as Ralph Cifaretto in The Sopranos.
Joe Patloniano as Jimmy Murtha in EZ Streets.
Vince Curatola as Johnny Sack in The Sopranos.
Abe Vigoda as Salvatore Tessio in The Godfather. Hated it when he was offed in the end. Shouldn't have made that deal with Don Barzini.
Peter Clemenza in The Godfather. Would have loved to have seen him do the sequel. Too bad Richard Castellano was making unrealistic and dumb demands with his girlfriend about how he wants to have control over his own character's dialogue in The Godfather: part II.
Denzel Washington as Frankie Lucas in American Gangster. Denzel did a great job portraying Frankie Lucas as a debonair, charming, charismatic and moral family man when the real life Frankie Lucas was an uneducated, vile, despicable and immoral human being.
Carlito Brigante in Carlito's Way.
Al Pacino's performance as Michael Corleone in The Godfather: part III. So many aphorisms which is so true in today's world. "Never hate your enemy. It clouds your judgment." This was an underrated movie.

As for real life nutbar's I'll have to go with Mickey Featherstone from the westies. A gang the mob didn't want to war with.

In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.
As far as a fictional character goes, I like Micheal Sullivan (Tom Hanks), from the road to predation.
For a real one, I'm kind of partial to Lucky Luciano.

Why save the world, when you can rule it?
Gangsters are largely scum. However I approve of Stalin at the time when he was just a bank robber. We could use more bank robbers these days. It's a political crime - you'll be fine. Go out and liberate the capital :thumbsup:
Tony Montana.
"Shit assed fuck!"
"Fuckin fuck"
"Jou wanna take me?. Jou is gonna need a fucking army to take me!."
"Say hello to my little friend." See if Scotland had a version of Tony Montana he would have said it like "Say hullo tae ma wee pal." lol
Yes indeed. Tony Montana is the man.
