Top 10 gangster films
10. The Untouchables
920′s prohibition Chicago is corrupt from the judges downward. So in going up against Al Capone, Treasury agent Eliot Ness picks just two cops to help him and his accountant colleague. One is a sharp-shooting rookie, the other a seen-it-all beat man. The four of them are ready to battle Capone and his empire, but it could just be that guns are not the best way to get him.
9. The Departed
In South Boston, the state police force is waging war on Irish-American organized crime. Young undercover cop Billy Costigan is assigned to infiltrate the mob syndicate run by gangland chief Frank Costello. While Billy quickly gains Costello’s confidence, Colin Sullivan, a hardened young criminal who has infiltrated the state police as an informer for the syndicate, is rising to a position of power in the Special Investigation Unit. Each man becomes deeply consumed by his double life, gathering information about the plans and counter-plans of the operations he has penetrated. But when it becomes clear to both the mob and the police that there’s a mole in their midst, Billy and Colin are suddenly in danger of being caught and exposed to the enemy-and each must race to uncover the identity of the other man in time to save himself. But is either willing to turn on the friends and comrades they’ve made during their long stints undercover?
8. Casino
his Martin Scorsese film depicts the Janus-like quality of Las Vegas–it has a glittering, glamorous face, as well as a brutal, cruel one. Ace Rothstein and Nicky Santoro, mobsters who move to Las Vegas to make their mark, live and work in this paradoxical world. Seen through their eyes, each as a foil to the other, the details of mob involvement in the casinos of the 1970′s and ’80′s are revealed. Ace is the smooth operator of the Tangiers casino, while Nicky is his boyhood friend and tough strongman, robbing and shaking down the locals. However, they each have a tragic flaw–Ace falls in love with a hustler, Ginger, and Nicky falls into an ever-deepening spiral of drugs and violence.
7. Reservoir Dogs
They were six strangers, assembled to pull off the perfect crime: Mr. White, a professional criminal; Mr. Orange, a young newcomer; Mr. Blonde, a trigger-happy killer; Mr. Pink, a paranoid neurotic; Mr. Brown; and Mr. Blue. Hired by mob boss Joe Cabot and given fake names so no one could identify the others, they thought there was no way their heist could have failed. But after a police ambush, killing Mr. Brown and seriously injuring Mr. Orange, the criminals return to their rendezvous point (a warehouse), and realize that one of them had to have been a police informant. But who?
6. Carlito's Way
Carlito has just gotten out of prison due to technicalities with the help of his sleazy lawyer. After a life spent trafficking heroin he decides not to pursue the life of the streets. He buys into a night club and begins saving money to move to the Bahamas, but his presence as a known player makes it inevitable that he get sucked back into his violent former life.
5. Scarface
An update of the 1932 film, Scarface (1983) follows gangster Tony Montana and his close friend Manny Ray from their trip on the Cuban Boat Lift for refugees to their arrival in Miami. After killing a powerful Cuban figure, Montana and company gain the ability to leave their refugee camps and roam around the U.S. After unsuccessfully trying to make it legitamately in the country, Montana and Ray resort to selling cocaine to dealers around the world. Tony’s rise is quick, but as he becomes more powerful, his enemies and his own paranoia begin to plague his empire.
4. Once upon a time in America
Epic, episodic, tale of the lives of a small group of New York City Jewish gangsters spanning over 40 years. Told mostly in flashbacks and flash-forwards, the movie centers on small-time hood David ‘Noodles’ Aaronson and his lifelong partners in crime; Max, Cockeye and Patsy and their friends from growing up in the rough Jewish neighborhood of New York’s Lower East Side in the 1920s, to the last years of Prohibition in the early 1930s, and then to the late 1960s where an elderly Noodles returns to New York after many years in hiding to look into the past.
3. Godfather Part 2
2. Good Fellas
The lowly, blue-collar side of New York’s Italian mafia is explored in this crime biopic of wiseguy Henry Hill. As he makes his way from strapping young petty criminal, to big-time thief, to middle-aged cocaine addict and dealer, the film explores in detail the rules and traditions of organized crime. Watching the rise and fall of Hill and his two counterparts, the slick jack-of-all-trades criminal Jimmy Conway and the brutish, intimidating Tommy DeVito, this true story realistically explores the core, blue-collar part of the mob.
1. The Godfather
the Godfather has to be number 1 because it is unparalleled in this genre (and virtually all others). Vito Corleone is the aging don (head) of the Corleone Mafia Family. His youngest son Michael has returned from WWII just in time to see the wedding of Connie Corleone (Michael’s sister) to Carlo Rizzi. All of Michael’s family is involved with the Mafia, but Michael just wants to live a normal life. Drug dealer Virgil Sollozzo is looking for Mafia Families to offer him protection in exchange for a profit of the drug money. He approaches Don Corleone about it, but, much against the advice of the Don’s lawyer Tom Hagen, the Don is morally against the use of drugs, and turns down the offer. This does not please Sollozzo, who has the Don shot down by some of his hit men. The Don barely survives, which leads his son Michael to begin a violent mob war against Sollozzo and tears the Corleone family apart.

The Wire complete series
At this time, I wanted the greatest TV show that ever existed so I looked online. IMDB gave The Wire a 9.6. I bought the complete series. It's on DirectTV channel 101. It said "The Wire" and it's cheap off Ebay so I bought it for $60. I should have had it by now, but better really late than never.
Then I found I could also afford a new PSP 3000. The employee said it lasted 2 - 3 years, because that's what he heard on the streets. That's why there isn't any new PSP 1000s around. I needed a backup, because new ones will be hard to find after Vita comes out. PSVita comes out next month and I have money for it. I want Final Fantasy X HD the most.

Russian Pak Da
The PAK DA is going to be heavily based on Russia’s current supersonic bomber Tupolev Tu-160 and is expected to have it’s maiden flight by 2015. However it was also speculated that the PAK DA would be similar to the stealthy design of the America B-2 Spirit bomber.The PAK DA concept relies on the ability to fly at stratospheric altitudes (50,000 meters) with stealth features to avoid enemy air defenses.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The United States next generation bomber is going to be based on B2 Spirit, F-22 and F35 and is affordable. Although, I wish Northrop Gruman drop the F35 technology, because the F-35 Lightning II doesn't have any anti-gravity technology. B2 and F-22 have the anti-gravity technology.
Total program cost estimated at $40 to $50 billion
Fleet size of 175 aircraft, 120 for 10 combat squadrons plus 55 for training and reserves
Subsonic maximum speed
Range: 5,000+ nautical miles (9,260+ km)
"optionally manned" (for non-nuclear missions)
Total mission durations of 50 to 100 hours (when unmanned)
A weapons load of 14,000–28,000 lb (6,350–12,700 kg)
Ability to "survive daylight raids in heavily defended enemy territory"
Ability to carry nuclear weapon
Designed to use off-the-shelf propulsion, C4ISR, and radar technologies
Intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance along with command and control gear to enable the crew to direct other aircraft and forces.

New Years
Why the heck are the javascript slideshows popular and AVC Slideshows suck? I want to know! I used ProShow Gold, the premiere slideshow maker, because it was installed (only 30 MB executable ). I was going to download 200 MB of Cyberlink Power Director 7 Ultra for editing when I get around to it. I have the cheesy music, because I don't get comments with my Metallica, Queen, Sasha, Led Zeppelin songs during my slideshow. I have 5 minute commentary. I thought they wanted to see every game clearly so a slideshow made sense for my last November video...
For the non-cheesy music version!
Users collect this on Gamespot. I'm not a cosplay type! I only watched 66% of these once completely thru. The remaining 33% I seen one of hour minimum of all these series. I watched all the war movies 100% from start to finish at least once. I've seen Band of Brothers twice, Pacific once, The Longest Day at least 10 times, Winds of War once, War and Remembrance twice, Tora, Tora, Tora 10 times; The North and the South twice, The Blue and Gray once, and the rest of War movies at least once.
