GROOVERS & MOBSTERS PRESENT: GANGSTER MOVIES

“Yes, London. You know: fish, chips, cup ‘o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins… LONDON.”

As you know, THE LIST doesn’t typically do reviews… we do LISTS… hence the name… duh!

However, when I was asked by Heather (from MOVIE MOBSTERS) and Andy (from FANDANGO GROOVERS MOVIE BLOG) to be a part of their new ongoing monthly series that looks at different film genres, I couldn’t resist. The idea was to pick a film from a particular genre, in this case Gangster films, and give a short review coupled with thoughts on how the film had impacted it’s particular genre. While reviews bore me to tears to write (mainly cuz I suck at them), the idea of looking how a film could influence a genre as a whole sounded very interesting. So, since most of the classics were taken, I decided to focus on a more recent entry into the world of Gangster movies. I present you with my choice: SNATCH (2000).

MOVIES THAT SOUND LIKE PORN

So, how ’bout another quickie? No? All right, a list it is then.

Keeping with last Wednesday’s theme, but flipping the idea just a bit, I thought this week we’d discuss movies who’s titles could be used for porn without being changed. This was actually a ton of fun to do. I have countless DVD’s on shelves stacked 3 deep. The funny thing is, I didn’t have to go past the first row to find all of these. If you’re ever bored, I highly suggest trying this!

Here we go with some of my favorites (in no particular order):
