With St. Patrick's Day approaching, I figured this might help some of you green-wearing, hard-drinking bastards:

10. The Public Enemy

9. The St. Valentine's Day Massacre

8. Road to Perdition

7. Gangs of New York

6. Prime Cut

5. The General

4. Kill the Irishman

3. The Departed

2. Miller's Crossing

1. State of Grace

Hopefully Scorsese gets to complete his Irish trilogy with The Irishman so we can see it join such prestigious company.

Im going to assume with a name like SeanJoyce-your Irish?
Not all Irish are the hard drinking sterotype.

Sean. You might be a cousin. Do you have family from Maine or Mass.? Notice my nom de plume. That's Joyce Country(counties Mayo & Galway). BTW Public Enemy is rated #8 Gangster movie ( trivia pg.)

Kill the Irishman was fun, but The Public Enemy was better.

Then again, if the movie is being judged by its Irish influence, I guess that one probably would rank higher.
