Storyline
Cops and Robbers Movie
Hunters and their prey--Neil and his professional criminal crew hunt to score big money targets (banks, vaults, armored cars) and are, in turn, hunted by Lt. Vincent Hanna and his team of cops in the Robbery/Homicide police division. A botched job puts Hanna onto their trail while they regroup and try to put together one last big 'retirement' score. Neil and Vincent are similar in many ways, including their troubled personal lives. At a crucial moment in his life, Neil disobeys the dictum taught to him long ago by his criminal mentor--'Never have anything in your life that you can't walk out on in thirty seconds flat, if you spot the heat coming around the corner'--as he falls in love. Thus the stage is set for the suspenseful ending.... Written by Tad Dibbern <DIBBERN_D@a1.mscf.upenn.edu>

Organized crime is a category of transnational, national, or local groupings of highly centralized enterprises run by criminals who intend to engage in illegal activity, most commonly for profit. Some criminal organizations, such as terrorist groups, are politically motivated. Sometimes criminal organizations force people to do business with them, such as when a gang extorts money from shopkeepers for "protection".[1] Gangs may become disciplined enough to be considered organized. A criminal organization or gang can also be referred to as a mafia, mob,[2][3] ring,[4] or syndicate;[5] the network, subculture and community of criminals may be referred to as the underworld. European sociologists (e.g. Diego Gambetta) define the mafia as a type of organized crime group that specializes in the supply of extra-legal protection and quasi law enforcement. Gambetta's classic work on the Sicilian Mafia[6] generates an economic study of the mafia, which exerts great influence on studies of the Russian Mafia,[7] the Chinese Mafia,[8] Hong Kong Triads[9] and the Japanese Yakuza.[10]
So DO NOT tell me what is or is not something. I'm 64 years old and have lived in Boston. I drove a Cab right there in Southie. I have been in a Mob Controlled Bar in Boston. I Know What MOB is. You sir DO NOT. It was Whitey Bulger's Bar, The Triple O's

Differences of opinion do not have to get personal. Let's try to keep reactions measured so this board remains a civil place.

Sorry for the duplicate message: that's been happening to me a lot lately and I can't seem to delete the copy.
Nikolay Yerioman (Champion) knows how to delete duplicates. Ask him. I'm sure he can explain how.

How about 'Carlito's Way'?
My choice here is Scarface

Carlitos Way is not an organized crime movie per se.

But I pulled the Irishman ad put it in with a notation. That way it has a chance now
If it does not go live before the Irishman is released, I'm puttin it back the way it was.

If 'Carlito's Way' is on the list, it seems that 'Heat' should definitely be on the list. And it seems that 'Irishman' should either be on the list or mentioned in the intro. since it will be released so soon.
Although 'Godfather' is almost universally considered to be a masterpiece, I have a special place in my heart for 'Donnie Brasco.' And 'Carlito's Way' boasts Sean Penn, as well as being a really good movie, so this is a tough choice.

Not a Mob Movie. A group of professional bank robbers in not a mob.
Carlito's pulled. The Irishman added.

Ohhh, that's right. They were bank robbers. It's probably on the border because they were pretty organized but it could probably go either way and it's your poll.
I've seen Heat about 5 times, so my recollection is pretty good on it's content.
Ruby, my employment history for the last 30 years is self employ. So this affords me the opportunity have Sat TV in my business, I watch approximately 15 hours a day of TV and Movies, between home and work. Mostly DVR'd, so I can skip commercials. So I can watch 17-18 episodes of a series in a day. Plus I have Hulu, Prime, and N-Flix.
I have 25,000 titles under my belt. About 2/3 are TV.
So, when I opine, it is based on first hand knowledge, plus life experiences.

As it is probably with most people. I prefer empirical evidence but there are some things that are indeed subjective and don't lend themselves to empirical evidence. In those areas, we all have to be able to tolerate opinions that are different than our own. I think you see this as a memory issue but I see it as a difference in the use of the word "mob." Both are reasonable. Either way, you do not have to give me your resume: I take you at your word. Also, I didn't even make a suggestion: I said that it could go either way and that it's your poll. I'm not sure how to sound less invested.
There's no tug of war here.
