We've got your mobs, your mafia, your gangs and gangsters. Love to see a dirty cop infiltrating a mob boss' tight-knit organization? Want to watch a jaded old crook on his last stand against the pigs? Want to see a kingpin on his rise to the top, only to have his kingdom crumble beneath him? We've got it all and more here, in 30 of the biggest, best and most significant organized crime films spanning all periods, starting in 1931 and ending in 2019.

The rules are simple: watch the 30 films listed over the next 3 months or so, rank them, throw together some thoughts in the form of a write-up (these can be anywhere from a few words to a few paragraphs, whatever you like!), and submit them to me. We'll then average together the score and reveal Board 8's ultimate ranking.

Please submit your rankings/writeups to [email protected] by September 30, 2022. This'll put you at just under 10 movies per month, or an average of ~2 movies/week. If you want to participate and don't think you'll make the deadline, don't hesitate to let me know and we'll see how we can make it work. Participation is open to everyone on Board 8, regardless of whether you've ever participated before!
