Christoper Lee The late Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee starred in a number of blockbuster franchise films including “Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones” and “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.” His films have grossed a total of $3.4 billion over the course of his lifetime. 49. Owen Wilson Owen Wilson sneaks into the top 40 with a box-office total of $3.4 billion. After more than two decades in the business, his 40-plus films boast average showings of $69 million. 48. Robert De Niro After more than 40 years and more than 80 films that include “The Godfather,” “Raging Bull” and “Goodfellas,” Robert De Niro can claim a lifetime box-office gross of $3.43 billion. 47. Robbie Coltrane Comedian Robbie Coltrane might be best known as Hagrid in the “Harry Potter” films, but he also starred in two James Bond movies. His movies have grossed an average of $84 million each for a lifetime total of $3.46 billion at the domestic box office. 46. Lupita Nyong'o As one of the stars of “Black Panther” — which is one of the top-grossing films of all time with a lifetime gross of $1.35 billion worldwide — it should be no surprise that Lupita Nyong’o made it onto this ranking. Her films have grossed a total of $3.47 billion. 45. James Earl Jones A star of both the stage and screen, James Earl Jones has starred in a number of notable films that have brought his lifetime box-office gross to $3.48 billion. Among his acting credits are the movies “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” “The Lion King,” “The Hunt for Red October” and “Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi.” See: The Biggest Box-Office Bombs of the Past Decade 44. Paul Rudd Paul Rudd’s films have grossed $3.48 billion, with his average gross per film at nearly $76 million. He has over 120 acting credits and has starred in such hits as “Ant-Man,” “I Love You Man” and “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” 43. Stellan Skarsgard Although his top box-office hits include critical darlings and nine-digit powerhouses like “Good Will Hunting” and “Angels & Demons,” Stellan Skarsgard’s biggest films come from the “Avengers” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchises. In all, his movies have grossed $3.48 billion. 42. Robin Williams The late Robin Williams claims box-office receipts of $3.51 billion thanks to blockbusters like “Mrs. Doubtfire,” the “Night at the Museum” franchise and voice work for animated films like “Aladdin” and “Happy Feet.” 41. Michael Caine Although over 170 acting roles dot Michael Caine’s long and prestigious resume, much of his $3.54 billion total box-office gross can be attributed to the “Batman” trilogy, along with nine-digit showings from films like “Inception,” “Cars 2” and “Interstellar.” 40. Alan Rickman Acting great Alan Rickman, who died in 2016, racked up a total box-office gross of $3.55 billion in his lifetime. His memorable films include “Die Hard,” “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,” “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” and “Galaxy Quest.” 39. Jeremy Renner Although Jeremy Renner has earned critical acclaim for roles in “The Hurt Locker” and “The Town,” franchise films are his bread and butter. Much of Renner’s $3.58 billion domestic gross comes from parts in series like “The Avengers,” “Captain America” and “Mission: Impossible.” 38. Bruce Willis With $3.6 billion in domestic box-office earnings, Bruce Willis counts an ’80s movie — “Look Who’s Talking” — and two ’90s movies — “Armageddon” and “The Sixth Sense” — among his highest-grossing movies. The iconic “Die Hard” series, the blockbuster “Expendables” franchise and critical favorites like “Pulp Fiction” only sweeten the pot — and his net worth. 37. Eddie Murphy Few actors have had a better or longer run than funnyman Eddie Murphy, whose films average nearly $99 million each for a total of $3.76 billion. His high-grossing films include early hits, like “Beverly Hills Cop” and “Coming to America,” groundbreaking ’90s performances in “Dr. Dolittle” and “The Nutty Professor,” and voice work for the blockbuster “Shrek” franchise. 36. Ian McKellen Ian McKellen movies have earned a total of $3.82 billion ? thanks in part to the success of 2017’s “Beauty and the Beast,” which boasts a lifetime worldwide gross of $1.26 billion. He also has landed unforgettable roles in the “Lord of the Rings,” “Hobbit” and “X-Men” franchises, giving him a stunning $89 million per-film average. Check Out: Celebrities Who Are Not as Rich as You Think 35. Anthony Mackie The “Avengers” and “Captain America” franchises have catapulted Anthony Mackie to become one of the top-grossing actors of all time. His movies have earned an average of $89 million a pop in box offices for a total of $3.9 billion domestically. 34. Woody Harrelson Woody Harrelson’s role in “The Hunger Games” franchise has added to the tally of his highest-earning films. From “No Country for Old Men” and “Natural Born Killers” to “White Men Can’t Jump” and “The Thin Red Line,” Harrelson claims a long string of successful films that have brought his total box-office earnings to $3.96 billion. 33. Mark Ruffalo Mark Ruffalo has starred in two of the top five highest-grossing films of all time: “Avengers: Endgame,” which is the No. 1 highest-grossing film with nearly $2.8 billion in worldwide box-office earnings, and “Avengers: Infinity War,” which is the No. 5 highest-grossing film with $2.05 billion in worldwide box-office earnings. All in all, his domestic box-office gross totals $3.97 billion. 32. Will Smith Will Smith can be relied on for an impressive $126 million average box-office gross thanks to blockbusters like “Independence Day,” “Men in Black,” “I Am Legend” and “Aladdin” — all of which grossed more than $200 million. In total, his 32 movies are responsible for $4.02 billion in box-office receipts. 31. J.K. Simmons J.K. Simmons has starred in a healthy mix of indie and big-budget films, with notable roles in “Whiplash,” “Juno,” “La La Land” and the “Spider-Man” franchise. His film “Spider-Man: Far From Home” boasts a worldwide box-office gross of $1.13 billion, and in total, his films have grossed $4.04 billion domestically. 30. Hugo Weaving Starring in “The Lord of the Rings” films has helped place Hugo Weaving on this ranking. His 32 films have grossed an average of $128 million each, for a total gross of $4.09 billion. 29. Cate Blanchett Cate Blanchett owes the lion’s share of her $4.11 billion resume to the “Lord of the Rings,” “Hobbit” and “Thor” films, which have all been major moneymakers. She also claims a handful of nonfranchise films that grossed nine figures each. 28. Matt Damon Matt Damon’s top-grossing movies represent three decades of the versatile actor’s work, including “Good Will Hunting” and “Saving Private Ryan” in the 1990s, the “Bourne” franchise in the 2000s and “The Martian” in the 2010s — all of which posted nine-digit box-office receipts. In all, his efforts have earned $4.12 billion. 27. Dwayne Johnson The man known as “The Rock” averages nine figures per film ? over $118 million each, which isn?t bad for a crossover actor who?s a wrestler by trade. Thanks to the “Fast and the Furious” franchise, as well as blockbusters like “Moana” and “San Andreas,” Dwayne Johnson’s movies have earned $4.14 billion. Big Earners: These Stars Get Paid Obscene Amounts of Money To Post One Picture 26. Benedict Cumberbatch Although he’s starred in plenty of Oscar fodder — “1917,” “The Imitation Game,” “August: Osage County,” etc. — Benedict Cumberbatch hasn’t shied away from big-budget blockbusters too. As Doctor Strange in the “Avengers” films, he’s helped to rack up big money in the box office. His movies have grossed a total of $4.14 billion in the U.S. and Canada. 25. Gary Oldman Gary Oldman’s $4.2 billion box-office haul is impressive, even for a veteran actor with 50 films under his belt. 24. Paul Bettany Voicing JARVIS in the original “Iron Man” film turned out to be a lucrative role for Paul Bettany. He reprised the voice role for “Iron Man 2,” “Iron Man 3” and “Avengers”– all of which earned over a half-billion dollars at the worldwide box office. His movies have grossed a total of $4.27 billion domestically. 23. Frank Oz You might not recognize Frank Oz’s face but you probably recognize his voice. He’s voiced a number of Muppets, including Fozzie Bear and Miss Piggy, and he has voiced Yoda in some of the “Star Wars” movies. His highest-earning movie, “Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi,” grossed $1.33 billion worldwide. Overall, his films have brought in $4.28 billion at the domestic box office. 22. Johnny Depp A longtime fan favorite, Johnny Depp has been a reliable hitmaker since he first appeared in “A Nightmare on Elm Street” in 1984. The biggest source of his $4.3 billion box-office total, however, comes from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise and “Alice in Wonderland,” which are among the top-grossing films of all time. 21. Don Cheadle Don Cheadle’s most critically acclaimed works — including “Hotel Rwanda,” “Boogie Nights” and “Crash” — earned low- to mid-eight-figure box-office receipts. But his movies have brought in $4.33 billion in total. If you’re wondering how that’s possible, note that Cheadle starred in three movies that pulled in more than $400 million each domestically — “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame” — between the years 2015 and 2019. 20. Idris Elba Idris Elba’s movies have earned $4.38 billion. As it stands, his biggest movie is “Avengers: Infinity War” — which earned $2.05 billion worldwide and $679 million domestically — though “The Jungle Book (2016)” and “Zootopia” are no slouches, either. 19. Stanley Tucci Stanley Tucci has credits dating back to the 1980s, but his roles in modern mega-franchises are the source of most of his $4.39 billion box-office total. He struck gold in the “Transformers,” “The Hunger Games” and Marvel Cinematic Universe series, as well as 2017’s “Beauty and the Beast.” 18. Elizabeth Banks Elizabeth Banks’ movies have earned nearly $4.44 billion. Thanks to “The Hunger Games” franchise and several other blockbusters, her films score an average of $91 million apiece. 17. Tom Cruise For the last few decades, Tom Cruise has been one of Hollywood’s hit machines, with classics like “Top Gun,” “A Few Good Men” and “Rain Man” among his starring roles. The biggest source of his $4.45 billion total haul and $101 million per-movie average, however, is the incredible success of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise. 16. Chris Pratt Chris Pratt has starred in three of the top 10 highest-grossing movies of all time: “Avengers: Endgame,” “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Jurassic World.” With an average gross of $171 million per movie, Pratt’s films have grossed a total of $4.45 billion. On Top: The Richest Celebrity From Every State 15. Chris Hemsworth “The Avengers” and its spin-off “Thor” franchises have made Australian actor Chris Hemsworth one of the highest-grossing movie stars of all time. His films have brought in a total of $4.51 billion at the domestic box office. 14. Chris Evans It pays to be Captain America. Thanks to Chris Evans’ blockbuster movie role, he’s grossed an average of $153 million per film for a domestic box-office total gross of nearly $4.58 billion. 13. Vin Diesel Vin Diesel’s biggest movies include the “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Fast and the Furious” franchises. In total, the action star’s movies have grossed nearly $4.59 billion. 12. Zoe Saldana Zoe Saldana had a starring role in “Avatar,” the second-biggest movie of all time. That, along with the “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise, helped her over 30-strong film resume gross almost $4.6 billion. 11. Liam Neeson Liam Neeson’s more than six dozen movies have hauled in roughly $4.72 billion. Although several of his movies didn’t break six figures, Neeson’s roles in the “Star Wars” films balance the scales in the actor’s favor. 10. Gwyneth Paltrow Gwenyth Paltrow gained fame in the ’90s with films that included “Emma,” “Sliding Doors” and “Shakespeare in Love,” but it’s the “Iron Man” and “Avengers” films that have added the most to her net worth. Her role as Pepper Potts in the highly successful franchises has allowed her to claim a total gross of $4.47 billion at the domestic box office. 9. Bradley Cooper A quirky breakout role in 2005’s “Wedding Crashers” launched Bradley Cooper into a decade-plus run that included critical and commercial smashes like “The Hangover” movies, “American Sniper,” “American Hustle” and the “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise. In all, his movies have brought home nearly $4.93 billion, with an impressive average of more than $140 million per film. No wonder his net worth is sky-high these days. 8. Morgan Freeman Morgan Freeman’s legendary resume includes critically acclaimed titles like “The Shawshank Redemption,” “Driving Miss Daisy” and “Lean on Me.” His $5.13 billion box-office total, however, has a lot to do with his role in the franchise blockbuster “Dark Knight” and its sequel, “The Dark Knight Rises.” Read: 30 Celebrities Who Went From Rags to Riches 7. Harrison Ford Many of the actors on this list with a nine-figure average per movie have a relatively short resume — but not Harrison Ford. He boasts $108 million per film for a total of $5.4 billion, thanks to a nearly unprecedented run that includes the “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” franchises, as well as critical and commercial hits like “The Fugitive,” “Clear and Present Danger” and “Patriot Games.” 6. Scarlett Johansson The silver screen’s Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson has a long, impressive resume dating back more than two decades. Her $5.4 billion in box-office receipts, however, has largely been accumulated over the last few years. Her roles in “The Jungle Book,” “Sing” and the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise earned more than $200 million each. 5. Anthony Daniels Although his resume lists just 15 films, Anthony Daniels claims $5.57 billion in total box-office dollars and a staggering per-film average of $371 million. Why? Because of his 15 movies, most of them contain the words “Star Wars.” 4. Tom Hanks Arguably the most versatile actor in history, Tom Hanks evolved from silly and lighthearted fare like “Splash” and “The Money Pit” to iconic game-changers like “Saving Private Ryan” and “Cast Away.” His $5.57 billion cumulative box-office earnings — as well as his multimillion-dollar net worth — have been boosted by the success of animated series like “Toy Story,” but also come from critical darlings like “Forrest Gump.” 3. Andy Serkis Andy Serkis lays claim to a portfolio of films that has earned $5.68 billion. The “Lord of the Rings,” “The Hobbit,” “Planet of the Apes” and “Star Wars” franchises have done the bulk of the heavy lifting for Serkis, whose films average an imposing $189 million each. 2. Robert Downey Jr. Robert Downey Jr. broke out with ’80s cult classics like “Less Than Zero” and “Weird Science” — but his massive $5.97 billion box-office returns can largely be credited to his career’s second act. His role as Iron Man, as well as the success of the “Sherlock Holmes” franchise, make him one of history’s highest-grossing actors — as well as one of the richest. 1. Samuel L. Jackson Although he is not the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, Samuel L. Jackson — whose 112-film-strong resume includes “Pulp Fiction” and “A Time to Kill” — is the only actor who can claim gross receipts greater than $10 billion thanks to his roles in film franchises that include “The Avengers” and “Star Wars.” Action & Adventure, Comedy, Documentary, Drama, Fantasy, Horror, Kids & Family, Mystery & Thrillers, Performing Arts, Romance, Science Fiction, Special Interests 30. Suburra (2015) Our criteria here is films featuring actual mobsters and the organised crime milieu – as opposed to hitmen, heists or bank robbers. Stefano Sollima’s punchy neo-noir, set in 2011, fits the bill with its imbroglio of crime families, political corruption and Rome real estate. Financed by Netflix, this is essentially a feature-length pilot for the addictive Suburra: Blood on Rome prequel series. 29. Brother (2000) Writer-director Takeshi “Beat” Kitano plays a Japanese gangster forced to relocate to Los Angeles, where he muscles in on the local drug operation by shooting everyone in sight. Unfortunately, this rubs up the Italian-American mafia the wrong way. Brace yourself for splattered brains, chopsticks up nostrils and chopped-off pinky fingers. Takeshi Kitano in Brother. Takeshi Kitano in Brother. Photograph: Channel 4/Allstar 28. Casino (1995) Martin Scorsese seems almost to be parodying himself in this portrait of a Las Vegas bookie running a mob casino, but it’s a wild ride with non-stop needle drops. Robert De Niro wears natty threads; Joe Pesci crushes someone’s head in a vice; Sharon Stone and James Woods steal the show. 27. Dead or Alive (1999) Takashi Miike turns what might have been a routine yakuza yarn into a dazzling (and sometimes revolting) burst of film-making adrenaline, the first of a trilogy. If the opening eight-minute cocktail of cocaine, noodles and carnage makes most Hollywood action movies look arthritic, the climax will make your head explode. 26. A Bittersweet Life (2005) Kim Jee-woon followed A Tale of Two Sisters with this stylised neo-noir starring Lee Byung-hun, exhibiting Alain Delon levels of inscrutable male beauty as a high-ranking enforcer for the Korean mob who is asked to spy on his boss’s mistress, precipitating a series of decisions that ends in a bloodbath. James Cagney and Edward Woods in The Public Enemy. James Cagney and Edward Woods in The Public Enemy. Photograph: Warner Bros/Allstar 25. The Public Enemy (1931) Whether mashing a grapefruit in his girlfriend’s face or making his nightmarish final entrance, James Cagney scorches the screen in his astonishingly modern breakthrough performance as Tom Powers, working his way up through Chicago’s bootlegging fraternity. One of the pre-Hays Code Warner Bros pics that set the tone for gangsters to come. 24. Scarface (1983) Brian De Palma pumps up the rise and fall of a lowlife Cuban immigrant into an operatic Bildungsroman brimming with Hawaiian shirts, chainsaw massacres, enough cocaine to rot the septa of the entire population of Miami, and Al Pacino burbling in a garbled accent. “Say hello to my leetle friend!” 23. New World (2013) Park Hoon-jung followed his script credit for I Saw the Devil by writing and directing this terrific South Korean variation on Infernal Affairs. A cop in deep cover with a major crime syndicate begs for reassignment, but his police chief prefers to keep him in play as a pawn. With ironic results. Christopher Walken and Chris Penn in The Funeral. Christopher Walken and Chris Penn in The Funeral. Photograph: October Films/Allstar 22. The Funeral (1996) Two cult Christophers – Walken and Penn – play brothers of a recently murdered mafioso in Abel Ferrara’s intense study of a 1930s New York mob family in mourning around the coffin. Claustrophobic tension mounts as they plot revenge, watched anxiously by their wives. A powerful chamber piece with a shocking climax. 21. Battles Without Honour and Humanity (1973) Before Battle Royale, Kinji Fukasaka injected his raw energy and restless camera into a series of five films collectively known as The Yakuza Papers. The first in the pentalogy shows mobsters filling the lawless void of postwar Japan with gambling, macho posturing and murder. Includes a useful primer in yubitsume, or pinky-chopping. 20. The Irishman (2019) An elderly war veteran reflects on his long career in crime, from the Bay of Pigs to the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. The subject of Scorsese’s sorrowful crime epic is nothing less than America itself: who has power, what they do with it – and why it’s crooks who call the shots. Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren in The Long Good Friday. Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren in The Long Good Friday. Photograph: Cinetext/Handmade Films Ltd/Allstar 19. The Long Good Friday (1980) Bob Hoskins gives a Cagney-sized performance as Harold Shand, the cockney mob boss whose plans to develop Docklands (with a little help from the American mafia) are spectacularly derailed by mysterious rival gangsters. Helen Mirren plays his posh girlfriend, and Hoskins gets one of the all-time great extended facial closeups. 18. A Better Tomorrow (1986) Shaw Brothers legend Ti Lung and Farewell My Concubine’s Leslie Cheung play brothers on opposite sides of the law in this John Woo gun-fu blockbuster bromance, but all eyes are on Chow Yun-fat as Lung’s triad comrade-in-crime, the epitome of cool in the film that put him and the “heroic bloodshed” subgenre on the map. Fred Williamson in Black Caesar. Fred Williamson in Black Caesar. Photograph: Moviestore Collection Ltd/Alamy 17. Black Caesar (1973) Fred Williamson rocks a dandy hat as head of an African American crime syndicate taking on Italian mobsters and racist cops in this blaxploitation classic, also known as The Godfather of Harlem. Larry Cohen directs with low-budget verve; James Brown and Fred Wesley provide the score: “Paid the cost to be the boss ...” 16. The Traitor (2019) Marco Bellocchio’s biopic of Tommaso Buscetta, a Sicilian mobster who turned informant when the Cosa Nostra started killing his family, exposes the truth about their hypocritical codes of honour. Notable sequences include the 1986 Palermo “maxi-trial” and sickening mafia celebrations after the assassination of the judge Giovanni Falcone, his wife and bodyguards. Le Deuxième Souffle 1966 Le Deuxième Souffle 1966 Photograph: IMDB 15. Le Deuxième Souffle (1966) Jean-Pierre Melville’s adaptation of a José Giovanni novel opens a window on to the French underworld: its loyalties, networking (the mysterious Orloff) and louche nightclubs with dancing girls. Lino Ventura, never better, stars as Gu, who escapes from prison and takes on the proverbial “one last job” down in Marseille. 14. Eastern Promises (2007) London midwife Naomi Watts strays into the perilous orbit of a borscht-loving clan of thugs in David Cronenberg’s dreamlike descent into an underworld of human trafficking and throat-slashings; it’s Casualty meets the Russian mafia. Highlights include Viggo Mortensen’s fight to the death in a Turkish bath, clad in nothing but tattoos. 13. Election (2005) Johnnie To’s dense drama exposes the inner workings of Hong Kong triads (and injects sly political subtext) as they prepare to elect a new “godfather” amid ever-shifting allegiances and double-crossings. No guns are fired, though some poor bastards are nailed up in crates and rolled down a hill. The ending is a kicker. Paul Muni in Scarface. Paul Muni in Scarface. Photograph: United Artists/Allstar 12. Scarface (1932) Howard Hawks’s pre-Code gangster pic stands up brilliantly, thanks to dynamic directing, proto-noir cinematography and a primal performance from Paul Muni that makes his successor, Pacino, seem almost restrained. It feels very immediate – prohibition and bootlegging were still going on – and also pretty daring when Tony exposes his sister’s bra strap. 11. Donnie Brasco (1997) Mike Newell’s grungy mob pic showcases Pacino as a has-been hitman at the scrag-end of the food chain. Trying to impress his peers by mentoring a newcomer, he’s tragically unaware his protege is an undercover FBI agent, nicely played by Johnny Depp in the days before he started with the tiresome overacting. 10. The Mission (1999) A perfect introduction to the films of To, godfather of Hong Kong action cinema, and a must-see for fans of Melville and Woo. A triad boss hires five bodyguards (played by To regulars including Anthony Wong, Simon Yam and Suet Lam) who must ultimately decide where their loyalties lie. A catchy score, super-stylised shootouts and male bonding aplenty. The Mission. The Mission. Photograph: Photo 12/Alamy 9. King of New York (1990) Walken lords it in Ferrara’s organised crime epic as a gang boss who lives at the Plaza hotel and travels by limo, flanked by female bodyguards who look like Helmut Newton models. He decides to give something back to the community by financing a children’s hospital in the Bronx, and only has to kill a gazillion people to do it. 8. Tokyo Drifter (1966) When his boss retires, a loyal enforcer finds himself targeted by rival gangs in a yakuza fantasy of mad camera angles, fever-dream colour schemes and more talk about real estate than you might expect. It also has an earworm theme song. After this and Branded to Kill, the Nikkatsu studio fired the director, Seijun Suzuki, for making “incomprehensible” movies. Nonsense: they may be nuts, but they’re perfectly clear. Tetsuya Watari and Chieko Matsubara in Tokyo Drifter. Tetsuya Watari and Chieko Matsubara in Tokyo Drifter. Photograph: Pictorial Press Ltd/Alamy 7. Touchez Pas au Grisbi (1954) Trust French mobsters to have the best lifestyles. Jean Gabin revived his flagging career in Jacques Becker’s mob pic about a middle-aged Paris gangster who appreciates a nice paté and wears jim-jams to bed when he’s not hijacking gold bullion. Lino Ventura makes his film debut as the antagonist; Scorsese cited it as one of the films that influenced The Irishman. 6. Gomorrah (2008) Matteo Garrone’s adaptation of Robert Saviano’s bestselling exposé strips all the glamour from the gangster genre in its meticulous depiction of the workings of the Camorra, the Neapolitan mafia; this is a bleak but gripping picture of how organised crime permeates every level of society. Handheld camera and natural lighting give it a fly-on-the-wall docudrama feel. Immense and harrowing. Gomorrah. Gomorrah. Photograph: IFC Films/Everett/Rex Features 5. Infernal Affairs (2002) Forget The Departed; accept no substitute for the brilliant original, starring Tony Leung as a cop in deep cover with the triads, and Andy Lau (no relation to co-director Andrew Lau) as a triad embedded in police HQ. Each is assigned by his respective boss to flush out the other mole, leading to escalating tension and identity crises all round. 4. Once Upon a Time In America (1984) Sergio Leone’s final masterpiece is a Jewish gangster epic, spanning 50 years, with a Proustian approach to time and memory. De Niro plays a guilt-ridden thug seeking the truth about a botched heist that left his friends dead. A Lower East Side childhood gives way to prohibition-era violence and political corruption, set to one of Ennio Morricone’s most sublime scores. Robert De Niro in Once Upon a Time in America. Robert De Niro in Once Upon a Time in America. Photograph: Warner Bros/Allstar 3. The Godfather (1972) Francis Ford Coppola’s magisterial mobster epic is packed with dialogue and scene-settings that have since been enshrined in the gangster movie lexicon. But my favourites are the little things: Michael noticing his hand doesn’t shake when he lights a cigarette, or the bodyguard’s sidelong glance as Michael’s lovely Sicilian bride prepares to start the car. None of it ever gets old. 2. Goodfellas (1990) Ray Liotta provides voiceover as the outsider inducted into an Italian-American crime syndicate in Scorsese’s everyday story of extortion, robbery and murder by guys who aren’t as smart as they think they are. Pesci gets the showy loose-cannon role, but it’s De Niro who is the really scary one as he sits at the bar, silently plotting to kill his friends. Al Pacino in The Godfather Part II. Al Pacino in The Godfather Part II. Photograph: Cinetext Bildarchiv/Paramount Pictures/Allstar 1. The Godfather Part II (1974) Part two of Coppola’s peerless gangster saga surpasses its predecessor as it takes the Corleone family in two directions: back into the past to trace Don Corleone’s rise from orphaned Sicilian immigrant to Little Italy crime lord, and forward into the 1950s with his son, who consolidates his power but, in a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions, destroys his family in his process. … we have a small favour to ask.
