Mob Movies Through the Years
It's not hard to understand Hollywood's love affair with Mafia mythology. The underworld offers all the trappings of a blockbuster movie: dangerous men with an insatiable appetite for power cavorting with glamorous girls, on the wrong side of the law.
Written by Chazz Palminteri and based on his own life experiences, 1993’s A Bronx Tale depicts a young man’s difficult choice between the glamorous path of a mob affiliate or the honest-but-mundane life of a working Joe. Robert De Niro directed the film and plays a bus driver who is trying to raise a law-abiding son in a Mafia-dominated Bronx neighborhood.
