The Godfather remains one of the best movies ever, but some crime and gangster films come close to being as good.

Whether heroic or villainous, these iconic biker gangs left an indelible impression on audiences when they appeared in various films and television series.

The movie was so successful that Hollywood made more than 50 gangster movies the following year. The most violent movie of 1932 was Scarface, starring Paul Muni as Tony Camonte, a Chicago mobster.
