Tribute to Classic Film Gangsters

[DThinkinHumanBean]

Just thought I'd let you know I've been coming back to this video on and off since at least 2010. It's just brilliant.

[JackBenny1924]

@DThinkinHumanBean Thanks, I appreciate it and I'm glad you like it

[NERFgunWARLORD]

What Danny Elfman piece is this please?

[JackBenny1924]

@NERFgunWARLORD Men In Black Theme

[debowiec3]

Hmmm, what exactly is there to admire in so-called 'gangsters'? Tough-talking, hard-as-nails, no-nonsense types?? Isn't this what those Hollywood moguls were trying to convince us all about so as to sell their 'products'.....ie films, tv series ( The Untouchables, etc..)....surely there are better so-called role models to look up to?!!!

[bigsap]

that was sicckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk



[pcreator]

needs more rocco

[90005alexander]

good fo shooting up the cops see you wa i meen

[MrRoyHutchins]

I have the original Scarface with Paul Muni.

[andySML]

Sorry for my ignorance but guys would you list the movies appearing in this video? Thanks i have to see them

[MrRoyHutchins]

@andySML I agree,I have seen all of Cagney's,with Bogart in a supporting role.And Edward G Robinson's.Some George Raft.But I'm not familiar with the rest.

[ivehearditallbefore]

@andySML a few movies I noticed are featured in this montage are "little caesar", "roaring twenties" "angels with dirty faces" "scarface" "public enemy"

[Tomahawk511]

You forgot about Gable..

[JackBenny1924]

@Tomahawk511 I didn't forget anybody. This is a tribute to MY favorite gangsters

[VindobonaNorikum1]

The best tribute to Classic Gangster Movies I've ever seen. Thank you!

[Sco0o213]

hey what movie is at 00:38 and 2:20 The ones with the drive by scenes (theres 2 scenes in this video) please

[timpovikings]

Keep coming back to this.

It's an amazing piece of editing. So rare to find music which sounds so black and white and menacing.

When the timing's off you always notice. This is a perfect example of how to do it.

[JackBenny1924]

@timpovikings Thank you for the nice comment. I thought the song sounded so hardcore how could I not do a classic gangster montage?!

[EkseteraEksetera]

Back when gangsters weren't walking around with loose clothes and hoods

[coolyaboolya]

Excellent job! Gotta go watch TCM immediately! When Bogie played bad guys he was downright scary. Cagney: always a hothead ready to rumble. Robinson: coldblooded and willing to kill his own grandmother. What a group!

[papawx3]

Looks like Abe Vigoda there at the 1:21 mark.......

[JackBenny1924]

@papawx3 Lol I've heard people say Vigoda resembles Boris Karloff before

[nickdahusalah]

what an excellent video clip love it all the way down to the music!only if hollywood was into makin these kind of flicks come to life again.check out a dvd hollywood vs. the mob it has alot of good footage and classic flicks.

[AndreHiltre]

Little Caesar epitomised the American Dream.

[matgta3]

good job having scarface and angels with dirty faces.

[afzalivideo]

what video is at 0:58

[hippy4life4]

Jimmy Cagney....my all time fav!!!

[yeahsee33]

This is one KILLER video you have made here. One Thousand thumbs up and 1 favorite.

[JackBenny1924]

@yeahsee33

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[afzalivideo]

@JackBenny1924 What film is at 0:57

[yeahsee33]

@JackBenny1924 Thank you for making it. Brilliant job.

[vvinblog]

Well I admit it - its the best compilation and music and timing and footage I have ever ever EVER SEEN [CAP LOCK x5 =IN MY ENTIRE LIFE[/CAP LOCK]

[JackBenny1924]

@vvinblog Wow, thank you!

[Pat2296]

@vvinblog Seriously...I love this so much I downloaded it.

[JackBenny1924]

@Pat2296 That's a very big compliment! Thank you!

[storrs19]

Love it! These gangster movies from Warner were the best! Robinson, Cagney, Bogart, and Raft were great in their roles as were the supporting characters in the films. TCM is one of the few channels left that has not changed and still shows good movies. Thanks for posting.

[nicknick1963]

i enjoyed this, off to find angels with dirty faces now,thanks for the inspiration

[myayaya]

nyeaaaaaah, see. NYEAAAH.

[GeminiNightOwl]

Great montage - thanks so much! Loved them all - but especially Cagney and Raft.

[nickic272]

The 2 best ones are al capone 1959 with rod steiger as scarface al capone and dillinger 1945

[nickic272]

This film is so based upon al capone

[blinko656]

Hay where ya been.??

[SergioContiki]

Nice!

[totaldynamix]

Bogart, Cagney and Robinson are my top three favorite actors. BAMFs!

[girl43]

How classy was Mister Jimmy Cagney !

[TheDan2000]

great

[Pat2296]

I wish I could give this 10*, Love it.

[jennifer1003]

Loved it!!! Great great job!!! I love Raft & Cagney!!!! 5 stars!!

[Agamum]

Here's to you kid may the song and dance man live on forever.

[GrappleMania01]

web spawner d0t c0m/ users/ classic british gang/

[andeaver1937]

Cagney is one of my all time faves, but I have to be honest and say Robinson completely owned it when it came to bein' a gangster. that face and voice of his will never be seen or heard again!

[sjtom57]

Outstanding compliation.

[Jessmira23]

Loved it! Awesome. Personally, I like Cagney! He had the persona and toughness of a gangster. And the hitching of the pants....awesome! ^_^

[GHOSTRIDERAIB]

holy fucken shit this video is amazing. amazing job.

[MultiSpread]

I personally think raft was the best. He had something about him.

[bugsmoran100]

Very Nice Job!

[szczupakuyo80]

What the films on this clip?

[j1er2k9]

Edward G. Robinson is actually a blood relative of mine which I am very proud of!

[Deader87]

That is awesome, & I'm sure that must b e exciting!!!

[KingofStarfox]

Not sure which I like best-- cagney was the perfect gangster hero, tough-talking with a chip on his shoulder-- Robinson had that moxie and way of talking and actually looks like Capone-- but Bogey had that full-blown class, like a gangster should.

[VindobonaNorikum1]

@KingofStarfox , I do absolutely agree with your opinion. Just be aware, that the right spelling of Bogart's nickname was "BOGIE".

[swudanst]

we need gangsters now days, to control thugs and all the corruption, to keep wise guys at bay .

LOVE THE TUNE AND STILLS!

[KingofStarfox]

That was GOOD. I recognized little caesar and angels with dirty faces, and some names I forget. Some I never saw though! Makes me hopeful there's some I still didn't see! Look forward to seeing those "new" ones. :D

[ErikVaughnDillinger]

amazing video. I just wish you had posted the tittles, I recognise a few but I would love to get the others..

[78timothy]

I agree .I like the way you included George E. Stone (WB Contract player) as one of the Gangsters. His last Role was in Television. He played the Courtroom Clerk in the CBS Series "Perry Mason" So George continued to be active in Film until his Death. To my knowledge, his last movie role was in Billy Wilders's "Some Like It Hot" (1959) as Tooth Pick Charlie who got Rubbed out in the beginning of the movie, by George (Spats Columbo_ Raft..

[pdl1944]

Wow, this is truly awesome. Wonderful work.

[MsLatinoLady]

we love you james

[oldedrum]

Great vid!

---Music is reminiscent of classic movie

'The Untouchables'

(Cagney's the best you mugs!)

[chasebizzy]

Including George E. in the credits was a nice touch.

[Smiilez03]

pretty cool :D

[Jade808]

Holy crap! That was pretty damn great. Everything flowed very well, and the music was very appropriate lol. Nice one *thumbs up*

~Jade808~

[nofamenogame]

whats the name of films where the main actor is the narrator talking bout what happen and his thoughts ????

[sayward12]

What were all the Cagney films shown? I only recognized White Heat and Public Enemy.

Great video.

[IAmMySpatula]

There was also "the Roaring Twenties" (it's here on youtube) :)

[RayPaganJr]

That's "Goodfellas".

[oysterjoe]

Brilliant job. Particularly like the shot of Boris Karloff. The only modern gangster film that yields the same feeling of impending doom is "Goodfellers".

[babeokelly]

Great!!!Great video.I'm loving this one.Good job.thanks

[oldedrum]

Great !---Music suits it well like it does in

'The Untouchables'

[Kurama13]

This is great! All of these films are amazing!

[IndependentGeorge76]

great work - my one (very small) cricism would be the music, would be great with some smokey jazz behind it

[lyntoons]

Excellent job! Almost as good as watching the movies. From which movie is the scene at .23secs with camera going around the table with E.G.Robinson? Thanks.

[JackLemmonHead]

Little Caesar

[lonelysavior2288]

men in black

[kramer0419]

how do you leave of richard widmark?

[JackBenny1924]

This is a montage for MY favorite film gangsters and Widmark is not one of them.

[AwWDesignZ]

good answer, fine job on this also!

[WNM52]

Perfect combination of music and images. A tribute indeed. Bravo, JackBenny1924!

[dadasopher]

[Justletmeinyoursite]

"The world is yours"

Perfect.

[Avalonia12Florie]

[ladylove1972]

INCREDIBLE!!!!  WOW!!!

[mRsBedLO]

[barberof1965]

[JackBenny1924]

[JackBenny1924]

It's actually the theme to "Men In Black," composed by Danny Elfman.

[robdenteuling]

@leedsunited70 yep the music is awesome

[smartman43]

Cool montage, i love gangster films i even made one entitled "The Mafia" its cool check it out.

[hotpad333]

[JackBenny1924]

BULLETS OR BALLOTS

[Harlowfan2008]

Awesome! As a classic gangster lover, I appreciate you posting this!!! Rhonda

[hoffmann9471]

Edward G. Robinson was for about 10 years THE biggest name in Hollywood. He made not only gangster movies for what the most know him today. he made many biographies and other very good films and played great genius etc which can not many actors well. He filled these parts perfectly ! Then came the time of Bogey etc.. and he was able to go "into the second row" with dignity and played old men, fathers, old professors etc etc. He was successful till his dead what is rare. Thank you f.t. vid. P.

[grypnhmr]

Perfect music.

I've been a lover of the 30s gangster films since I was a teenager (before cable and DVDs).

[Screaminforvengeance]

Now that was good.

Can somebody please tell me....apart from angels with dirty faces and scarface....what other films where in this?

[JackBenny1924]

Public Enemy, Little Caesar, Bullets or Ballots, The Roaring Twenties, Petrified Forrest, White Heat & Each Dawn I Die.

Thanks for the comment.

[salsburysteakjr]

That was wonderful! I got giddy when you included my favorite shot from all of Scarface, besides the long tracking opener, that montage of the days weeks and etc going by at the side of a roaring tommy gun.

SO many of the shots I'm almost certain were reprised by Scorsese in his gangster pictures. So neat!

[louislepke]

1930's gangster movies, what's better than that.

[Mcat75]

ABSLUTELY NOTHING!!!!

[bettiep]

I love classic ganster movies! Especially Public Enemy! Thank you!

[las312]

thanks!

[vt32943]

Cagney, Bogart, Raft, Robinson, Stone and Muni, now those were men! Fondly, V.

[alexk3lly]

thats amazing

[las312]

Does anyone know who the actor with the last name Stone was? What film(s) was he in?

[JackBenny1924]

That's George E. Stone, he was the supporting role in "Little Caesar." He was also in "Taxi" with James Cagney, "Bullets or Ballots" with Bogart and Robinson and he was also in "42nd Street." He's not too well known but I always enjoy his performances.

[hawkssens]

I love this!

Thanks JackBenny1924!

[CDU916]

Absolutely fab! Give me Cagney any day. Or Edward G.Robinson. To be perfectly honest, there wasn't a face anywhere that wasn't a joy to view. Congratulations on a sharply edited video that's worth seeing over and over. Excellent music, too.

[jackiecastillo1]

I love a good gangster classic.

This was fantastic.

[travelchic19]

Wow, really creative! Loved the music! :o)

[macsters451]

Excellent. Nice sync with your music. And George Raft Ruled!

[las312]

May I say again - GREAT! JackBenny1924, you did a great compiling/music job... awesome. The early gangster movies were really great

[JackBenny1924]

Why thank you, las312.

[jkaaco]

great video - thanks Jackbenny1924

[las312]

Great clip

[kenspin]

The Original Scarface was A charming movie.You really get attached to the characters. Especially Paul Muni as Tony Camonte aka Scarface. Was nice to see those clips up there, gotta watch it now.Thanx

[matty007007]

shit quality but whp needs qualty when you've got entertainment

[raftfan]

Superb montage. So glad that I've got all these classics on DVD.

[Findulidas]

What is the name of the song, and who wrote it?

[JackBenny1924]

It's actually the theme to MEN IN BLACK, composed by Danny Elfman.

[Findulidas]

Good choice

[JackBenny1924]

Thank you

[TonyBriggs]

it would've been hott to see dem together in a movie in their prime but it never happened.But it would be hot if Robert DeNiro,Joe Pesci,Al Pacino,James Gandolfini did a movie together.

[Spinele]

hey you!

this is great!!

[3DDodger]

Top stuff who cares about the quality.

[Cagney888]

This is amazing!!! How do you do something like that?!?! Thank you so much for posting this... good to see lots of Cagney!!! Thank you! More please!!
