What about The Bad Lieutenant with Harvey Keitel?

Reservoir Dogs was great too.

But if you want pure violence see anything by director Sam Peckinpah. The Wild Bunch is considered the most violent western of all time.

Somali Yankee "Gone with the wind" was one of the greatest movies of all time Clarke Gable was awsome, Did you watch "Cleopatra" with Liz Tylor I luv those old classics.
To Mahmoud:
The best movie of all time according to the sweetgirl is THE GODFATHER I luv those mafia movies, and somewhere in the top ten(may be 9 or 10) is another mafia movie called the LAST DON don't know if you watched it. And somewhere at #5 in my list is THE OUTSIDERS it was made in the 80s or something like that but it was da bomb.

Sweetgirl - i would agree THE LAST OF THE MOHICAN
was cool and it's music was great-you feellike that you are in the movie yourself- my favuourite gang movie would the THE BRONX.
i did see cleoptra with my gal but i slept through most of the film-she didn't talk to me for whole month so i had to rent it and we watch agian.
i promised her we will see all romantic movies together and she made see autamn in new york which i didn't like. Yeah Gone with the wind was clasical and i like most of Clark Gable and Lucile
ball movies.

here is my number one movie of all times:

BRAVE HEART (mel Gibson)

If you havent seen this movie, then see and find yourself in the battle field. Nothing but sharp sword on human flesh. This movie will change your mind about the art of war. For me I think war is the ultimate salvation of mankind that is when the the kardashians or klen-on showup (check the spelling). uhaahahaha.
