The Godfather
The Godfather “Don” Vito Corleone is the head of the Corleone mafia family in New York. He is at the event of his daughter’s wedding. Michael, Vito’s youngest son and a decorated WW II Marine is also present at the wedding. Michael seems to be uninterested in being a part of the family business.
Vito is a powerful man and is kind to all those who give him respect but is ruthless against those who do not. But when a powerful and treacherous rival wants to sell drugs and needs the Don’s influence for the same, Vito refuses to do it.
What follows is a clash between Vito’s fading old values and the new ways which may cause Michael to do the thing he was most reluctant in doing and wage a mob war against all the other mafia families which could tear the Corleone family apart.
Scarface
Tony Montana manages to leave Cuba during the Mariel exodus of 1980. He finds himself in a Florida refugee camp but his friend Manny has a way out for them: undertake a contract killing and arrangements will be made to get a green card.
He’s soon working for drug dealer Frank Lopez and shows his mettle when a deal with Colombian drug dealers goes bad. He also brings a new level of violence to Miami.
Tony is protective of his younger sister but his mother knows what he does for a living and disowns him.
Tony is impatient and wants it all, however, including Frank’s empire and his mistress Elvira Hancock. Once at the top, however, Tony’s outrageous actions make him a target and everything comes crumbling down.
Peaky Blinders
Birmingham, UK, 1919. In the aftermath of WW1, the Shelby family is making a name for themselves as bookmakers, racketeers, and gangsters. Nominally the head of the family is the oldest brother, Arthur, but the real brains, ambition, and drive in the organization lie with Tommy, the second oldest. He will carve out an empire for himself that will stretch beyond Birmingham. This is with the aid of his family and his gang, the Peaky Blinders.
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Four Jack-the-lads find themselves heavily – seriously heavily – in debt to an East End hard man and his enforcers after a crooked card game. Overhearing their neighbors in the next flat plotting to hold up a group of out-of-their-depth drug growers, our heroes decide to stitch up the robbers in turn. In a way, the confusion really starts when a pair of antique double-barrelled shotguns go missing in a completely different scam.
