There is nothing better than a good movie about the Mafia or Cosa Nostra, as they are known in Italy. The films in this genre have had a major impact on cinema and the Mafia are often referenced in other movies and have become something of a cult in cinema. Here I shall highlight ten of the best films in this category in descending order.

10. Road To Perdition (2002)

Starring Tom Hanks, Jude Law and Paul Newman; this is a gritty crime drama set in 1930's America. Hanks stars as a hitman who has to go on the run from the Mafia after his son witnesses him carrying out a hit. This film is action packed from the beginning and is surely a must see.
