Custom image of highest-grossing gangster movies
Typified by its arresting style, complex characters, gritty content, and its intrinsic moral ambiguity, gangster cinema has long been a defining pillar of brilliance and creative innovation in film. However, due to the excessive and often confronting violence, the intimidating intensity, and the unpleasant characters, gangster movies are often burdened by R-ratings and a lack of universal appeal when it comes to amassing monumental figures at the box office.
Release Date November 22, 1995 Director Martin Scorsese Cast Robert De Niro , Sharon Stone , Joe Pesci , James Woods , Frank Vincent , Pasquale Cajano Runtime 178 minutes Main Genre Biography 9 'The Godfather Part III' Box Office: $136.8 million While the universally acclaimed The Godfather Part II struggled to perform due to audience perception of sequels in the 1970s, The Godfather Part III proved to be much more commercially successful.
Atmospherically divine, Road to Perdition uses gloomy imagery to create a weighted and melancholic sense of dread that hangs heavy over a story that invests a great deal in the core father-son relationship. A financial triumph and a critical success, the period gangster movie grossed $181 million to stand as one of the most successful films that the genre has ever seen, even if it is somewhat underrated today.
It focuses on several entwined tales, following two hitmen working for a notorious crime lord, the crime lord’s wife who has to be entertained by one of the hitmen, and a boxer who failed to throw a fight he was meant to. With Tarantino’s enchanting dialogue, a story as engrossing as it is elaborate, and A-list actors performing at their peak across the board, Pulp Fiction is a timeless masterpiece of crime cinema and one of the most successful films of Tarantino’s career.
