Third Band of Outsiders
Second Tokyo Drifter
Quick, someone else needs to watch Casque D'Or!!
I have Touchez Pas Au Grisbi high on my Netflix list, but it is out of stock and thanks to the insidious X-Box, I haven't been watching movies at anywhere near my usual rate so I'm not turning over Netflix as fast.
Any thoughts on whether On The Waterfront counts as a "gangster" movie?

Haven't seen On the Waterfront in awhile so I can't comment on it. However, I did say I was gonna play this one kind of loose. 
And someone needs to see Touchez Pas Au Grisbi!

Third
Gangs of New York - though I'm not crazy about it
There's plenty more films I'd like to nominate but I think it would be pointless with classics such as Angels With Dirty Faces, Big Combo, Little Caesar, The Petrified Forest, Public Enemy, The Roaring Twenties, sitting in limbo.
I'm a bit puzzled at the reason, is it because nobody has seen these? or they've seen them but aren't interested in advancing them?
If it's the former reason, I can understand (though these should be high on anyone's to-see list).
If it's the later reason then this blows. 
The Collection (Blu-Ray High Definition/DVD)
Pre-orders - BLU-RAY: Akira, The Dark Knight, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Death Proof, King Kong, La Femme Nikita, Planet Terror, Raging Bull, Ronin, The Third Man DVD: .................

I haven't seen the movies you mentioned Jim. White Heat is the only movie in the Warner gangster box I've seen.
