At Reveel, we have a love-hate relationship with mob movies. On one hand, crime and corruption are terrible, and people should never participate in criminal activity. On the other hand, mob stories are endlessly fascinating. There are recurring themes in mob movies about greed, corruption, family, loyalty, and betrayal. The combination of these themes makes for an unbelievably entertaining movie-watching experience. Here are our 7 favorite mob movies on Reveel.
