Mafia movies

No one knows exactly where the word "mafia" comes from, but everyone knows what it is. The legendary Sicilian "Cosa Nostra" instilled fear in the local population as far back as the 19th century, initially acting for the benefit of citizens by robbing the rich and sharing the spoils with the poor, then as racketeers, and a century later—as genuine gangsters. Despite the fact that the police have long been waging an irreconcilable war against the mafia, it manages to survive and even thrive, thanks to the cohesion of its "families" and established age-old traditions. Everyone knows such prominent figures as Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, or John Gotti, because many films about the mafia and its leaders have been made at different times and in different countries: "Scarface," "The Boondock Saints," "Vice Export," and numerous films about the Italian mafia and gangsters... Some of them romanticize the life of criminals, while others, on the contrary, show how difficult it is for a person who falls into a "family."
