Why this pick
Its stylised 1920s gangland world pairs intricate shifting allegiances with a coolly mournful atmosphere, making crime feel like a doomed personal code rather than mere action.
Why this pick
A patient, decades-spanning reckoning with friendship, violence and regret, told through an old gangster’s fading recollections; it shares Leone’s elegiac sense that time is the final adversary.
