Thanks for reminding me about The Green Man Tomo.... haven't seen that in ages. Hilarious.. In fact anything with Alastair Sim is to be recommended:

Green for Danger
An Inspector Calls
School for Scoundrels

Goodfellas is 90's (just!) but, along that vein, might as well mention Casino and Carlito's Way...

All of De Niro's earlier films are pure genius. True classics.
