List: Top 3 Movie Gangsters
This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we discuss Black Mass and Johnny Depp playing the notorious gangster, Whitey Bulger. Movie gangsters have filled theater screens for as long as film has been around. Or at least it feels that way and some characters in this genre are the most iconic characters of all time, regardless of genre. So, there was a lot to choose from. And given the kind of task set before us, we came up with some pretty good lists.
