Donnie Brasco

He managed to map their lives, habits, and rituals for seven years, leading to hundreds of arrests. Eventually, Joe Pistone had to be given a secret identity to protect him. The rules for accepting new members into Mafia families became stricter after the Pistone experience.
Bugsy
Based on a true story. Back in the forties, charismatic gangster Benjamin Siegel – Bugsy – is a participant in organised crime. His companions send him to California to explore the potential there. He sees the possibility of developing Las Vegas into a center for casinos and gambling. His lifestyle, the unexpectedly high costs of the proposed investments, and his stormy relationship with his girlfriend, Virginia Hill, agitate his bosses.
