I have James Cagney, who do you have?
Although, I like this guy, Jean Servais playing master thief, Tony Le Stephanois

Definitely not my favorite brand. See also, Ralph Cifaretta and Richie Aprile from the Sopranos, Tuco Salamanca from BB.
The good ones are calm and deliberate. Not insecure hot heads.
Other good ones - Jacob Snell, Gus Fring, Vito Corleone, Michael Corleone, Avon Barksdale.

Avon Barksdale? Vito Corleone?
Joey Merlino, Whitey Bulger.
In fact Pesci was playing a real one in that film.
By the way Jimmy Conway was another true psycho gangster.
I haven't the foggiest clue.
I was rating my favorite Hollywood gangsters. Not the ones that seemed most realistic. How would I know what a real gangster is like?
Also Black Mass shows what they are really like.

All the gangsters in Miller's Crossing were fantastic. But Leo was an artist with that Thompson.

Hard to beat Al Pacino in the first two Godfathers, or James Gandolfini.
