5) THE GODFATHER

The Godfather, Source - Paramount Pictures

Crime movies for a long time were treated as action-packed watches. Godfather, released in 1972, redefined this notion. This movie unlike previous narratives of assassins and corruption changed the focus of the crime genre to family ties, traditions, inheritance, and betrayal. The movie redefined the mafia culture and has since inspired other famous works like Scarface and The Irishman.
