Hoodlum is a great gangster flick from 1997.

Plot Summary:
The film focuses on the war of two gangs in 1930s Harlem for the control of illegal gaming - one headed by black strategic godfather Bumpy Johnson and another by white ruthless hothead Dutch Schultz. Negotiations proposed by white syndicate boss Lucky Luciano never get under way, blood flows and Johnson gets jailed. When Johnson is paroled, he gets the work of enforcer for mighty Stephanie "The Queen" St. Clair. She is also jailed for racketeering and when she leaves she makes him promise "no violence".

Harlem Nights is a great comedy gangster flick with an all star cast of legendary comedians.
(Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Red Foxx and Arsenio Hall)

Plot Summary:
"Sugar" Ray is the owner of an illegal casino, who contend with the pressures of vicious gangster and corrupt policemen who want to see him go out of business. In the world of organized crime and police corruption in the 1920s, any dastardly trick is fair! Written by Murray Chapman <muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au>

Both of these "R" rated films are way overdue for 4K restorations and blu-ray release.
