6. American Gangster
Directed by Ridley Scott
The so-called "black Scarface" is a career high for Denzel Washington as Frank Lucas, the Seventies drug lord who cuts out the mob middlemen and peddles his own heroin until a bullheaded cop (Russell Crowe, who knows bullheaded) brings him in. Ridley Scott digs into this juicy tale with epic style and wit. No wonder Jay-Z was inspired to rap about it.
