Directed byBrian De Palma, the gangster-centric flick would become a favorite among critics, bringing in a total of four Academy Award nominations.

Despite this, nothing can change the electrifying narrative the film tells about a dangerous and cutthroat Chicago during the risky Prohibition-era. Between the nail-biting plot and unforgettable performances, it’s no shock as to why the movie stood out in a world heavily saturated with similar themes.
