Gotta go with Scarface.

Donnie Brasco was solid and gritty as well.
This is a story of courage.

Don't pass up seeing any gangster movies from the 30s-40s and 50s with guys like George Raft, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson and others.  They paved the way for later stuff like the Godfather and the rest.
