Hello there, it's Thursday Movie Picks's time, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves where you share three movies to fit the theme of the week each Thursday.
This week we have films with crime families, such as the Corleone, one of the best families ever and one of my favourite as well. That's why I wanted to pick the trilogy but I eventually picked other movies because, let's be honest, Part III can't sit with Part I and II. So here are my picks with great crime families.

The Godfather (1972)
Just when the ageing Don Vito Corleone decides to transfer his power to one of his subalterns, a series of unfortunate events happens to the family and a war between all the well-known families begins. This is the crime family movie and it's pretty much flawless. Fantastic direction, beautiful writing, and superb acting. Can't ask for more.
Animal Kingdom (2010)
After his mother dies, teenager J Cody is forced to contact his grandmother who rules her criminal family with an incestuous love over her three sons. Michôd's debut is beyond impressive. The film is tense, bitter and dramatic and what I love the most about it is that violence isn't aestheticized.
Fast Five (2011)
While in the sight of a federal agent and a powerful Brazilian drug lord, Dominic Toretto and Brian O'Conner plan a massive heist to buy their freedom. This one is far from the other two, but it does what it's supposed to do, it entertains. And it's undeniable that the Toretto family is one of the strongest and more badass around so I kind of had to pick it.
