Perhaps not in effect but in practice, with gangsterism in a class by itself because it is a mixture of the two. Gangsters engage in things like racketeering, extortion, bootlegging, kidnapping, punishment beatings and even murder in the name of profit. As Michael Corleone said to justify the murder of a police captain: "it's strictly business."

Thanks to all those who posted a Gangster top 10.

This weeks subject is

Films where the Weather is a predominant Factor.

No, not Carl Weathers, the weather. You know, like wind, rain, snow, sun.

The extreme heatwave is frequently mentioned throughout the film and is I've always taken to be the catalyst for Michael Douglas characters breakdown. If nothing else the events take place on the hottest day of the year.
