I get that film = entertainment/art. I just don't understand the attraction to organized crime. Hollywood portrays gangsters as complex, charismatic guys, when in reality these guys are low life murderers. These are the folks that kill your family then go bezerk if someone talks about their mother...
IMO nothing attractive there. Gangster films I did enjoy include The Untouchables - mainly for the Sean Connery role, and Pulp Fiction cause it was really unique and the bad guys painted with a big dose of reality instead of the usual super hero stuff. You don't go out of that film saying man I want to be just like Jules...
