I've never seen Gone Baby Gone and I didn't think Boondock Saints was as great as everyone else. My list would go like this.
1. The Departed
2. The Town
3. Mystic River
4. Boondock Saints.

Gone Baby Gone is worth a look bigdaddy....I believe it was up for a bunch of awards with No Country for Old Men.
Also, I thought Boondock was average at best...don't get the "cult" following.

Yeah, I'm vaguely familiar with Gone Baby Gone. Seems like Casey Affleck is the writer or producer. I'll add it to my Netflix. Yeah, I agree about Boondock. Actually a friend of mine and I started watching it one night and turned it off after like 15 minutes.

Nothing tops The Departed. It is up there in the talk of all time great mob movies.
I'll add the Town second, I loved it. Then Gone Baby Gone, Mystic River and finally Boondocks.

Boondock Saints sucked. I watched a half hour of the first one and had to turn it off. The acting is brutal

Agreed, I'd put the last 3 in the overrated category. I have no idea why Gone Baby Gone gets so much love with the hackneyed story, Mystic River is an example of gross overacting, particularly by Penn and Boondock Saints is cheesy - I can see why some people like it but it is still cheesy.

The Departed and Mystic River are 1 and 2. I didn't think The Town was anything special. I'd probably say Saints 3 and that 4. I'm also in the 'haven't seen Gone Baby Gone' group.

I for one will be happy when the stop with all of these movies set in Boston. I am tired of seeing in every movie a bunch of white trash from Southie named Davey, Mikey, Petey, D*ckie, Mickie, Brian, Sean etc. acting all hard and as if they are the center of the freaking universe.

This + 1,000,000. There are few thing more pathetic than a Southie Mick acting hard. I get it, you are too stupid to pronounce the letter "R", that doesn't make you a bad---, it just makes you stupid.

The Departed is the best and its not even close. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Also my 2-5 is the same as the OP.

This. I also have to hear from a couple of people in person how it's so bad ass. I just don't see it.

Boondock started out strong, but the second half of the movie was as if they rushed to get it completed.
