I just watched Gangs of New York again. It has some great characters and lines:
Boss Tweed:
''The appearance of law must be upheld, especially while it's being broken.''
''Remember the first rule of politics. The ballots don't make the results, the counters make the results. The counters. Keep counting.''
''We're burying a lot of votes tonight.''
Bill the butcher:
''Don't mind him. He used to be an Irishman.''
''Here's the thing. I don't give a tuppenny fuck about your moral conundrum, you meat-headed shit-sack. That's more or less the thing. And I want you to go out there... You, nobody else. None of your little minions. I want you to go out there. And I want you to punish the person who's responsible for murdering this poor little rabbit. Is that understood?''

Monk McGinn:
''There you are, Bill. The people have spoken. The very notion of violent reprisal benumbs them.''
