Movies that feel like Mafioso (1962)
When a good-natured factory supervisor living in Milan with his Northern wife returns to his native Sicily, a decades' old oath forces him to fulfill a nightmarish obligation.
If you loved Mafioso, the closest films we have are The Lavender Hill Mob (1951), Support Your Local Sheriff! (1969) and I Went Down (1997). All three share Mafioso's gritty and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Genevieve (1953).

Both lean on wit more than on drama
Gritty comedy in both cases
Same instincts, 9 years apart
Both lean on play more than on crime
Both are comedy through and through
Drama built on stillness, twice over
Both working the same crime territory
