By doing this research, I have found that most of the films listed were either produced & distributed by Warner Bros and Paramount pictures. Both produce a wide range of genre's but have produced some of the biggest gangster films such as The Godfather and Goodfellas. They have also created widely popular films such as Mean Girls and Harry Potter.

Also the research shows that Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino are very common directors in the crime-thriller/gangster genre.
