Movies like Casino, The Untouchables and GoodFellas all have a common thread in that they get film-goers acquainted with true historic mobsters like Sam "Ace" Rothstein, Al Capone and Henry Hill. But can any of those real-life characters compete with the mythical stature of a fictional gangster like Vito Corleone? (Or his son Michael, for that matter?) When it comes to mafiosos, The Godfather rules. But which Godfather? That's up to you to decide.

The Godfather trilogy plays all week starting Mon., Feb. 27 at 8PM/7c.

Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather epic brought several powerful Capos to the screen (and even more tough guys who never made it to the very top). And while by the end of The Godfather III's closing credits, the reign of Michael (Al Pacino) has ended, things might've turned out differently sooner if you'd armed him, Vito (Marlon Brando), Fredo Corleone (John Cazale) and Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall), put them all in a bar, then had them shoot it out to a final finish. Who's the toughest mafioso in the greatest mob trilogy ever made? And who will end up sleeping with the fishes?

Arnold Schwarzenegger is still the undisputed king of action heroes. But which of the actor's iconic tough guys would survive if forced to face each other in a death match? Would the mercenary John Matrix (Commando) leave a pile of bodies in his wake? Would the stoic Terminator prove that the machine is mightier than any man? It's a royal rumble of Schwarzeneggerian proportions. In this lineup of Austrian-accented combatants, everyone from Conan to Mr. Freeze has a shot. Let the battle begin!

He's got an audacious stance. He's got a "Shoot first, ask questions later" attitude. That's Clint Eastwood no matter what the movie is. Which makes it tough to predict who'd win should all of his characters face off in a rough-and-tumble cage match. Would it be the brutal Will Munny (Unforgiven), the tough-love coach Frankie Dunn (Million Dollar Baby), or maybe Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan (In the Line of Fire)? Frankly, they're all tough as nails. Only you can decide who's the victor as they pair off in a series of one-on-one matches leading to two serious semifinals and building to the grand finale of Eastwood versus Eastwood. Will the Man With No Name get the crown? Go ahead -- make his day!

Tune in on Sat., Jan. 21, for AMC's Crazy About Clint Eastwood, which kicks off with High Plains Drifter, at 2:30PM | 1:30C.

In a tournament that pits Bruce Willis's toughest characters against one other, you know John McClane would have lasting power. After all, he made it through one killer action movie (Die Hard) and three killer sequels (Die Hard 2, Die Hard: With a Vengeance, Live Free or Die Hard). But does he have what it takes to go the distance when pitted against Butch Coolidge (Pulp Fiction) or Korben Dallas (The Fifth Element)? Take a ringside seat, and cast your vote. Eight contenders who all look like Bruce Willis are fighting it out to the death.

'Tis the season for holiday cheer. Unless you happen to have a boss like Frank Cross (Bill Murray) in Scrooged or live within sledding distance of a grumpy green guy named Grinch (Jim Carrey). Then odds are you're spending Christmas either collecting a pink slip or finding nothing but dust bunnies under your tree. Luckily, those things happen only in the movies, right? Phew. So when it comes to onscreen Scrooges, which one could dampen your holiday spirit?

Don't miss Bill Murray at his grumpiest during AMC's Can't Get Enough Scrooged tonight, at 8PM I 7C and 10PM I 9C.

Before he became the director of kick-ass Oscar-winning movies like Million Dollar Baby, Clint Eastwood was kicking butt in some of the toughest roles onscreen. Punks have made his -- and his Smith & Wesson revolver's -- day in Dirty Harry. Revenge proved sweet as the titular outlaw Josey Wales. He's even done double duty in Unforgiven -- both behind the lens and as a man who's "killed just about everything that's walked or crawled at one time or another." With a track record like that, Eastwood is a force to be reckoned with. But which role do you reckon is his toughest?

See Clint Eastwood in one of his toughest roles, in The Outlaw Josey Wales, on Sat., Nov. 26, at 7PM I 6C and 11PM I 10C.

Movie gangsters come in all types. You've got the bigwig bosses like The Untouchables' Al Capone (Robert De Niro), the coldhearted killers like State of Grace's Frankie Flannery (Ed Harris), the quiet but deadly variety like The Godfather's Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando), and the wheeler-dealers like Bugsy's Bugsy Siegel (Warren Beatty). But what does it take to be the greatest movie mobster of them all? Put these gangsters' treacherous talents to the test and decide who is the king of the kingpins.

After you've played, spend Thanksgiving with some of the greatest movie gangsters of all time, when AMC airs The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II back-to-back all day on Thu., Nov. 24.

Ah, the holidays. A time for family and fellow acquaintances to gather together for food -- and fighting. Well, at least that's how it would probably be at the Corleone compound. Picture the chaos that would ensue if Michael tried to muscle in on Sonny's share of turkey breast. Would Vito still retain his place at the head of the table if Hyman Roth showed up? And good luck, Tom, getting Moe Greene to say grace before digging in. This is a tough crowd. No doubt: a meal with this mob could turn into a fatal feast. So when it finally comes to blows, which gangster do you think stands the best chance of making it to the final course?
