When it comes to hot movie chicks, mobster babes have got extra sizzle. Aside from the obvious (yet titillating) phallic symbolism of girls-with-guns, there's something special about mafia booty—we're not sure if it's the excessive eyeliner, pouty-mouthed loyalty or simply that borderline-crazy personalities often indicate a fondess for wild times in bed. Showcase is airing the sizzlin' (Canadian) Lifetime TV movie Secrets of an Undercover Wife, airing on September 16th at 1pm ET/PT, so we thought we'd take the opportunity to give you our list of the five hottest gangster honeys in cinematic history.

Jessica Rabbit, Who Shot Roger Rabbit? "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way." With this classic line, the long-legged, flame-haired cabaret singer wove her way into the crime chick Hall of Fame. We always knew that she was framed for framing her fuzzy hubby—underneath that heaving bosom there beats an animated heart of gold. Although Jessica made her film debut over 20 years ago, her assets have earned her longevity. Just this past March, she was voted the sexiest cartoon character of all time.

Mia Wallace, Pulp Fiction The boss' wife has a special allure—just ask Vincent Vega about the time he took Mia Wallace to Jack Rabbit Slim's. Quirkily sexy, with her black-as-night bangs, Mrs. W flirted with Vincent like a cat teasing a cornered mouse. He knew it was deadly to even think of crossing Marsellus, but Vincent couldn't resist unleashing his moves on the dancefloor. Luckily, Mia almost OD'd, leaving her bloody, snotty, and rather unpretty. Close call, Vincent. (Incidentally, despite her admittedly amazing ass-kickery, The Bride is not hotter than Mia, as that role forces the viewer to acknowledge Uma Thurman's Man Hands.)

Adriana La Cerva, The Sopranos With her black roots, crunchy hair and talon-like nails, Adriana was the epitome of trash, and we adored her. She loved Christofah to take him back after he killed her little dog, Cossette, after rolling over the pup in a heroin-induced nod-off. Tony Soprano's protégé also got our girl busted by running drugs through the nightclub he bought her as a "gift," but Adriana's loyalty never wavered, and she never rat him out. Look where that got her—dead. RIP, Jersey Girl, for always.

Elvira Hancock, Scarface A classic gangster moll, Elvira is a petulant gold-digger. She's also a 25-year-old Michelle Pfeiffer, and it doesn't get much hotter than that.

Jackie Brown, Jackie Brown
It's impossible not to root for the scheming, double-crossing Jackie Brown, even though she's only the best of a bunch of bad guys. After all, Pam Grier is smoking hot at any age. It's not just her curves: no matter the role, she's just got that steady gaze, that no-nonsense attitude, and that buttery, silky smooth voice.
