are the same thing!

Goodfellas is better than all the Godfather films combined.

Still not Scorsese's best film though.

The corn scene in Casino is loving brutal and it's great how his narration cuts out right when he gets beaned.

Because of Goodfellas, no one can ever listen to the second half of "Layla" the same way as they did before seeing that movie.

I just think of Girl Talk when I hear it.

And the loving bruises, what a brutal scene, it is definitely in the top 10 gangster deaths

It's unironically bad, that's why people are talking about it's superior counterpart, Casino, in a thread about Goodfellas and Blow.

You will note that people can remember and quote Goodfellas pretty much in it's entirety and the only thing people remember about Blow is Johnny Depps goofy wig and Bahston accent.

The new Johnny Depp mob movie is probably gonna rule.

also the director of Blow died from a heart attack (due to coke) while shooting hoops with his son lmao

Blow didn't even seem that interested in its subject matter it just touched all the bases as quick as it could while the audience struggled to stay awake. It was a pile of cliches and it was filmed in an artless, static manner. It's a full league below Goodfellas both as a crime story and as an example of how to make a movie.

Casino was phoned in by the entire cast and of course ruined by sharon stone, who has never been in a scene she didn't take a huge poo poo on

Goodfellas was the practice run for what would become the standout greatest piece of american cinema, academy award-winner My Cousin Vinny.

And thence to one of the most amazing rap albums of all time.

There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.

the last 25 minutes of goodfellas felt really phoned in

Thought I was the only person that thought this. Movie starts great but goes on way longer then it should.

I've made a psycho call to the woman I love, I've kicked a dog to death, and now I'm going to pepper spray an acquaintance. Something... I mean, what's happened to me?

What I like about the scene is that it's so brutal and ugly you actually almost feel bad for him. To see your brother beaten almost to death and thrown in a hole to be buried alive is a level of torture no one should have to go through. It's actually a pretty painful scene, and gives the viewer a sense of what the stakes were the whole time.

The last thirty minutes is one of the best stretches in film history. It never loses momentum.

GET LOSE, YOU CAN'T COMPARE WITH MY POWERS
I liked casino but it started a lot slower than Goodfellas and I don't know if I could watch it again. All those long panoramic shots of Vegas were ehhh. Personally I liked the frenetic, coked out section of Goodfellas before he gets caught but I get how one could see it as rushed.

I did not watch the entire output of the random Johnny Depp movie generator so I didn't watch Blow.
