I'd say Departed, but I haven't seen all of them.

The Last Temptation od Christ is best by far. Mean Streets and The Age of Innocence are worth a mention together with the most popular options in this thread. However, PTA is a better director, he has at least two more creative decades ahead of him and I am so stoked for Inherent Vice.

I liked Departed the most even if it is a remake of a better film in many ways (internal affairs).

LifeSizePotato posted:i haven't seen internal affairs but i have a hard time believing it's better than the departed It has a tighter story and is more epic. Departed is grittier and more all over the place. Maybe better isnt the word. Different isnt the word either though. Departed looks like the ripoff after youve seen both, thats all. Even if it is creative in its own way.

Goodfellas has Jimmy Two-times (I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers), delicious meals made in prison in which the mob boss cuts garlic with a razor, and the scene where Joe Pesci and his mom discuss why that painting with the old man and his two dogs is so great. My mind goes blank when I try to think of classic Casino scenes.

Vogler posted:My mind goes blank when I try to think of classic Casino scenes. Joe Pesci verbally tearing De Niro a new rear end in a top hat in the desert the thing about Casino is it's not really that similar to Goodfellas. Goodfellas is way more grounded, and we have an audience identification character who came up from being a regular nobody. Casino is entirely comprised of rich assholes from start to finish, and plays out like a sleazy, hilarious melodrama (I laugh during De Niro flying through the air in the opening credits every time, it's loving hysterical) that's way flashier and excessive.

Vogler posted:Ugh this tries so hard to be cool it's worse than that loving The Wolf scene in Pulp Fiction I would agree if he was acting like that in only the one scene, but the character he plays is consistent with that attitude throughout the whole movie. It's like the way Pesci played a complete lunatic from start to end in Goodfellas, not just the "Am I a clown scene" that people most people bring up ad nauseum.

Does anyone remember the "I'm here to loving amuse you?" scene from Goodfellas? That one is really good.

The departed is a flashier but worse donnie brasco. I'd pick goodfellas over taxi driver and then raging bull third. All three are great and I wouldn't fault anyone for picking any of the three first.

The ones I've seen in order: Goodfellas Gangs of New York Taxi Driver Casino Wolf of Wall Street King of Comedy The Departed The Aviator After Hours Goodfellas is more entertaining than The Godfather. If I want art, I'd watch Godfather. If I want to see an action mob movie, well... Daniel Day Lewis' Butcher in Gangs of New York was a really fun character. Oh and it features a guy swinging around a Shillelagh. King of Comedy is good if only to remember that Sandra Bernhard was a real person. Taxi Driver was good but not the unbelievable movie I'd been led to expect. Atoramos fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Sep 23, 2014 |

LifeSizePotato posted:that and raging bull. i'm just a rube i guess A vet with a twisted moral compass who manages to escape after attempting a political assassination and becomes a hero after killing a pimp instead. I mean the movie isn't terrible but Bickle just doesn't sell me. I almost enjoy Pupkin more as a character, but King of Comedy does sort of fall apart as it goes on. Medium Cool posted:after hours is really great and it was written by the same guy who wrote vampire's kiss which is also really great and funny I didn't know this and I've seen both. After Hours is ok but if Hackett is supposed to be a guy who's just 'down on his luck' it doesn't really work out. Guy steals a cab ride and then goes through a girl's poo poo, sneaking out when he sees her burn medication. Guy's a jerk. Atoramos fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Sep 23, 2014 |

Taxi Driver has a weird ending but the mood is so strange throughout the entire movie that I actually don't mind. Also I think it has the best actor performance of all time by De Niro.
