Goodfellas, I thought Sharon Stone was awful in Casino and it was one of De Niro's most unmotivated boring roles ever. Joe Pesci was great in both films however.

Well, you do have a very convincing argument there. It's hard to pick any holes in that. I think Casino is the winner here folks. Anyone want to defend Goodfellas in this hot debate?

Nope, his argument is outweighing this. Anyone else or do we call this one over? Thread over?

really though goodfellas has a scene in which joe pesci and robert deniro and ray liotta visit pesci's mother's house to pick up a knife to chop up frank vincent, who's in their trunk, and they find pesci's mom awake and she makes them dinner at like 2am and they sit down and have a pleasant dinner and she tells them stories and shows them a painting she did, all while vincent is in the trunk of the car parked right outside.

actually i just thought about it and chopping someone up with a knife doesnt make any sense. i remembered it wrong. they're going to get a shovel to bury him.

Casino is pretty bad. It was boringly bleak. Gangster movies are best when they're bleakly optimistic. Goodfellas is overrated though it has some great moments. The Departed is better than both of them, just to pick a movie that's better than them, there's lots. I love gangster movies by the way.

Hmmm, now this is the kind of debating skills I can get behind. Alright, well Goodfellas may be edging out Casino now.

Anyone want to throw in for Casino or is that pretty much it? Goodfellas wins?

The Sopranos was Goodfellas and was worse for it, it was really only good when it stopped jerking off to gangster films and focused on a man having a midlife crisis, that is until season 4 and it all went to poo poo no matter what

I think Mean Streets is hugely under rated. It doesn't focus on the higher ups, just a couple of street level guys. Keitel is loving amazing in it and it has Young DeNiro playing a borderline retard.

To me it's the only good thing I can think of Sharon Stone has done and Ace Rothstein is a pretty cool guy.

Casino because there are really stupid people who somehow come out of watching Goodfells thinking being a ganster is cool and that blows my mind.

Yeah well the take message I got from Casino was getting beat to death in a cornfield by mobsters with aluminum baseball bats was cool.
