Goodfellas goes through his entire life, and more 'iconic' [read: meme].

There was a lot more impressionable scenes.

That blonde cunt ruined the whole movie for me

More like plebsino

Gangs of New York is better than either

Lol, wut? I couldn't disagree more, OP. But to each their own. I will give you that had Casino come out before Goodfellas, we would probably look at both differently.

When is Joe Pesci coming back?

CAMMMILA

I've seen Casino a few times and remember nothing about it. is right

yes

Is Pesci's death in this the most brutal death out of Casino, Goodfellas, and the Godfathers?

Memes? It's a great film, certainly, but it's got the nostalgia old neighborhood classic gangster appeal. Henry's journey, fall from grace, wife plot, all good stuff. But yea, I think Casino is superior. More streamlined, even with its running time, dynamically directed, beautiful color palate. One of DeNiro's best roles. Simple but poignant.

For fans that have yet to see it, I highly recommend Beatty's great Bugsy, covers similar material, the mob moving into control nascent Vegas.

I don't think Casino is better, but I do enjoy it more. Personal bias, I'm a sucker for old time Las Vegas

checkmate.

With Marty's next, The Irishman, along with DeNiro and Pacino. Get. Hype.

>any movie with Cameron Diaz
>better than these films
I love DDL and DiCaprio, and I REALLY love the time period, but she is just awful

Yeah why didn't de niro ACTUALLY get blown up in a car, what a shit flick

He should have blown himself up?

>longer, louder, gaudier, more music video/documentary scenes dragging down the pacing and story
>better

Billy Bats got his revenge. His death was also pretty messed up.

but he didn't actually get blown up anyways

And don't get me wrong, I love Casino I think it's 10x the movie then Godfather and the rest

>implying all the behind-the-scenes old time casino stuff wasn't interesting as fuck

and it gave us this scene

Casino is superior for several reasons. Partly because the protagonist is played by a more competent actor, partly because the character itself is probably more interesting. The movie feels more competent in all departments. The film manages to capture a time, a place, and an atmosphere exquisitely; from the clothing to the hair styles.

goodfellas tries to be funny and other times it tries to be serious. the tone is all over the place.

This, every time I tell someone Casino > Goodfellas he doesn't believe me for some reason

less cucking
funnier

i agree though, casino it top shelf kino

Mean Streets > Casino > Goodfellas

Cause people are snitches so relate to Henry Hill

digits confirm

It seriously fell apart towards the last third with all the cut film.

it's unpredictable, which is a good thing you cuck

Casino took everything good from Goodfellas and improved upon it. Gangs of New York took everything Goodfellas did poorly and made it worse.

Gangs of New York has Leonardo DiCaprio in the main role, a lesser actor than Ray Liotta, but similar in the sense he is constantly outstaged by his coactors (Daniel Day-Lewis and Robert DeNiro/Joe Pesci respectively). DiCaprio's character is, thanks to his lackluster abilities, less interesting than almost all the side characters. It seems the movie, like Goodfellas, is almost afraid to take itself seriously; constantly it changes from drama to comedy at such a pace you're not sure where the tonal centre is.
