Just saw casino for the first time

Goodfellas is objectively better, but I like Casino better - more Pesci; plus whenever i'm making stupid decisions with a woman, when i'm alone i'll turn to my cat and say "I fucked up Frankie. I fucked up good this time."

Shoulda never fucked with this broad

I'm in the (very unpopular) Casino camp. Mainly because of DeNiro's suits.

Both are excellent though.

I love Goodfellas, but I worked in a theater when Casino was out. I just have some really good memories associated with Casino.

Plus, James Woods is awesome.

Have you seen this? I think you'll dig it.

I have! Badly want to frame that in my house

Who else could pull off a bright orange suit?

thats a tough one man

Watched both last weekend with someone who was seeing them for the first time. Both agreed that casino was better. Goodfellas for some reason didn’t hold up as well for me.

Goodfellas

The Departed

That was a great music video

Goodfellas is perfect whereas Casino is excellent. There is a difference. Goodfellas wins.

Goodfellas, but it's pretty close.

and am ready to hear everyone's hot takes from 1996

u/Guinness525, what are your thoughts on this?

It’s not even close. Goodfellas is much better. Mean Streets, Goodfellas and Casino are like a trilogy that highlights where he was at in his career. Mean Streets was the calling card, the messier movie you make when you’re young, haven’t fully honed your craft but have a ton of shit from your childhood you want to unload. Goodfellas is Scorsese in his prime, at the top of his game, fully developed and disciplined as a filmmaker. Casino felt more like a late prime movie, as if he could do these mob movies in his sleep but was a little bored with them so it was a little sloppier, more experimental, not as inspired.

Still great though

Mean Streets shits all over Goodfellas, frankly. Way bettef.

Whoever down voted that has no knowledge of cinema, but plenty of knowledge of taking D in their A.

Mean Streets is the blueprint for nearly everything good about Scorcese (And absolutely everything good about Tarantino, for better or worse).

Not only that, but it also clearly inspired Opie in his fight with Jim: https://youtu.be/Ag9zbMV5URM?t=130

Never heard of Mean Streets

Really? Then you, my friend, are in for a treat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtAl0bXSmzI

Get this through your head you Jew motherfucker, you. You only exist out here because of me. That's the only reason. Without me, you, personally, every fuckin' wise guy skell around'll take a piece of your fuckin' Jew ass. Then where you gonna go? You're fuckin' warned. Don't ever go over my fuckin' head again. You motherfucker, you.

I still gotta go +1 for Goodfellas.

Goodfelllas, of course. Casino is "Goodfellas-Vegas Holiday" and The Departed is "Goodfellas-Beantown Surprise".

Casino is pretty funny though, especially Sharon Stone's incredibly hammy performance.

Sharon stone was the weak link in the movie.. every other character was great

It's a good movie, no doubt. But man, she is laugh out loud funny in that thing, especially when she's not supposed to be. The scene near the end where she's staggering down the hallway grabbing at the walls never fails to break me up.

This was the only film where she was acting decently. If you think she was bad in this you should see how terrible she is in all her other films.

Casino

Goodfellas is a better overall movie but Pesci in Casino is better than any other character in either movie. I fast forward almost all of the love story at this point tho.

Goodfellas is overrated. Godfather 3 is better.

Tell us how you really feel...

No, i'm not a faggot who talk about feelings.

Sharon Stone's endless sobbing, in and out of every door in no time is amazing.

Casino I can rewatch more often than Goodfellas now. If you asked me 10-15 years ago, they'd swap places. I find Casino the more even film.

Goodfellas.

Can't wait to get disappointed by the Irishmen because he had to use those old farts now. Could've made a fuckin epic.

You made me pop your facking eyeball out fer Charlie M?!?!?

Casino. Goodfella's is kind of cheesy tbh.

Goodfellas is actually shit. I remember Casino being good. But Goodfellas is fucking grating to watch. I even loved it on my first watch.

Any movie with Don Rickles > Any movie without Don Rickles.

Definitely Goodfellas. I like Casino but it does drag at some points.

I’ve seen Goodfellas more times but Casino is better and fucking ruthless

(Ray Liotta voice over) "I was getting concerned, as Ant was tweeting a lot. But Jimmy wasn't worried, he was making good money from the Pittsburgh gigs and he told me not to worry, that Ant would probably just drink himself to sleep and stop tweeting in a few hours. Then he turned up in Manhattan with his camera..."

Fuck you, pay me.

Call in to the AA show and ask them. They will recap both movies for you.... even if you dont call in

Goodfellas is the better film, but Casino is more fun.

What pissed me off about casino was how Robert de niros character stayed with his wife no matter what she did.

Bull fucking shit. They should have had a scene where they whacked the bitch.

But it was pretty much what actually happened between Lefty Rosenthal and his wife.

Where we at with the departed?

One thing that slightly ruins Goodfellas Is whenever there is conflict , Henry always trys to break it up like "woah woah guys come on!". He's always shocked when something bad happens haha.

For me, personally, it's Casino. Though, I'd agree that Goodfellas was the better written one; I just like the 'love story' of Ginger and Ace more lmao. It was so over the top dramatic that it was so damn entertaining. Plus, the soundtrack—I just prefer Casino's soundtrack to Goodfellas. With that said, LOVED both movies, but for me, Casino left a deeper impression on me.

That was a great music video

Mean Streets shits all over Goodfellas, frankly. Way bettef.
