Goodfellas VS. Casino

[Cougar Bait]

I love Casino but I have to go with Goodfellas. Too may great characters...too much nostalgia...it's on right now...but it's A&E so they edit the dialogue and it sounds like crap. It's hard to beat the Billy Batts scene.

[TheLock]

Watching either movie on regular TV FTL

[Nicky Santoro]

depends what you are looking for, there is no winner here.

IF you are looking for a good mob movie.. of course it's Goodfellas

IF you are looking for a great gambling movie too.. tons of sports gambling in this also and it's our lives.. then you go with CASINO easily.


i prefer CASINO.. how can you not love professional gambler ace rothstein.. oh and i forgot. how can you not like that nut, nicky santoro..

[Cougar Bait]

Nicky is right here. I was just looking at it from a pure cinematic point of view. The gambling angle might throw a wrench in it. Nicky Santoro is a real badass. Both movies are so good. That's why I thought it would be a good debate.

[Mudcat]

Goodfellas by a fair margin.

[Nicky Santoro]

goodfellas is always the choice of most everyone when you ask best mob movie.. but you know what never gets a vote and is my all time fav mob movie?? it's A BRONX TALE.. man, this is a great mob movie and is so realistic of the 60's mob scene in NY with sonny. the illegal gambling, the horse track with Mush.. the kid wanting to be a part of them and dad deniro not wanting his son to be a part of that scene.. there is killings, lots and lots of gambling.. i just loved that mob movie. my fav of all time.
i think it's just me as i have never heard anyone mention this movie

if you like mob movies boys, watch this movie. it's so realistic and i love it.

[Cougar Bait]

A Bronx Tale is a great movie. I love that bar fight scene. There are many other great gangster movies that we need to bring up as well...Godfather...1&2, Scarface, Carlito's Way...Miller's Crossing is pretty good...as is Departed...these two are just so close IMO

[Reload]

Love both, but Casino gets my vote. Because it has the holy of holies - "the count room!"

[MartinBlank]

Both are great movies

[BGS 9.5]

Goodfellas by a fair margin.

+1, they are both in my top 10 all time like many others, but GF shines above.

wow, what a scene.. that's what you get for messing with sonny and the mob. .the bikers will never bother them again, you can be sure..

i want all the boys here who like good mob movies and haven't seen A BRONX TALE to watch it. you will thank me.


if you really want to know what the best mob movie of all time is, make a poll with these 2, godfather 1 and 2, the untouchables, scarface, carlito's way, donnie brasco, and whatever else you can come up with. have a 9 vote mob movie poll and lets see who wins.

i think GODFATHER might be the winner, so maybe you are wasting your time for nothing.

[Deuce]

I love them both. Was watching as well Cougie.

[Cougar Bait]

Nicky,

Let's see who wins this poll first. Start a thread with a poll between Godfather 1 & 2. Then have each winner face each other in a final poll.

Deuce,

It's terrible the way they ruin these movies by cutting out all the swearing. I fukkin can't stand it. Fukk.

[Gemoka]

Both are great

Casino gets the nod

[joeybagadonuts]

Goodfellas by a mile.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Goodfellas and it's not close.

[rjt721]

Casino is good, Goodfellas is great.

[Killer_Demo]

goodfellas over casino for me

[LVHerbie]

Both are good movies but as a gambler I have to go with Casino....

[Cougar Bait]

I am alright...you aint alright you little fukkin prick...Dance the fukkin drink back here ya little prick...let him crawl there like he crawls for the fukkin drinks...



Give us a couple a fukkin steps here spider...

[flyingillini]

My favorite movie that is better than both of those is Once Upon a Time in America. Lots of famous people in that movie and it is more of a real mob movie than anything. Orale guey, Santa Bruta Califas, Sureno Vida, La tuya guey

[Cougar Bait]

Good call Illini...really good call...how did I forget this one...

[flyingillini]

Good call Illini...really good call...how did I forget this one...

By far better than Goodfellas and Casino.

[robmpink]

Another mob related movie you should have included in this mix is Kangaroo Jack.

Christopher Walken played mob boss Salvatore 'Sal' Maggio. Don't you guys agree?

[GELATINOUS CUBE]

casino.

ace and nicky are in goodfellas... what is that a sequel to casino?

[DwightShrute]

Analyze This?

[1st and Ten]

Problem with both of these movies is I have seen them way too many times....no longer fun

[Cougar Bait]

Okay...we are off topic here...there are plenty of great mob movies. The board seems to basically agree Goodfellas is a bit better. Right now the vote is 14-9. Kangaroo Jack might be the worst movie ever made.

Tomorrow we will do a more encompassing poll.

You could honestly look in the mirror and say Kangaroo Jack is worse than Casino?

[1st and Ten]

How about Godfather II for Christ's sake?

[NYER5680]

Very very slight edge to casino

[Cougar Bait]

You could honestly look in the mirror and say Kangaroo Jack is worse than Casino?

Yes, most certainly.

[Cougar Bait]

How about Godfather II for Christ's sake?

We will be starting a more encompassing poll per Nicky Santoro tomorrow after this vote is decided. Godfather 2 will be in the mix, I assure you.

[robmpink]

Yes, most certainly.
