Goodfellas Vs. Casino: Which is the better gangster film? // Duel of the mafia movie masterpieces!

Goodfellas and Casino are two gangster/crime epics that are similar in many ways but there are distinctive differences that make them unique and unalike one another or any other existing mafia film. In this episode, we put Martin Scorsese's two movie masterpieces under the microscope and decide once and for all...which is better. So sit back, grab a drink and relax cause if you don't you might get whacked! #mafia #movie #film #gangster #scorsese #funny #laugh #casino #goodfellas #moviereview #podcast #subscribe

I honestly think both films are excellent independent of each other

[@user-sg6ju3gb3i]

Guys .... would welcome hearing your thoughts on the Beverly Hills Cops films...especially given how awful Axel F was lol

I think one of the best points made here was that Casino would probably have been a lot better received if it didn't come out so soon after Goodfellas. It needed more distance from Goodfellas to even have a chance to contend with it as far as overall quality. It still would probably be thought of as an inferior film but if it was released in like 2010, it might have had a much closer split among fans of both.

Gone for the Grealish hair cut I see!!

Well, Goodfellas is more the life story of a gangster and the casino is more like a documentary of a mobster operation.

[@ponderingponytail4191]

Very interesting indeed!! 🙏🏻👍🏻

[@khaledyafi449]

Well said; both adapted from Nick Pileggi’s books

[@Nhamp2000]

I think Goodfellas was the better movie, although I think Casino had a better story. To me, the difference is timing. Goodfellas was based on the book Wise Guy that had come out years before. The screenplay for Casino was being written at the exact same time as the book, and the movie felt like it was filmed to make a deadline. I think if Scorcese had taken his time, it would have been a lot better. Both books are great reading, though.

[@michaelharrison3602]

Casino is much more subtle Goodfellas is more in your face 😅

[@ponderingponytail4191]

Like your point of view! 🙌🏻

[@khaledyafi449]

Casino is the more turbocharged film I think
