Goodfellas, or Casino, or Copland?

[shortylickens]

I am pretty sure I already know the results.
For reference, I voted Casino.

I expect Copland to get destroyed, though I thought it was alright. I voted for Goodfellas.

 

[ggnl]

tough choice, goodfellas and casino are both great.

Voted for goodfellas, but I paused for a few seconds before clicking.

Yeah, I have to admit though, Copland was pretty good. A lot better than I thought it would be, but c'mon, it's Goodfellas fer crying out loud.

I love Goodfellas but love Casino just a little more.

To be fair, Joe Pesci is in Goodfellas too. It's almost a toss-up between the two but I think Casino was a better movie overall while Goodfellas had more funny moments.

I voted for Copland. It's not a great movie, but it's not horrifically overrated like Goodfellas and Casino. I like most Scorsese but those two films seemed to glorify too much.

goodfellas. i like casino but it feels way, way more drawn out than goodfellas

also, every time i hear "layla" i get flashbacks to the goodfellas scenes with the song.

Amazing coincidence, its Harvey Keitels 70's birthday!

Hmm, I own both Goodfellas and Casino and have watched them many times. If someone said I had to get rid of one of them, after some deliberation I would probably choose to get rid of Goodfellas. There is just something about Casino I love, plus it brings back many good memories for me from when I watched it the first few times and I don't quite have that same attachment to Goodfellas.

Both great films though, in my opinion.

I enjoyed Copland as far as I can recall, but it's been ages since I last watched it, so can't really comment on it.

I need to see Copland.

 

[Molondo]

I liked goodfellas slightly more. Booth are trully great movies. I can't comment on copland as i haven't seen it. I think i'll go rent it over the weekend.

I'll vote Copland just because it doesn't get enough respect. Its a damn good movie, and Stallone of all people is really good in it.

For reference, all three movies are available on Netflix instant view.

Goodfellas. Best mob movie next to the Godfather hands down.

Goodfellas:thumbsup:

 

[lokiju]

I thought Casino was to long for no good reason but otherwise a good movie.

I prefer Goodfellas though.

 

[oddyager]

Going to have to say Goodfellas.

 

[pookguy88]

wow, i need to see Copland. All this time I thought it was some existentialist movie with Stallone

 

[BoomerD]

Another vote for Goodfellas. One of my favorites.

Yeah, exactly. Goodfellas has this extra layer to it that the direction, music and editing gives. The long-shot at the club and the choreography of the "layla" scene are the two scenes that best exemplify this. I don't get this from Casino.

 

[PepePeru]

Goodfellas

No argument needed.

Well it is kind of, from Stallones's character's point of view.
