goodfellas wasn't as fabricated as casino seemed to be. i researched both stories and the stuff in goodfellas lines up alot better than it did in casino.


But imo that doesn't have to make it a lesser movie.

For instance, a movie like Lawrence of Arabia which is meant to be a biography, is also fabricated for a large part. However, it is still considered one of the greatest films of all time.

People tend to forget that the main purpose of a film is 'entertaining'. If you want to know all the facts, you should read a book.
i see where your coming from i def do, believe me i love casino! just that i like goodfellas better. goodfellas was fabricated in alot of ways as well. perhaps pilegi's excelent writing in wiseguy that made goodfellas do it more for me. casino was also great by pilegi. i dont know i think im rambling here. but you are def right sonny movies are meant to be entertaining. but for me there's 2 kinds of entertaining movies like "to kill the irishman" and donnie brasco, then there's goodfellas and casino that just take you along for the ride and you never get tired of no matter how many times you've seen them.

I hate Dicknoses!!!!!!
