paid in full is good but i prefer new jack city, boys n da hood, and menace 2 soceity
There's a shock
I've never seen "Boys n the Hood" or "Menace II Society." But for the sake of our recent "truce," I'll watch them with an open mind and get back to you.
Both are actually very good movies. But, if we're making comparisons, they aren't in the same league as
Goodfellas. Though you'll notice a few parallels in
Menace II Society, like the opening card game scene where a guy gets shot. Obviously borrowing from the Tommy/Spider scene in
Goodfellas. The Hughes brothers are huge fans of Goodfellas and even participated in a special feature about it.
Casino is underrated. Great flick, just a tad too long.
I think it's because
Goodfellas stole it's thunder 5 years earlier. If you compare the two,
Casino is basically a carbon copy of
Goodfellas - based on a book (same author), the use of voice-overs throughout, the classic rise and fall plot, problems with the wife included, etc. But both are among the best mob movies ever made.
At least 3 times when I've caught it, it was on lifetime or some network geared towards women.
That's true which I thought was always strange. I can't picture many women choosing to watch
Goodfellas unless they are watching it with a guy.
Heat (Best movie of all time IMO)
Agreed.
