I would pick it over Goodfellas as well i think De Niro delievers better acting and you don't get fucking DeNiro in Jail in the end, and i think it's just better all around def see yeah first chance you get or first trip to blockbuster it's more then worth buying.

"Casino" is definitely worth watching. Don't expect the mordant humor of "Goodfellas" and the nonstop, slam-bang action. But you get a long, careful, detailed look at Mob action in Vegas in tight focus, DeNiro's best performance since "Goodfellas," an unforgettable performance by Sharon Stone, plus Pesci at his most vicious, and Scorsese's usual casting brilliance and attention to detail.

In my opinion,I would just have to slide Cape Fear in,as it is between Goodfellas and Casino.

I agree with Guineapig, it is a must own for every mob movie fan.

What about Raging Bull?

Casino: Love and Honor In Las Vegas is great.

For more info, read the book, or listen to the Audio tapes.BOTH by Nicholas Pileggi.

Yeah good point Ricardo Raging bull is one of Martin's great Films. I still crack up laughing when Joe Pescie Says to La Matta "Your Mother sucks big Fucking Elephant Dicks"

"Raging Bull," imhop, is Scorsese's greatest film, and is #2 on my list after the GF trilogy. Contains DeNiro's best and most intense performance.

They could not of pick a better song than house of the rising sun. It was the perfect song for that scene.

Raging Bull was good too. Great quotes, performances, directing, screenwriting, everything!

If you win, you win. If you lose, you still win. You can't lose.

Best quote of the movie.

Casino is AWESOME. But GoodFellas is better. Have I mentioned that my nick name is Joe Pesci? Hrmph... LoL.

Casino is DAMN good, very underrated, but not as good as GoodFellas. Still, good movie. I reccomend you see it. The most recent collaboration between Scorsese and DeNiro, I believe. Wish they'd make more movies together, they've made SO many masterpieces.

I would say that Scorsese's best go like this:

1 GoodFellas
2 Raging Bull
3 Taxi Driver
4 Casino
5 Cape Fear

(I haven't seen Mean Streets but I've heard it's damn good).

Glad you liked Casino, I loved The House Of The Rising Sun song, I agree, could'nt be a better music choice.
