I have watched Carlito's Way the other day, and it was quite good. But some scenes were a bit boring. I can watch Godfather(2-3 hour) films any day, but soem scenes in C.W were just boring. But he movie did have a lot of great scenes also. So my first question is Scarface better than C.W?
A week ago I watched Casino, and it was amazing. I will keep it short and just ask is Goodfelas better than Casino?

Just my opinion, but I feel Casino is just a 'slick' mafia film.
Goodfellas was a massive success, and I think that on the back of it, Scorsese went on to make a bigger budget, more glamorous film with less of a storyline.
Still an enjoyable film though.

I remember watching Most of Casino and finding myself a little bored here and there as to where in Goodfellas my attention was drawn pretty much throughout the entire film, with the exception of the last 30 min or so with all the coke torubles and whatnot, that always seems to bore me a little. Goodfellas IS my fav mob film I'd say, its got alot of good elements. I have yet to see Carlitos Way but most of the BB members here gave it good reviews so its next on my rent list.

Now I like Goodfellas more. Fact is, doesn't matter which one is bettr; go and buy Goodfellas anyway! Now!  I had the exact same thing! I first watched Casino, a couple of weeks after that Goodfellas, and I didn't like it as much, but when seeing it the second time I liked it alot better. Originally posted by Irishman12:

I'm with you on Casino, GF--at three hours, there was no way Scorsese could sustain the pace that helped make Goodfellas such a great film. But, while we didn't get the slam-bang action and mordant humor of Goodfellas in Casino, we did get a careful, detailed view of Vegas operations, plus DeNiro's best performance since Goodfellas, plus an amazing performance from Sharon Stone. Still, Goodfellas was better overall.
