Goodfellas, by many miles.

Overrated, lazy tryhard nonsense

I agree on The Depahted. Definitely one of Scorsese's worst flicks. It says something when Marky Mark gives the best performance in your movie. Infernal Affairs was way better

Honestly I just think that Scorsese's not very well suited to plot heavy films, almost all his best work is prolonged character studies.

That was clearly a makeup Oscar for not giving him one for stuff like Raging Bull or the Taxi Driver.

This is very true, its why I think Gangs of New York is also a disjointed film like The Departed is. Gangs of New York was only good because of Daniel Day-Lewis, and The Departed was just a horrible film, very boring and just nothing there, almost barren. I saw Infernal Affairs years before and had no idea that The Departed was based on it, still scratching my head on that one...

It's a true(ish) story though.

What? I'd rather watch Goodfellas than the Godfather series. I tried watching the GF on tv and turned from it. I have yet to watch the entire GF trilogy.

I'm not gonna argue about how good it was because of the obvious subjectivity. But why is it trying hard? Scorsese tried his best to make many of the scenes from that movie strait out of Henry Hills life so unless Hill is a giant liar then its a pretty accurate portrayal of mob life if anything.

Its a task for sure.

But worth it. When 99% of people think its one of the best movies ever.. You should probably atleast watch the shit once
