Better movie: Casino or Goodfellas

Both are great movies but IMO Casino edges out Goodfellas. Main reason is I think De Niro is a much better lead guy than Ray Liotta. Also think the soundtrack in Casino is better.
ETA: I think Joe Pesci is a lot better in Casino as well.

Goodfellas is better, although I find Casino is more fun to watch.

Goodfellas by a good amount

I prefer Casino. I know that it's blasphemy, but I'm actually not all that wild about Goodfellas. Something about it comes across as cheesy to me.

Goodfellas for me. The part about the bosses cooking the elaborate dinners in prison wins me over.

this, to me this is asking whats better, Steak and Lobster (Goodfellas) or Ramen Noodles (Casino)? Goodfellas is a masterpiece. Sharon Stone in Casino is some of the best unintentional comedy of all time.

That's one of my favorite scenes in the whole movie. It's great.

What does this mean? Isn't a movie that's more entertaining to watch by definition a better movie? If not, I have no idea how to rate a movie.

Joe Pesci's performance in Casino is amazing as well. Not that he wasn't great in Goodfellas, because he was, but I just think he was better in Casino. I like Nicky more than Tommy.

Goodfellas is the better movie, but I find Casino to be more enjoyable.

Another one...I don't get it. I couldn't understand if you were comparing a drama to a slapstick comedy and you said this, but for 2 movies of the same genre, how is the one that is more enjoyable not the better movie?

Weirdly enough, I know what you mean.
IMO it's Goodfellas, and I think I'd rather watch that one. But Casino is good in its own right, and it's more flashy and shiny, if that makes sense.

I think that may be what I like about it so much. The characters are much more flashy and colorful in Casino. Joe Pesci is the prime example.

Indeed. Every time I get the final item ready, I always think and sometimes say, "Now we can eat," like Paulie after the wine arrives.

Casino is a bad photocopy of Goodfellas. I have dubbed it "Lazy Scorsese"
Posted on 8/15/13 at 3:45 pm to Henry Jones Jr
I'm gonna have to go with Goodfellas, go with Goodfellas
