Casino: the funniest movie ever made

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 2005)

I've seen "Casino" at least half a dozen times now and I have to say it is one of the most entertaining movies I've ever seen. Largely unintentionally, it is hilarious. "Casino" is probably the blackest of black comedies. After I'd seen it about the fourth time or so, I found myself cracking up over the non-stop cursing, the meanness and pettiness, and the over-the-top violence. Of course, I'm a big fan of all of Scorsese's New York movies, and the Sopranos.
My pick for the funniest scene in "Casino" is the scene where Rothstein is meeting with the bald, fat businessman at his home when Nicky Santoro shows up and demands his money back the guy, then threatens to crack his skull open if he doesn't get it back.
Of course, pretty much all the scenes with Santoro in it are hilarious, as are all the scenes with the James Woods character.
Anyone else think "Casino" is a laugh riot? Signed, MTPalooka
