Scorsese's Second Best

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2003)

Casino and this tie for second best Scorsese movies. I overeacted in saying that casino is better than goodfellas but they are equally great films. Casino does have similarities too goodfellas and that is Casino's only weakness. But a reason for the similarities are cause there adapted screenplays from books by the same author so there will be some similarities between them.
Goodfellas is filled with great performances in it. Robert De Niro is solid in his role. Joe Pesci was excellent, he scares me. Lorraine Braccos performance was overrated. Ray Liotta was kind of weak compared to De Niro and Pesci.
Scorsese should have won for Best director and the movie should have won Best Picture. 10 out of 10.
