Goodfellas VS. Casino
I love Casino but I have to go with Goodfellas. Too may great characters...too much nostalgia...it's on right now...but it's A&E so they edit the dialogue and it sounds like crap. It's hard to beat the Billy Batts scene.

depends what you are looking for, there is no winner here.
IF you are looking for a good mob movie.. of course it's Goodfellas
IF you are looking for a great gambling movie too.. tons of sports gambling in this also and it's our lives.. then you go with CASINO easily.
i prefer CASINO.. how can you not love professional gambler ace rothstein.. oh and i forgot. how can you not like that nut, nicky santoro..

Nicky is right here. I was just looking at it from a pure cinematic point of view. The gambling angle might throw a wrench in it. Nicky Santoro is a real badass. Both movies are so good. That's why I thought it would be a good debate.

goodfellas is always the choice of most everyone when you ask best mob movie.. but you know what never gets a vote and is my all time fav mob movie?? it's A BRONX TALE.. man, this is a great mob movie and is so realistic of the 60's mob scene in NY with sonny. the illegal gambling, the horse track with Mush.. the kid wanting to be a part of them and dad deniro not wanting his son to be a part of that scene.. there is killings, lots and lots of gambling.. i just loved that mob movie. my fav of all time.
i think it's just me as i have never heard anyone mention this movie
if you like mob movies boys, watch this movie. it's so realistic and i love it.

A Bronx Tale is a great movie. I love that bar fight scene. There are many other great gangster movies that we need to bring up as well...Godfather...1&2, Scarface, Carlito's Way...Miller's Crossing is pretty good...as is Departed...these two are just so close IMO

wow, what a scene.. that's what you get for messing with sonny and the mob. .the bikers will never bother them again, you can be sure..
i want all the boys here who like good mob movies and haven't seen A BRONX TALE to watch it. you will thank me.
if you really want to know what the best mob movie of all time is, make a poll with these 2, godfather 1 and 2, the untouchables, scarface, carlito's way, donnie brasco, and whatever else you can come up with. have a 9 vote mob movie poll and lets see who wins.
i think GODFATHER might be the winner, so maybe you are wasting your time for nothing.

Nicky,
Let's see who wins this poll first. Start a thread with a poll between Godfather 1 & 2. Then have each winner face each other in a final poll.
Deuce,
It's terrible the way they ruin these movies by cutting out all the swearing. I fukkin can't stand it. Fukk.

My favorite movie that is better than both of those is Once Upon a Time in America. Lots of famous people in that movie and it is more of a real mob movie than anything. Orale guey, Santa Bruta Califas, Sureno Vida, La tuya guey

Another mob related movie you should have included in this mix is Kangaroo Jack.
Christopher Walken played mob boss Salvatore 'Sal' Maggio. Don't you guys agree?

Okay...we are off topic here...there are plenty of great mob movies. The board seems to basically agree Goodfellas is a bit better. Right now the vote is 14-9. Kangaroo Jack might be the worst movie ever made.
Tomorrow we will do a more encompassing poll.

You could honestly look in the mirror and say Kangaroo Jack is worse than Casino?
