I spent a hangover day watching The Irishman, Casino and then Goodfellas


The Casino vs Goodfellas discussion has gone on for ever and I am firmly in the later camp. Goodfellas is my favorite movie of all time and I love everything about it. The music, voiceovers, quotes and for me.... Carbone and his ridiculous lines for comic relief....Throwing the Irishman in the mix didn't change the top spot but it really made me think about how it compares to Casino. Casino is a great movie and it was done on a grand scale, I mean it's Vegas after all. But bits of it felt have always felt a little bloated and drawn out. The Irishman feels the same but there was an organic down to earth feel to it and I actually liked the ending with the grim reality of his final years.Taking a Scorsese break for the moment but will revisit the Irishman to see if a repeat viewing holds up. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2ZRxLZ7
