Which mafia movie is better?

Casino

Good fellas

Casino was alright but it didn't come close to other mobster movies like Scarface good fellas or the Godfather to me. First of all it opens with him dying so that takes away a lot of suspense already. I'm not really that interested in the life of some rich mobster, I'm interested in a good story and if you're already telling me the ending now I'm just watching some business meetings and stuff that don't really matter because the guy is gonna die soon anyway. But it's been a long time since I watched the movie maybe today I'd see some new things that I'd appreciate. Carlito's Way is also a good one.

I saw Good Fellas first so it was more fresh to me a lot of these movies have similar elements and structure so the more you see the less creative and new it seems that could be a factor too but in my opinion Good Fellas is multiple levels above Casino.

The main guy (played by Robert deniro) doesn’t die at all in the film. He was almost murdered but lived. I really think you oughta at least watch the trailer, it’s DEFINITELY worth giving a chance

I've never seen Casino (so I won't cast a vote), but it gets cited as a favorite by most people I know who like mobster movies.

Goodfellas is good, but not good enough that I want to go back and watch it again and again. I think it gets a bit too much hype and vacant praise, so it's best to see it with no expectations or spoilers.

Goodfellas

But, I have to admit that I've never seen Casino.

But I also have to admit that I am partial to Goodfellas on personal grounds; I am from the same area those people were from. Remember the bar where Billy Batts got beaten to death by Tommy, Henry, and Jimmy? Well, I could have walked from either of my grandparents' homes to that bar in 5 minutes. Jimmy is buried in the same cemetery as my father.

Funny thing, I've never seen Casino. I feel like I should, if it's being mentioned in the same breath as Goodfellas.
