1. Every time I watch it I like it more. I always have Godfather 1/2 above it but I might be convinced Goodfellas is better. And the scenes in Goodfellas have just so much to them, Scorsese really uses the camera well.

    For me Godfather 1 & 2 is still better than Goodfellas because of a more ambitious story, the innovations it brought to movies, fantastic cast, etc., but Goodfellas is #3 in Mafia movies.

    Yeah Godfather 1/2 is basically an epic. The stories they tell and acting are superb. Goodfellas just feels like it flows better whereas Godfather is like an investment to watch.

    I am guessing the 1997 one is a remake. More than likely equally as violent I am guessing.


    The 1997 is the original actually (the remake was in 2007). Disturbing and violent, but what surprised me was breaking the 4th wall during some scenes!

    I don't know what year it was or that I care which one was first, I know it was remade at some point. Just know that I did not like what I was seeing and walked out. I seldom do that at festivals/screenings, but this was enough to test me.
    I only have to tune into CNN for an hour and I know I will see worse happening in reality so to endure 90 minutes of simulated torture...
