My top 5 in order.

1. Godfather II
2. Godfather I
3. Goodfellas
4. Casino
5. The Departed

I can explain why but I'd be here all damn night writing essays.
Everyone is hellbent on Godfather 1, but I prefer watching the come up.
 
Favorite movie. I think my favorite scene is when Ginger comes back from LA and hes tryna figure out how she blew 25k in the car and at the restaurant.

First of all, he's not gonna wear thousand-dollar suits.
Let's say he did, which he wont
How you gonna get fitted for 25 suits in three days?
I mean, how could you get fitted that fast?
I can't get fitted that fast, and I pay twice as much.
- I bought him a watch too.
Yeah. But even if you bought him a really nice watch, one that he thought was nice...
He doesn't know what the !@%! a good watch is.
Say you go five, ten, twelve grand...
- Yeah.
At the most, which is impossible, for him. Plus, at the most, three suits, $1000 a piece. That still leaves what?

Like I said, the dialogue is impeccable.

In my top 3 of all time, I actually watch this film at least once every week, sometimes more. I watch Goodfellas about once a month. My boys are always laughing at me but this film never gets old. Watched it twice yesterday too. I always thought Nickys wife was better looking than Ginger. Way too many quotes, way too many scenes. I could sit here and talk about this movie for hours

What ever happened to Joe Pesci though? Dude was a killer in this and Goodfellas

Pesci was/is very selective with his movies. He took an 8 year lay-off till he made The Good Shepard in 2006. But he will star in Uncharted: Drakes Fortune with DeNiro coming out in 2012, and also in another mobster movie with DeNiro later on thats suppose to be directed by Scorsese.

I like Casino more than Goodfellas because IMO you can watch it all the way through...I don't like the unraveling of Goodfellas the same as Casino. But the first half of Goodfellas is MUCH more entertaining.

Casino had to end the way it did. Pesci/DeNiro got too big.

Goodfellas just ruined themselves (drugs). It felt like if they had not messed with drugs (and Tommy kept himself together) they could have gone on forever.
