Guest Jules Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'm no movie critic or expert or any of those things, but, from where I'm sitting, Goodfellas is just about as good as cinema gets Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'll be honest, I prefer my Italian Americans to concentrate on making me a decent pizza pie instead of playing pretend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied lightning Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I love Al, but his hair has gone crazy nothing is better than the Godfather Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I understand the genre argument yes. But comparing say Mobsters to The Departed just because they both have gangsters in them doesn't make much sense to me. can we compare My Blue Heaven to Goodfellas, because they're both about Henry Hill.

JUDE Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 can we compare My Blue Heaven to Goodfellas, because they're both about Henry Hill. Compare whatever you want, hell compare Apollo 13 to Star Wars, they both take place in space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 can we compare My Blue Heaven to Goodfellas, because they're both about Henry Hill.Awesome. I've always meant to see that one. Someday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Awesome. I've always meant to see that one. Someday. it's pretty funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Can I say I've never been a big fan of the Godfather? In my eyes it is much more watchable than Goodfellas, but it just doesn't do it for me. I also didn't like the Departed. I actually can't think of any "Gangster" (or whatever Jude wants to call them) movies that I really like. To answer the original question, I'll take De Niro, but mostly because of his surprisingly terrific comedic timing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Can I vote for neither, due to that piece of shit called Heat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Can I vote for neither, due to that piece of shit called Heat? never saw it. was it really that bad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Can I vote for neither, due to that piece of shit called Heat? I saw that once during a free Showtime weekend (we don't see to have those anymore?) - it is 3 hours too long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 never saw it. was it really that bad?IMO, yes. Although I know some people like it due to the DeNiro/Pacino same scene thing. It was almost unwatchable for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 http://youtube.com/watch?v=avddxEad7u8 Unfortunately, I couldn't find the original, but here's the audio of a very funny scene in Family Guy regarding the Godfather. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JUDE Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I liked the shootout scene, that's about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 IMO, yes. Although I know some people like it due to the DeNiro/Pacino same scene thing. It was almost unwatchable for me. they have a new film coming out, Righteous Kill. it looks like it could be good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 they have a new film coming out, Righteous Kill. it looks like it could be good. I sure hope so. Yes, Heat was fucking boring. Seemed that what they lacked in plot they made up for in length. Maybe relying a bit much on the DeNiro/Pacino involvement? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I liked Heat a lot. Apparently I like every movie that VCers don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I was 14 when I went to see that with my buddy. We walked out afterward both saying it was probably the most entertaining movie we'd ever seen. For months after that, we had an ongoing bit where one of us would say "Man, I'd be a happy guy if I was still sitting in that theater watching Midnight Run." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
