I'm afraid to watch GoodFellas for fear of finding it highly mediocre even though everyone loves the shit out of this movie. I've been watching more De Niro movies to try and understand why people like him so much, but I fear this won't help his case.

De Niro barely speaks or does anything in this film, making it one of his better ones.

It's a good flick, just abandon your expectations and stick it on.

It’s comfy

Imagine being afraid to watch movies.

It is mediocre. Casino is better.

It's not a De Niro film. It's a Ray Liotta film with Joe Pesci as the supporting actor.

it is mediocre.

I mainly say "afraid" for lack of a better word. I really wanna understand why people adore De Niro, but every one of his movies that I've seen has left me so underwhelmed and I don't want this to be the same.

You will be disappointed. I was. It is a good movie but nowhere near as iconic or decent as people say.

Also Casino is a better movie anyway.

He's shit but this film is good.

it is mediocre. Casino is worse

How do you breathe?
Sharon Stone is incredible.
James Woods is amazing.
Beautiful cinematography from Robert Richardson.
DeNiro is still trying and Pesci is great as always.
Why am I responding to you?
Casino is great.

It’s good. Casino is equally as good but has a lot more de niro in it so you might think it’s ass.

Casino is a fuckin snooze man. About an hour and a half longer than it should be.

Just watch the movie, zoomer pleb.

Stop building it up so much, it's just proto-Sopranos so if you like that show you'll like this movie.

You're a fuckin snooze

I don't see how the two correlate besides the theme of organized crime.

Have you seen Heat? De Niro is pretty good in that.

nobody adores deniro because he has debased himself personally and professionally for decades now, but he was in some true kinos back in the day. just watch the movie zoomie

It's not a fuckin De Niro movie you dumbass

Chase considered Goodfellas to be "The Sopranos Bible", if it wouldn't fit in Goodfellas they wouldn't include it. Remember that before Goodfellas the iconic mob movie was The Godfather where the characters had a sense of nobility and grace to them. Goodfellas is what turned them all into fat bumbling retards.

>it's just proto-Sopranos
no, Analyze This is

Not sure but OP smells of pleb, maybe even reddit

I'm looking forward to more De Niro, I wanna see as much of him as possible so that I can more familiar with him and his work and so I can form a proper opinion on him.

kek, gottem.

I thought Scorsese said he never watched an episode of The Sopranos be since he couldn't relate with that generation of mobsters or something?
What an asshole.

it's utter dogshit

>Goodfellas is what turned them all into fat bumbling retards
I think you mean that it turned them BACK into fat bumbling retards. I hope you’ve at least noticed classic Hollywood gangster flicks and how that’s how they were portrayed. The Godfather was revered for adding a level of art to the gangster genre. Romanticizing the Mario, making them noble warriors was like Shakespeare. It brought the attention of people who regularly wouldn’t see a gangster flick.

Barely anyone can relate with that generation of mobsters yet they still enjoy the show, what a stupid thing for Scorcese to say.

Watch “Heat”. Great film and one of my favorite De Niro performances
