I think that the Godfather is a great movie, but for me Goodfellas is my favorite out of those 5.

Godfather 2 is the better movie but Goodfellas is more enjoyable. It's like the type of movie you go around to watch and enjoy it. Godfather 2 though is the best quality wise. Oh and Scarface is the worst of the 5.

godfather 2. its the only movie that has flashbacks in it that are important to the current story which dont get annoying like in so many other movies that use flashback sequences. plus that and they tie up all the many loose ends very nicely. there is something very satisfying about that. :)

Taxi Driver is a mobster movie?

Agree, Godfather 2 might be the best.

Taxi Driver a Mobster Movie


I know Taxi Driver wasn't a mobster movie but i also said i love mobster and action movies. this also includes just about any De Niro and Pacino Movie.

While Goodfellas has some of the most memorable lines of any movie in pop culture, and contains some of the finest acting of Pesci's and Liotta's career, I still have to give the nod to Godfather II.
It is a timeless story, it combines a whole range of human emotins, more than just greed and lust.
The cinematography is outstandind as well.
It is truely one of the greatest motion pictures around.

It's also the difference between a fun, enjoyable movie and a really good movie.
While I am NOT saying Goodfellas was by any stretch of the imagination a comedy, it has some aspects to it that are fun...they are there to relieve dramatic tension (oh...big film class phrase) but they add an aspect of levity to a rather dark tale
The Godfather (I and II...let's not talk about III) doesn't rely on this as much, so it loses some of that quality that would make you plop down with a beer in front of the TV when you just turn it on halfway through.

But what the hell do I know


From cowardice that dares not know the truth,
From laziness that is content with half-truth,
From arrogance that thinks it knows the whole truth,

It's not even a question. The Godfather is one of the top 5 movies ever made.

Goodfellas...one of the finest movies of all time

You know, we always called each other goodfellas. Like, you'd say to somebody: "You're gonna like this guy; he's all right. He's a goodfella. He's one of us." You understand? We were goodfellas, wiseguys.

Goodfellas - friend of mine knew most of the guys that were portrayed in the movie. Would come over and give her a 50 everytime they saw her. So its cool hearing the personal stories to go with the movie

Hah, it's funny to scroll and see Big Butt Mendi...then see GRKQT's sig pic right below. It's almost like a before and after gone horribly wrong.

As for Gangster movies, I loved Goodfellas and it was taped in my area (my big claim to fame). I actually liked all three Godfathers but the third one was most boring...until the shooting on the stairs (trying hard not to spoil it for anyone).
