Has to go to Goodfellas. If you would have asked me this question a few years ago, I probably would have said Casino. After watching Goodfellas a couple of times in the past year or two, this one wins in a landslide. The scene at the Copacobana where Ray Liotta parks his car on the street, walks into the club's secret side entrance, greasing every guy on his way, walks through the kitchen laughing and talking to every person on the way, and as soon as he gets to the auditorium, they make him a table right front center and some other mafiosos in the table next to him, have him a bottle of nice wine waiting for him as soon as he sits down. This possibly may be my favorite scene in ANY movie. Ray Liotta is the definition of a gangster in this scene and it is shot on a handy-cam SINGLE shot, which is incredibly rare considering how long the take goes on for.
This is just one scene in this awesome movie and I could go on about how amazing De Niro and Pesci's characters are in this movie, but the one liners throughout the movie are some of the best. My favorite has to be the introduction of Jimmy two times "i gotta get the papers, get the papers".
Anyone else have any favorite moments from Goodfellas?

personal Goodfellas favorite. Henry Hill: [narrating] "Now the guy's got Paulie as a partner. Any problems, he goes to Paulie. Trouble with the bill? He can go to Paulie. Trouble with the cops?, deliveries?, Tommy?, he can call Paulie. But now the guy's gotta come up with Paulie's money every week,no matter what. Business bad? Fukk you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? Fukk you, pay me. Place got hit by lightning, huh? Fukk you, pay me".
it's NOT Goodfellas or Casino BUT Scorsese's 1973 Mean Streets is the first feature film he directed by his own design. had early work by both Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro before they became stars. it is an important enough work that in 1997 it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Best Mafia movie If it s not limited to Martin, then it s tough choice between Good Fellas and Donnie Brasco . Both of them has great acting and writing. I prefer Pacino and Depp combo than De niro, Liotta as far as those two movie .

Goodfellas edges both Mean Streets and Casino. All among my favorite films.
For me The Departed was beyond amazing. Everything about it. The cast, the characters, the plot, and especially the dialogue was extraordinary.
For example, when Mr French was roughing up a low level bookie, who was pleading that business was bad. "I'm in the hole, I pay him 2 grand a week, there's no profit"
Mr French replies "we'll make more fuqune money. This is America. If you're not making money you're a doucshebag."
I mean that's just great. The scene when Dignam is being introduced to the team by the captain and there are two great deliveries there by walburg.

Scorsese's last great film was the Departed. Too bad he jumped the shark with all the medicore garbage he's done with DiCraprio and hasn't made a good film since that Oscar winning film.

an under-rated and pretty much unknown Martin Scorsese movie is Bringing Out the Dead (1999). filmed in New York it is kind of a Mean Streets (1973) "dark comedy drama" only with paramedics instead of mobsters. stars Nicolas Cage, John Goodman, Ving Rhames and Tom Sizemore as the paramedics just trying to get thru their day. Marc Anthony is outstanding as the crazy kid Noel while Patricia Arquette plays Cage's love interest. it is very fast paced and Scorsese's use a of a 1960's music sound track is brilliant. worth watching when on a movie channel. was a box office flop probably because Paramount Pictures didn't really promote it BUT it holds a 71% "fresh" from Rotten Tomatoes. I highly recommend it for Martin Scorsese fans

I mean that's just great. The scene when Dignam is being introduced to the team by the captain and there are two great deliveries there by walburg.
This.
I've seen Goodfellas and Casino countless times but The Departed is my favorite; probably because I haven't outplayed it yet.
"Who the phuck are you?"
"I'm the guy who does his job, you must be the other guy."
Hahaha

GF no doubt. I still remember the time when I saw it back in college.
Before giving him too much credit for The Departed, it was remake of Hong Kong's Infernal Affairs, made just 4 years earlier. It kept much of the plot points.

Make the coffee to go. What are you doing with the coffee pot, it was a joke.
This is right after Tommy=Pesci puts 5 bullets in Samuel L. Jackson who played Stacks who who'd come in and play guitar. Too bad he got stoned and left the drop car which the cops found and that was the beginning of the cutting off the people DeNiro = Jimmy Conway started takig folks out so he could keep the $ from the Latonza heist lol

Rewatched The Departed recently. It really is so fukking good. It doesn't have the prestige of goodfellas yet and its only 11 years old, but its really should start to be in the same conversation as Goodfellas. Unreal cast and everyone is on point.
