Goodfellas is the better film in terms of direction, writing, and acting.

I am curious as to why Blow is a choice though. That seems like an out of left field choice. I would figure in a comparison between movies like Scarface and Goodfellas something like Casino would fit better. Or even Donnie Brasco.

goodfellas because of the story, the script, the actin' etc

goodfellas is a classic. scarface is cult status; overrated and of the funniest unintentional comedies. blow, i ain't seen that shyt since it came out and from what i can remember it won't nothin' to write home about. however i know it's nowhere near bein' compared to an excellent film such as goodfellas. blow could've been just been an hbo movie for what it was

Goodfellas. I love how it jabs the rules and ceremony of mob life the Godfather holds in such high regard. The final scene with Henry's smile and Sid Viscous' cover of My Way playing is such a great fukk you to that whole sentimental, Sinatra, mob bullshyt the Godfather puts forward.

Just so we are all clear, here are the tiers of gangster movies:

1. Goodfellas, Godfather 1, 2
2. Donnie Brasco, Casino
3. Scarface
4. Blow
5. Godfather 3
6. Carlito's Way 2: Rise to Power
7. Carlito's Way

where would u place the departed?

Good question. Maybe the Blow tier. I loved it, but it just didn't have the cultural impact of some of the other classics. I don't know, I need to rewatch it though, now.
