1. Goodfellas, without a doubt.

6. Goodfellas
"Stop feeding the dog from the table with the plate on top of it!"

...that's the line that gets most quoted in our house.

9. I like "Casino" better

Probably because I'm in Vegas and I find Vegas' history (short though it may be) very interesting, and have met people who knew Lefty Rosenthal and remember Tony the Ant and his crew. I'm willing to admit that Goodfellas is a better film, overall...I didn't see it until 2006 or 2007 and I've so far only seen it once, whereas I own Casino and have watched it many times.

They're both very good. The later film really follows on from the first, in a way, with the game being taken out of the neighborhoods and out to Vegas.

11. Since Goodfellas is my all-time favorite film,
I think you can guess my answer. :-)

Actually, IMHO Scorsese is the best director. Several of his films are on my all-time favorites list, and his is the one and only name on a film that will get me to the theater every time.
