ha ha ha-- no it doesn't "suck" but goodfellas is way better
or maybe let's just put it this way: if you had seen goodfellas by the time casino came out, you wouldn't have been so impressed

Just thought I'd state my reasons!
I will rep atsonicpark for his picture of Sonatine - now that's a gangster film (of the poetic variety) - and mentioning Blow Out too, which is great and has a magnificently unhappy ending.

i guess this is where taste and emotional inclinations meet-- to me, deniro in casino is such a pathetic character that it's painful to watch. i mean he's an utter nerd in love with a whore-- didn't we see that in blue angel? but anyway--- yeah casino is ok but goodfellas is fucking better-- its like a fucking rollercoaster-- all that forward-going energy.
