The great part of Casino is everything in the movie actually happened.
I am not sure how much of Goodfellas was based on fact.If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

Goodfellas was taken from the book actually written about Henry Hill's life, the book is basically the movie, all happened - it's called, "Wiseguy" written by Nicholas Pileggi, and a lot of Henry's dialogue in the film is straight from the book...the "F U Pay me, I don't care if you house burns down, PAY ME"...straight from the book. It's an awesome read.... Originally Posted by rolodave

My favorite gangster movie is Once upon a time in America. Loved Goodfellas, though. But as for getting old... consider the alternative.

Leone is best known for his Eastwood westerns but I did like this movie a lot. Epic like Good, Bad, Ugly. Originally Posted by vicmaldo

You young whippersnappers don't know what a good movie is.
A good whodunit from the 40s where you actually had to use some grey matter to follow the twisting plot and figure who the culprit was before it was revealed at the end. Even earlier, a good radio show before T.V existed.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero
