I dunno, srussel and Looney4Clooney thinking you're a mypoic ass is rather a badge of honour, because it means you must be doing something right.

Nothing about this sentence is obvious to me.

I'd say Casino cause that's the one I saw more times. Goodfellas were good and all, but De Niro wasn't the main character

If long tracking, cut-free shots is what you dig, check out just about any movie with Brian De Palma behind the camera. He loves to let scenes play out organically. I'm sure Tarantino caught quite a bit of inspiration from De Palma's works (along with Scorsese, no doubt).

It wasn't well received by critics or many movie-goers, but Mission to Mars is a good example...a lot of scenes let the audience dwell on the progression of the events happening, rather than resorting to hyperkinetic editing in order to build some sense of adrenaline or excitement.


Goodfellas wins, by the way, but Casino definitely deserves its own recognition for reasons that don't even need to be said. Both movies are pure Scorsese right down to their cores.

I am.

I've never been able to finish The Godfather

heat > all

but i always liked casino more. it felt like goodfellas 2.0...the violence, the tragedy, everything felt one-upped to me.

I know I bang on about this a lot, but I managed to see Robocop at a local independent cinema last night and noticed for the first time a fantastic long take: where we enter the boardroom with Bob Morten and Johnson, pick up Dick Jones and the Old Man coming the other way, follow them to their seats and pull back to bring the whole room into shot and stop behind the model of Delta City. Not as ostentatious a shot as the ones mentioned so far in this thread, but still brilliantly executed.

fuck my memory is shit. i totally forgot robocop's scene in goodfellas.

It's a rare European recut by Paul Verhoeven. The running time is considerably shorter, due to a crucial scene where Robocop enters the Copacabana club and guns down the entire mafia.
