| They're both so similar... But Casino did have Sharon Stone as an excellent crazy, much better than the wife in Goodfellas. Maybe that's the difference. |

| The 3+ minute long shot that follows Ray Liotta in through the back entrance to that one club/restaurant is enough to make Goodfellas better alone. What an amazing shot. |

| they are completely different genres. One is a forest gump like historical outlook from a certain perspective. The other one is a mobster movie. |

What? They are both essentially mobster movies and both based on actual events and people. |

| Goodfellas. Casino reuses most of the style and techniques, but lays it on a bit thick. To me it feels like 70% of the film consists of voice-over narration set to long panning shots of a gaming floor while some vintage '60s oldies play on the soundtrack. Then every 15 minutes or so it stops so someone can get brutally killed. |

not really.
One is told va the lens of the mob but is really just a historical period film. Forest gump and casino are pretty much the same movie if you strip away the details. |

| For someone who supposedly scores films, you are remarkably at understanding them. |

| On a related note can we all agree that Gangster Squad looks like complete garbage? |
