Movie wouldn't have been the same without him and I doubt it would be any better with someone else playing the role.

Still. The music, the different times periods, the rise and fall of Jimmy, Henry and Tommy were just amazing. The cinematography has stuck with me since I first saw it in theaters years ago (was way too young to be watching this at the time). I never liked the way Sam was so smart at everything else in life except for Ginger. He knew she was a hooker and still fell in love and married her knowing she was a scamming ass scammer. For the life of me I don't understand why he kept that damn key in that drawer at the end for her to steal.:snoop: I would've had that shyt moved to some place she didnt know of especially after catching her trying to put a hit out on him in the middle of the night.

The eye thing with Liotta is intentional, I think, during the dinner scene, everyone comments on it, "He's content to be a jerk", "you don't talk much, you don't eat much", and he's doing it right at that moment, he smiles, but his eyes are flat, because he's thinking what in the hell am I doing here, with these two psychopaths who have a body in the trunk, and are joking with a 77 year old woman, saying we need a knife to cut off the hoof, when Henry knows they are going to stab/cut up the body with his mother's knife.

As Henry gets in deeper and deeper, this is his default look. I just watched these scenes last night. I have the two dead even, you can't take anything away from either, and I think it's foolish to try to.

People who didn't like the cocaine scenes, have probably never done coke, or sold coke, because I can say, I was doing a lot of both in high school, and this girl used to say I reminded her exactly of Liotta in that scene, which was hilarious.

Cosign on the bolded. I've always viewed them as companion pieces, so neither can truly be inferior to the other.

Wasting an entire morning/afternoon spinning them both back to back :wow:

somewhere between a pair of D cup tiddies
This is why I think Casino >>> Goodfellas
I had read all the books by Bill F. Roemer about Chicago back in high school.
The Outfit was another kind of beast.
The amount of information unveiled in the movie was done well to put it mildly.
The impact on American history that the Vegas story has till this day is wild.
I highly recommend spending 38 minutes on this if you've got it.
