I would agree with your coworker. Goodfellas is great, but for me The Departed is the superior film.

Any movie is better than that boring shit-fest called Goodfellas. Sorry.

How is Goodfellas boring?

All the scenes with his wife are so tedious. There are a 1000 movies more interesting than goodfellas. I don't get your obsession with it.

Haha yeah just bc Departed is newer and has more stars

[–] samoanjoes (58610) 6 years ago

Both are 9/10 for me but I like Goodfellas better. I don't think it's that ridiculous to think The Departed is better.

I think the plot of The Departed is a lot tighter than Goodfellas. But it doesn't make it the better film. Funny they are from the same director but are very different looking. I really admire Scorcese for trying to grow in his craft and not seem formulaic.
