Movies with no correlation - round 1: Jurassic Park vs. Goodfellas (CLOSED)


Which do you prefer?

This is a tough one for me because I love both. Goodfellas is the better film, but I'd watch Jurassic Park more. I guess I'll choose Jurassic Park for the nostalgia.

"Goodfellas" wins 10-5

I have to choose 'Jurassic Park' as well.

Goodfellas by a mile. There’s not a wasted scene in it, the soundtrack is amazing and I love how these ‘tough guys’ go from boisterous and confident to totally doped out and paranoid twenty years later.

A guy from one of the newspapers in New York named Nicholas Pileggi wrote a book about the whole messy story. The book is called Wiseguy. I’ve read it a couple times, it’s one of the best Mob books ever written.

Henry Hill was a shifty guy, his own family don’t have much good to say about him.

I sense some Jurassic Park disrespect in here.

Goodfellas

Not surprised you chose that.

I enjoy Jurassic Park too, though.

reply

Jurassic Park I guess, though I don't think either movie is particularly wonderful. Every main character in Goodfellas is a piece of garbage. I liked it when it first came out (I was 15), but now I find all of the main characters annoying, despite the good performances from the actors.

The main thing I like about Jurassic Park is that it features a young Laura Dern, who was attractive back then IMO. Also, I like Jeff Goldblum's acting style in general.

They're both 9/10s from me.

Who doesn't love the idea of rampaging pigs attacking humans? Of course I'm picking Jurassic Pork.
