Bad Lieutenant vs. King of New York

I'm gonna go for Bad Lieutenant, the story really spoke to me. The LT is a really intriguing character. He gets all upset to the nun when he hears she forgives her attackers but like the day before he sexually harassed 2 girls that he pulled over for a broken taillight.
I liked King Of New York too, Christopher Walken was really good in that film.

I was passing out when you were passing out your rules

I like the both classics and great for different reasons Bad Lieutenant is more gritty and realistic.

King of New York is a more entertaining film, and has characters who are more likable on both sides of the good and evil divide, and I think it tells a more coherent story.

Bad Lieutenant is more intense than King is, and even though it's bit over the top, Keitel's performance is pretty amazing, but outside of that it kind of lags, especially in the marginal narrative department and weaker supporting cast.

Bad Lieutenant for me, I like a good story of a guy spiraling the drain and Keitel really nailed the role...he really came off as sick and gross in this part

King of New York was very good though, nothing against it
