Lorraine Braco > Sharon Stone,
at least as far as these two movies.

Slight preference for Goodfellas, but itās a close enough question that Casino is definitely underrated. I want the same number of blueberries in every muffin.

I believe thereās an actual mathematical answer to which one is better
itās whichever one features the most Joe Pesci

Fjorded! I prefer my DeNiro badass not brow-beaten.
Watching Reality Bites now. Iām not sure I ever saw this movie.
Had a friend who was a lot like Troy (Ethan Hawke). Total asshole. But he always got us into some interesting shit. Eventually we had to cut him loose for good.
Life was more interesting when we didnāt have cell phones
This movie is so funny. When you are twenty itās obvious she should pick Troy. When you are 40 itās obvious she should have picked Stiller.

Late to this discussion but also the number of Roger Corman films that fit this description are beyond count (plus he was even in Godfather 2!).
I think GoodFellas is better because Casinoās screenplay was much closer to actual events.
So, the two movies (well, not Mank either) I havenāt seen from two of my favorite directors is the choice tonight
The Game or Jackie Brown?

The Game is better except for the terrible ending. Just turn it off with 5 minutes left and make up your own ending.
Iām sure Jackie Brown references 100 films that I never saw in a brilliant way. But Iāve never had the urge to watch it again.

John Grisham approves of your plan for consumers to simply mentally fix brutally bad endings, but that really doesnāt work except in movies where the plot resolution didnāt much matter (most commonly comedies).

Omg
Both are so good.
Ignore these plebes. The ending to The Game is fantastic.
Jackie Brown is sometimes my favorite Tarantino movie. Pam Grier is unbeatable. Good bit part by Chris Tucker too.
Itās been a while since Iāve seen it, but I donāt think The Game would have been a good movie without its ending.
Took a look at Tubi. Itās horror offerings in particular are awesome: The Shining, Army of Darkness, Teeth, Tremors, Candyman, The Thing, Lovecraft Country, and enough shlock to keep you entertained for years? Wow. Itās a shame MrsWookie will only abide a few of these per year tops.

I will admit that Iāve had the end of Jackie brown somewhat spoiled/saw a minute once while channel surfing so will probably go with the game

The Game spoiler: The most preposterous ending Iāve ever seen in a movie. Somehow they calculated that Michael Douglas would be in that spot AND shoot Sean Penn AND THEN kill himself out of grief by diving through the sky light. Come on.
